Tom Rogic will be monitored ahead of Celtic's rearranged Premiership game with Dundee on Tuesday night.

The Australia midfielder had to be substituted with a head knock in the 3-1 win over Hearts on Saturday.

Charlie Mulgrew (groin) and Stuart Armstrong (chest infection) are back in contention for the fixture which fell victim to a waterlogged pitch when it was originally scheduled in December.

Celtic boss Ronny Deila was pleased with his side's efforts against Hearts and wants to see more of the same at Dens Park.

He told the Evening Times: "I was delighted with the performance and the result against Hearts. Yes, there are aspects that I think we can still improve on and get better but it was a good afternoon. Now we want to do the same against Dundee.

"The two last games have been fantastic and I think it has given us a big lift. We are Celtic, we are together and we are going to fight for the trophies.

"When you have that positive atmosphere in the stadium, it comes onto the pitch. It helps the players, it lifts the game. It has been good. Hopefully now there are more days like that to come."

Paul Hartley's Dundee come into the game in good heart having clambered into the top six on the back of a fine 5-2 win over Ross County at the weekend.

Hartley said: "This game is one we're looking forward to. We know it's a big game and what we've done with this win is given ourselves a chance of making the top six.

"This should give us some momentum. County are a good side and Celtic will obviously be a different kind of game. As ever, we will look to attack. We won't be sitting back as it's not our style. We'll have a go against Celtic."

Celtic can restore their seven-point advantage over Aberdeen, with six matches remaining, if they prevail on Tayside.
