James McCarthy is likely to face a wait before making his Celtic debut.

The Republic of Ireland midfielder will only have one day’s training with the bulk of his team-mates ahead of Sunday’s cinch Premiership clash with Dundee and has been working on his own during pre-season.

Dundee are without the suspended Max Anderson following his red card against St Mirren.

Danny Mullen will drop out with an ankle injury and Cammy Kerr is still out with a knee problem.

Christie Elliott is fit after going off against St Mirren, while Liam Fontaine, Alex Jakubiak and Shaun Byrne could all return.
