Match preview

430 days ago, Celtic drew 0-0 at Tannadice, a result that ended hopes of ten-in-a-row and crowned Rangers champions of Scotland.
Now, after quite the turnaround under Ange Postecoglou, it’ll be Celtic fans having a title part as the Hoops return to the city of discovery.
One of Celtic’s most noteworthy games of this season also featured Dundee United, the day all fans truly believed the title was possible
Specifically, this would be a 1-0 victory at Parkhead in January, in which Liel Abada smashed home the winner deep into stoppage time.
Overall, the Bhoys are now unbeaten in 30 Scottish Premiership games, following Saturday’s 4-1 victory over Hearts.
They actually went a goal down early, but goals from Daizen Maeda, Kyōgo Furuhashi, Matt O’Riley and Georgios Giakoumakis secured the turnaround.
So, with just two games to go, Celtic are six points clear of Rangers, boasting a vastly superior goal difference, needing a point to mathematically regain the trophy.
Dundee United meanwhile need points as they bid to return to UEFA competition for the first time since 2012.
The Tangerines took a big step towards this 11 days ago, beating Motherwell 1-0, before being slightly derailed by Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at Rangers.
Nevertheless, Tam Courts’ men remain fourth and visit Ross County, the side hunting them down, on the final day.
Celtic have won 3-0 at Tannadice twice this season, including March’s Scottish Cup quarter-final, so will this one provide a similar outcome?

Celtic cult hero Tony Watt has only scored once for Dundee United since making the big-money move in January.
Ironically, that goal came agains the side he’d just left, Motherwell, but he’ll continue up front against another former employer here.
Mathew Anim Cudjoe was given a rare start at Ibrox on Sunday, but Nicky Clark or Marc McNulty are more likely to partner Watt here.
Charlie Mulgrew made 208 appearance for Celtic, winning eight trophies, but will be leading the United defence here.
Benjamin Siegrist has been excellent in goal for the Tangerines, but did make a rare mistake when these two met two months ago.

Georgios Giakoumakis’ goal on Saturday means he’s now scored 13 times in 2022, including a brace at Tannadice in March.
However, Kyōgo Furuhashi, Daizen Maeda and Jota appear to be Ange Postecoglou’s first-choice attacking trio just now.
So, the Greek striker and Liel Abada, who scored that memorable goal against United in January, may remain on the bench.
David Turnbull started for the first time since the League Cup Final on Saturday, alongside Matt O’Riley as the ‘free eights’ in midfield.
Reo Hatate and Tom Rogic are alternatives in that position; the latter won SPFL goal of the season for his effort in this fixture in December.
With Josip Juranović still out, Tony Ralston will continue at right-back.
Carl Starfelt and Cameron Carter-Vickers are looking to preserve their record of having never lost a Premiership game when starting together.
