Dundee FC Suffers Goalkeeper Injury Blow Ahead of Celtic Clash

Dundee FC’s preparations for their crucial match against Celtic have been dealt a significant setback with the injury of goalkeeper Trevor Carson. The 36-year-old, who started in the Dark Blues’ last two matches, including the encounter against Rangers, will miss the game at Celtic Park.

Injury Update

Dundee manager Tony Docherty confirmed the news, stating, “Trevor Carson’s another one added to that. Trevor’s out of the squad for tomorrow night. Trevor picked up a wee knock, so he’ll be out of contention.” Carson’s absence will be a significant blow to Dundee’s hopes of securing a positive result against the reigning Scottish Premiership champions.

Other Injury Concerns

Scott Fraser, who missed the match against St Johnstone due to a groin problem, remains sidelined. Docherty noted, “The game has come a wee bit too early for him.” Jordan McGhee, however, will return to the squad for the first time since his injury against Rangers last month.

McGhee’s Return

Docherty welcomed McGhee’s return, saying, “McGhee has trained this week, so he’ll come back into the squad for the match.” The defender’s presence will provide a boost to Dundee’s backline as they face the formidable Celtic attack.

Injury List

Dundee’s injury list includes:

1. Trevor Carson (goalkeeper) – out with a knock
2. Scott Fraser (midfielder) – out with a groin problem
3. Joe Shaughnessy (defender) – out with an unspecified injury
4. Charlie Reilly (midfielder) – out with an unspecified injury

Celtic Clash Preview

Dundee faces a daunting task against Celtic, who have been in impressive form this season. The Hoops have secured several convincing victories, including a 3-0 win over Motherwell. Celtic’s attacking prowess, led by players like Kyogo Furuhashi and Jota, will pose significant challenges for Dundee’s defense.

Dundee’s Task

To secure a positive result, Dundee must:

1. Shore up their defense in Carson’s absence
2. Contain Celtic’s attacking threats
3. Create scoring opportunities through counter-attacks

Conclusion

Dundee FC’s injury woes have dealt a significant blow to their chances against Celtic. With Carson’s absence, the Dark Blues will need to rely on their backup goalkeeper to fill the void. McGhee’s return provides some respite, but Dundee’s injury list remains a concern. As they face the reigning champions, Dundee must demonstrate resilience and strategic play to secure a positive outcome.
