Dundee threaten to counter until Mark O'Hara is cynically brought down on halfway by Nir Bitton.

The Celtic midfielder receives a yellow card.

Dundee have plenty of attacking personnel on the pitch but without they ball they are not much use.

Time running out for the home side.

It will not be a record seventh goal in seven games for Scott Sinclair. He departs the scene to be replaced by Stuart Armstrong.

For all their dominance Celtic have been unable to kill off Dundee. The home faithful are hoping their side fashion just one chance to snatch something from this match.

Rory Loy replaces Danny Williams as Paul Hartley makes his last switch.

Nick Ross comes off the bench to help Dundee try to rescue something here, replacing Nicky Low.

Celtic utterly dominating the ball now as Dundee struggle to break out of their own half. However, Paul Hartley will be thrilled with his side's defensive organisation and concentration. They have made it extremely difficult for the champions to break them down.

Patrick Roberts replaces James Forrest for Celtic.

Leigh Griffiths will be keen to make an impact having found himself behind Moussa Dembele in the pecking order of Celtic strikers.

He produces a clever nutmeg and drives into the Dundee box but drives his shot into the side-netting.

Former Aberdeen defender Willie Miller: "Still showing a good appetite Dundee. They haven't given up. They'll be hoping they can create a chance, maybe two chances."

Scott Sinclair has scored in his first six league games as a Celtic player but he's yet to find the net today.

He tries his luck from 20 yards but Scott Bain gathers easily. The Dundee keeper has been excellent so far.

Erik Sviatchenko is booked for a crude tackle from behind on Yordi Teijsse.

Leigh Griffiths enters the fray for Celtic in place of Tom Rogic.

Dundee introduce Craig Wighton for Faissal El Bakhtaoui.

Celtic so close to making it 2-0.

James Forrest does well to engineer a yard of space to clip a cross into the box. Scott Sinclair can't control but Moussa Dembele reacts and first an effort into the ground that bounces just over the top. 

Good response this from Dundee. Mark O'Hara is looking to take on Kieran Tierney at every opportunity down the Dundee right. He's not had much change out of the young full-back so far, but the home side are certainly not going down without a fight.

Tom Rogic glides away from several Dundee challenges and shoots from the edge of the box but his effort lacks power and Scott Bain easily smothers it.

A Dundee corner briefly causes panic in the Celtic box but Faissal El Bakhtaoui's eventual shot is well off-target.

Former Aberdeen defender Willie Miller on Scott Brown: "It's the captain taking responsibility, isn't it? He's back defending just before that. Great goal from him."

Paul Hartley will be annoyed his side's defensive effort slipped so early in the second-half but the opening goal is no less than Celtic deserve for their dominance in this match.

It's no more than Scott Brown deserves too. The captain has carried on from his excellent display against Manchester City with another impressive showing here.
