Third-choice keeper Logan Bailly will be on the bench when Scottish champions-elect Celtic visit Dundee on Sunday, live on Sky Sports 2 HD from 12pm.

The Belgian is yet to feature for the Hoops this season but, with Dorus de Vries possibly ruled out for the remainder of the campaign, may finally get his opportunity over the closing weeks.

Hartley admitted: "We knew straight away it was a bad injury and we'll have to do without him until September, October time."

Other than the 26-year-old Spaniard, the hosts have no other injury concerns.

Celtic will not be able to clinch their sixth consecutive title on Sunday - Aberdeen's 2-0 victory over Hearts on Saturday means they will have to wait at least a fortnight.
