The Scottish Premiership leaders have now revealed the clash with Tony Docherty's side is at risk with the club "unable to fully assess the extent of the damage" at this stage.

A final decision over the fixture will be taken on Saturday, January 25, morning just hours before the clash which is expected to kick off at 3pm.

A club statement read: "Unfortunately today's severe weather conditions have caused some damage at Celtic Park. Our stadium and safety staff are currently unable to fully assess the extent of the damage due to the ongoing extreme conditions.

"In light of this and in order that we communicate fully and openly with our fans, in the interests of supporter safety, we are unable to confirm at this stage whether the match tomorrow between Celtic and Dundee (Jan 25) will be able to proceed.

"Of course, we will be doing all we can to ensure that it does. A full assessment and decision will be made as early as possible tomorrow morning (Saturday) and we will update our supporters as soon as we can. We thank our supporters sincerely for their understanding."
