Celtic legend set for stadium return produced score line prediction for Scottish Cup clash

The Bhoys host Derek McInnes’ side on Saturday at 5.30pm, with the former Hoops boss returning to his old stomping ground as a pundit.

The game will be shown live on Premier Sports, and O’Neill will provide analysis in the studio alongside Alan Hutton. Emma Dodds is on hosting duties as Rory Hamilton and Michael Stewart take to the gantry for commentary.

Brendan Rodgers side will be hoping to bounce back against Killie after they salvaged a point in Dundee on Tuesday evening.

The Bhoys looked all but beaten at Dens Park until Arne Engels’ stoppage time equaliser sent them back to Glasgow with a point intact.

Elsewhere in the Scottish Cup this weekend, Falkirk take on Raith Rovers on Sunday at midday. The Championship clash is also live on Premier Sports, with Marvin Bartley and Stewart on punditry duties.

The small matter of a Dundee derby then awaits on Monday night as Jim Goodwin takes his United team across the road for the second time in a few weeks.

Ex-St. Johnstone boss and current Queen’s Park gaffer Callum Davidson will be on punditry duties alongside Charlie Mulgrew and Hutton. Earlier he predicted 2.1 win for Celtic fc but insisted to back his prediction with reasons due to his role in Celtic park.

The derby promises drama as the City of Discovery’s big two lock horns in the final game of the fourth-round.

How Dundee players teased and FINED Aaron Donnelly over Celtic goal celebration

The young defender has come under fire online for his muted reaction to his first Dark Blues goal.

Aaron Donnelly has taken a hammering from some sections of social media for his non-celebration after scoring against Celtic on Tuesday.

However, the young defender has taken no notice of it.

Instead he’s been having to defend himself from a hammering inside his own dressing-room as team-mates wasted no time in taking the mickey out of the Northern Ireland international.

And there was a fine to pay into the squad kitty to boot.

Donnelly headed in his first goal for Dundee with 78 minutes on the clock to put his side in front against the hoops

 

Rather than run off with hand in the air or try a knee slide, the youngster followed Luke McCowan’s lead with a muted celebration.

In doing so he kicked off a real stir on social media and among Sky Sports pundits at the game.

‘The boys are hammering him’

Dens boss Tony Docherty, though, says all that hasn’t affected his young player.

“No, honestly, if anything, he’s been absolutely battered by his teammates!” Docherty laughed.

And fined by his team-mates, too.

“Simon [Murray] couldn’t wait to get in and give him a bit.

“When I watch it back as well I do think there is an element of him not knowing what to do when he scores his first goal.

But the boys are hammering him, which is great.

“There’s nothing in it, absolutely nothing in it, you couldn’t look at it in a negative way or anything like that.

“He’s a young kid, he’s come on and what a baptism.

“Aaron has come up and in his first two games he plays really well in a 1-1 against Rangers and then plays really well and scores what we thought was going to be the winner against Celtic.

“He’s getting a ribbing from his mates, and quite rightly so.”
