‘We will go after Celts’ insists Glen

DUNDEE won’t be on the pitch just making up the numbers when all-conquering Celtic visit Dens Park tomorrow night.

Brendan Rodgers’ side haven’t lost a domestic fixture since St Johnstone beat them 2-1 on Wednesday, May 11, 2016, in a Premiership clash — some 55 games ago.

That makes them overwhelming favourites for the Betfred quarterfinal clash against the Dark Blues.

However, while he doesn’t underestimate the task that lies ahead, midfielder Glen Kamara insists Dundee won’t be lambs to the slaughter.

He said: “I’m looking forward to playing against Celtic, even more so after we got a much-needed home victory against St Johnstone.

“It will be a great atmosphere and our supporters will get right behind us. Being underdogs will suit us.

“We will go after them. It’s a good chance for us to put on a good display in front of a big audience.”

Since moving north, most players he comes up against are unfamiliar to the Finland U/19 and U/21 cap but Kamara revealed he’ll be renewing old rivalries when the Hoops step on to the pitch.

“When I was i n the Arsenal Academy team, I came up against Olivier Ntcham when he was with Manchester City.

“We had some good battles in the middle of the park.

“He and I are about the same height, so there were some well-contested tussles.

“Now he’s at Celtic and I’m hoping to come up against him again tomorrow.”

Kamara has made a big impression for the Dark Blues since putting pen to paper in the summer.

Born in Tampere, Finland, the 21-year-old was part of Arsenal’s academy system for five years.

He had loan spells at Southend United and Colchester United in England’s l ower leagues before crossing the border for a trial with the Dens men.

Boss Neil McCann was sufficiently impressed to make an offer and
