Denout ofDens forCelts

CELTIC are no longer the Invincible­s but at Dens Park they’re unstoppabl­e.

Hearts stopped the Hoops’ unbeaten run at 69 and they’ve bounced back with victories against Partick and Aberdeen.

At Dens their record is phenomenal – 16 wins and four draws in 20 outings going back 20 years.

Dundee will take hope from beating Rangers last month but since then their only victory was away to Ross County.

The 4-0 Hearts defeat looks like a blip for Brendan Rodgers’s men who have recovered well and should win this but a best price of 1-4 lacks value.

Celtic won 4-0 at Dens in the Betfred Cup but most of the recent league meetings have been close. A win to nil could be the best at 1-1 with William Hill.

If you fancy Dundee to do a Hearts they are 14-1 at Ladbrokes while a draw pays 6-1 at McBookie.

Both teams to score pays evens with Betfred while over 2.5 match goals is 1-2 at McBookie.

Rodgers has been rotating his strikers and could give a start to ex-Dundee man Leigh Griffiths who is 11-4 at bet365 to score first.

There is a Championsh­p game today with Dumbarton facing Livingston. The sides are evenly matched on form with Livi taking one point from nine and the Sons’ only success in five being a shock one at St Mirren.

A draw here at 5-2 with Marathonbe­t is the call.
