00:00Martin Simpson here, Sports Editor at the Edinburgh Evening News and Glasgow World, joined by my colleague Ali Gordon.

00:05We're going to be looking ahead to this weekend's Scottish Premiership matches after the latest international break.

00:12Let's go kicking off in reverse order from what will be the last game of the weekend, Ali.

00:16That's Celtic's trip to Dundee.

00:20Celtic obviously already going into that as heavy favourites, you would expect, given Dundee's form this season as well.

00:25And then we've had the news today that Dundee could potentially be without starman Simon Murray and also first-choice goalkeeper John McCracken.

00:36So if you weren't already predicting a Celtic win in this one, I don't know.

00:39Does that just reaffirm what you were already thinking?

00:43I think 100%, yeah. Any chances they would have had would have been completely on Murray.

00:48He's the X Factor. He's a starman with McCracken as well.

00:52He's popped up with a few good saves in big games like that before.

00:55So it's going to be surely a relatively easy Celtic win, you would assume, especially after hearing that.

01:03This is probably the worst one. I was going to say the worst possible game for them.

01:06Second, maybe, to actually go into Parkhead or potentially go into Tynecastle, to be honest.

01:11But yeah, I mean, if Dundee are to get anything out of this one, I mean, how can you see it?

01:17What are they going to need to do?

01:19Well, as I said, without Murray, they'll struggle.

01:22But I mean, they've got to look back to their Ibrox performance.

01:25I know that they could maybe take a wee bit of confidence from that.

01:29But I think Celtic playing at Denz, it's going to be a different sort of different atmosphere.

01:36And I can't see anything.

01:38If they were to maybe get one on the counter, Celtic aren't.

01:42Even though they've nailed a result against Motherwell recently, they're not firing on all cylinders either.

01:47So they could try and take advantage of that in some way and unrest in the crowd, etc.

01:52But I just can't see it happening.
