The Tannadice club head to Glasgow four points adrift at the foot of the table after 11 fixture rounds and take on a Celtic team who hit the summit last weekend but are looking to bounce back from a disappointing Europa League defeat in Molde.

Aberdeen have the chance to return to the top on Saturday when they face Motherwell at Pittodrie, as Mark McGhee returns to his former club. The Dons are aiming to end a run of three straight league defeats while Well have lost four out of five on their travels.

It's third against fourth at Tynecastle as Hearts entertain Ross County. Robbie Neilson's side have been beaten just once at home and County have lost only once away - a victory for Jim McIntyre's team would take them above the Edinburgh club.

Partick Thistle might be second from bottom but they appear to be on the up after ending a nine-match winless streak with back-to-back victories over Dundee United and St Johnstone. They welcome Hamilton Accies to Firhill, with Martin Canning's team sitting fifth in the table after last week's 1-1 draw against Dundee.

Inverness CT have the chance to move above St Johnstone when the teams meet at the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium. Both sides are just outside the top six but Saints have lost four out of five on the road - the exception was their stunning 5-1 win at Aberdeen.

Sixth-placed Dundee began the season in style with a 4-0 win over Kilmarnock at Rugby Park and the teams go head to head at Dens Park on Saturday, with Paul Hartley's side four points ahead of the men from Ayrshire.
