Celtic expected XI v Dundee: Fringe player starts as mainstay is axed

GOALKEEPER AND DEFENDERS

Celtic

Craig Gordon (Goalkeeper) – Hasn’t covered himself in glory recently but still expected to be the Hoops number one for the foreseeable future unless a new goalkeeper in signed in January

Mikael Lustig (Right-back) – Back to something like his best against Aberdeen after some poor performances, the winter break will do him good

Kristoffer Ajer (Centre-back) – Perhaps looks Celtic’s best defender already even though he is only 19-years-old, could be a mainstay of the side for years to come

Dedryck Boyata (Centre-back) – Struggling with form at the moment but still likely to edge out Jozo Simuovic in the team, as his form is even worse than Boyata’s

Kieran Tierney (Left-back) – After a poor performance against Hearts he has looked back to his best against Partick and Aberdeen, another who will be glad about the winter break
