Celtic begin title defence against Dundee FC at Celtic Park
Celtic begin their Premiership title defence on Monday, 3 August 2026, when they host Dundee FC at Celtic Park. The opening matchday fixture marks the start of a new campaign, with both sides looking to make an early statement.
Title defence begins at home
The pressure is on Celtic to start their title defence with a win on home turf. The club's fans are anticipating a strong start to the season, and any slip-up in the opener could set an unwelcome tone. The high-profile nature of the fixture, being shown live on Sky Sports, adds to the occasion and the expectation for Celtic to perform.
Dundee's recent success at Celtic Park
Dundee FC will arrive at Celtic Park with a degree of confidence, drawing on a recent head-to-head victory at the same venue. This past success provides a tangible boost for the visitors as they look to cause an upset against the reigning champions. It offers a psychological edge that could prove significant in a one-off fixture.
Team news and expected lineups
Celtic are expected to field a strong side as they look to secure three points. However, they will be without Benjamin Nygren due to injury and Liam Scales, who is suspended. The predicted lineup for Celtic includes Sebastian Tounekti and Camilo Duran in attack, supported by midfielders Arne Engels, Luke McCowan, and Callum McGregor, with James Forrest also in contention. The defence is expected to be marshalled by Cameron Carter-Vickers and Kieran Tierney.
Dundee FC's expected XI sees Simon Murray and Joe Bevan leading the line, with midfield support from Zan Besir, Ethan Hamilton, and Ryan Finnigan. Drey Wright is also expected to feature in an attacking role. The defensive unit is likely to be anchored by Bradley Halliday and Ryan Astley, with Kieran O'Hara in goal.

Celtic's pre-season results have been mixed, with draws against AC Milan and Middlesbrough, alongside a heavy defeat to Sporting CP. Their last competitive outing was a 2-2 draw with AC Milan on 25 July. Prior to that, their focus was on concluding the previous league campaign, which saw them secure the title.
Dundee FC have been active in the League Cup group stage, securing a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Clyde in their most recent match on 25 July. They also experienced a significant defeat against Everton in a friendly. Their last league fixture saw them win 3-2 against Aberdeen in the Relegation Group on 17 May.
Head-to-head history
