To say that Celtic have been a dominant force in Scotland would be a colossal understatement. They won the last three league titles and 12 of the previous 13 titles, and they are not slowing down. They are in first place in the Premiership with a points advantage over their arch-rival, Rangers FC, and with one game played less. Right now, the bookies have no doubt they will win the title, offering odds of only 1.01! Additionally, they managed to secure the Champions League 1/16 Finals, where they will face Bayern Munich in about two weeks.
Dundee FC are a team that pretty much constantly moved between the Premiership and Championship. This season, even though they are in 10th place, they are averaging only 0.1 points per game less than last season when they finished 6th. Right now, they are in 10th place with 27 points in 24 rounds - only four points away from reaching the Championship Group and one game played less than 6th-placed Motherwell.
Celtic vs Dundee FC pick: Celtic to win and cover the -2 AH spread
Celtic have been fantastic, winning 20 out of 24 league games - 83.3%, and at home, that number is even higher as they won 91% of their games. This season, they are still unbeaten in all 20 games across the competitions. In 15 out of those 20 games, they won by two or more goals!
Dundee FC had some success lately, but we do not trust them away from home, especially after losing the last game against Hearts 6:0. In the last ten road games in all competitions, they lost six times!
These teams met only around 15 days ago, which ended in a 3:3 draw. Still, Celtic were a lot better and deserved a win. However, if we look at h2h games at Celtic Park, Celtics were much better, winning six in a row. In four of those six matches, they won by three or more goals.
Considering the trend in the previous h2h games, Celtic's fantastic record at their pitch, and all the above, we expect a dominant win for the Celts.

Celtic team news
On January 27th, the club added Jota from Stade Rennais for 10 million euros. This is his second time at the club, as he spent one year between 2022 and 2023 but left to join Al Ittihad for 29.1 million euros.
The team should have almost the entire squad available. Only James Forrest, who is dealing with a long-term injury, should be out for the upcoming game.

Dundee team news
After a terrible 6:0 loss against Hearts, coach Tony Docherty spoke to the media. He said they conceded goals easily, and it had a big impact on their confidence. "I did not see that type of performance coming. You could see the confidence draining as the game went on. I was a bit surprised," the coach added.
Joseph Shaughnessy should be the only player out with an injury. The 32-year-old defender was out for almost the entire season, and his absence shouldn't be too big of a factor.
