Dundee FC’s Home Form Tested Against Celtic’s Dominance

Dundee faces a tough challenge as they aim for consecutive home league wins against Celtic for the first time in several decades.

After their 2-0 win in October, Dundee could enjoy back-to-back home league wins over Celtic for the first time since March 1958.

Celtic’s Recent Record Against Dundee

Celtic have historically dominated their encounters with Dundee. Celtic have only lost one of their last 49 meetings with Dundee in all competitions (W41 D7), winning both of their most recent two this season in the league in December (1-0) and Scottish Cup in February (2-1).

Dundee’s Home Unbeaten Run

Dundee’s recent home form presents a contrast to their historical struggles against Celtic. Dundee are unbeaten in their last four home league games (W1 D3), but haven’t gone longer without losing at home within a single season in the Scottish Premiership since February 2017 (7).

Celtic’s Defensive Concerns

Celtic’s defence has been struggling to maintain clean sheets. Celtic have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last seven league matches, last going longer without a shutout in February 2006 under Gordon Strachan (10 games).

Goalkeeper Spotlight: Jon McCracken

Dundee’s goalkeeper, Jon McCracken, has been a standout performer this season. Dundee’s Jon McCracken has made 119 saves in the Scottish Premiership this season, the only goalkeeper on 100+.

  • McCracken has prevented 7.1 goals based on his expected goals on target faced (54.1 xGoT to 47 goals conceded, excl. own goals).
  • Only Calum Ward (10.3) and Jack Butland (7.5) have a higher xGoT prevented figure in the 2025-26 competition.

The upcoming match will test Dundee’s resolve against a Celtic side aiming to continue their winning streak in the league.
