Celtic has released a fresh batch of training photos ahead of their crucial SPFL clash against Dundee on Wednesday night. The Hoops are set to play under the lights at Celtic Park, knowing that a victory is essential to keep them perched at the top of the league table. Currently leading on goal difference alone, with Aberdeen right on their tail, the pressure is on for Brendan Rodgers’ side to secure all three points.
The training snaps offer a look at a squad gearing up for a significant week, with smiles and focus shared in equal measure among the players. After making a successful cameo appearance in the weekend’s win against Motherwell, CCV shared a laugh with Alistair Johnston, indicating he came through the match unscathed. Carter-Vickers’ presence at the back could be crucial as Celtic look to maintain their defensive solidity going into this key set of fixtures.
Meanwhile, midfielder Reo Hatate appeared to be feeling the early Scottish winter chill, donning a snood and hat to keep the cold at bay. For the Japanese star, it’s just the beginning—Celtic Park will only get colder as the season progresses.

Brendan Rodgers was all business in the training photos, exuding the kind of focus the Hoops boss will need in what is shaping up to be a decisive week. After Dundee, Celtic faces Aberdeen in the League Cup semi-final before they turn their attention to a massive Champions League clash against RB Leipzig at home. Rodgers’ men will need to balance their energy and resources to meet the demands of three huge fixtures across league and cup competitions.
