Dundee boss kept up at night mulling over Celtic and Rangers team selections

Getting his team selections right for Dundee’s Old Firm double header has given manager Paul Hartley sleepless nights.

The Dens Park boss is set to mix and match his squad for the league encounter with Celtic tonight and the Scottish Cup quarter-final with Rangers on Saturday.

Darren O’Dea and Thomas Konrad are ruled out this evening through injury, while Hartley is also set to change his side up front, with Craig Wighton in line for his first start of the season.

Hartley said: “It’s an important game and we’re on a good run. So we’re caught in between things a bit.

“But we have to look at the squad as a whole and try and pick the best team for Wednesday night and the best team for Saturday.

“Since we beat Dumbarton it’s been a case of how do we approach our team selection and systems?

“It’s sort of kept me up every night. What do I do? What’s best for the team and the players?

“It’s definitely a test for myself and how I manage the squad.”
