Celtic's Mission to Tannadice

Celtic find themselves suffering within a disastrous introduction to Wilfried Nancy's tenure, with the Glasgow colossus having endured the humiliation of losing every one of their opening three matches under their new manager. The devastating 3-1 loss to St Mirren in the Scottish League Cup final epitomised a nadir that few connected with such a club could have foreseen.

The Frenchman enters the first manager in the Bhoys' decorated history to lose his initial three games in command, and one senses an urgent desire to halt this concerning decline.

Still, encouragement may be extracted from the Tangerines' persistent tribulations. The home club have proved incapable to claim victory in any of their last seven fixtures, and for all Celtic's current turmoil, the away side still command greater talent. We are backing the Parkhead institution to claim a much-needed triumph.
