Celtic hosts Dundee today in a Scottish Premiership clash, with a rich history favoring the home side on opening days. Celtic boasts an unbeaten record in seven previous league season openers against Dundee, securing four wins and three draws, and have won their last three such encounters.

In general, Celtic has a formidable record at home on MD1, winning 23 of their last 24 league season openers, with the sole exception being a 0-0 draw against Kilmarnock in 2007-08. Their dominance extends to recent seasons, having won MD1 for the last 14 consecutive seasons by an aggregate score of 43-7.

Dundee, conversely, has struggled on their opening matches in recent Scottish Premiership campaigns, failing to win their last six (three draws, three losses) since a 2016 victory. Furthermore, Dundee has a dismal away record at Celtic, having lost 23 of their last 25 away games in all competitions since a win in May 2001.
