Hampden Park, Sunday, 12.45pm
CELTIC owe their fans a huge Hampden display after handing the League Cup to St Mirren last time out.
Neil Lennon's hopes of the Treble fizzled out as the Buddies triumphed – but the Double is within touching distance.
Celtic are on the verge of lifting the title and should reach the Scottish Cup Final at the expense of Dundee Utd tomorrow.
The Hoops have to beat a slight Hampden hoodoo but surely the players will turn up this time.
And if they do it's bad news for a United side who have conceded 12 goals in three meetings with the champions-elect this season.
The last two games have been 6-2 and 4-0 in Celtic's favour – the former coming just after Jackie McNamara took charge.
Hopefully there will be goals here and it would be great if the tie matched the drama if Saturday's semi-final that saw Hibs recover from 3-0 down to beat Falkirk 4-3 after extra time. Over 3.5 goals pays 7-5 at sportingbet.
Celtic warmed up with a 3-0 win against Hibs last week and I'll be on them at a best 4-9 with William Hill and others.
On-form Hoops hitman Kris Commons is 11-2 at William Hill and bet365 to score first but check he's starting because he's a slight injury doubt.
.
United go into the tie lifted by their last-minute scramble into the SPL top spot – but with the players they have it shouldn't have needed a last-minute goal against Aberdeen to make it.
Jackie Mac's side have struggled to score in the absence of leading marksman Johnny Russell but they Gary Mackay-Steven will pose a threat although skipper Jon Daly is likely to be playing at the back.

TIPS FOR CELTIC GAME
Joe Ledley First Goalscorer 12/1 @ various
Joe Ledley to score anytime 5/1 @ Coral
no mulgrew this time chris haha
Eddy still thinking about Mulgrew as always. If he is playing in midfield I will back him too for first goal @ 16/1 but if he is playing in defence I’m not touching him. I will wait to see the team news.
Bit worried about backing Ledley, i think he has gone off the boil with regards to scoring goals
well done mr f. commons 1st goal.
Alex, thanks. Nice to get up early.
30 mins gone and all ur recommendations have stoated. Great start to a Sunday for me cheers mr f
7/5, 11/2 + 11/2 up in half an hour. Doesnt get much better than that Paul!!!
Good tipping Mr Fixit, well done!!!
James, I was happy with the Celtic tips, including a 5-1 and 11-2, pleased with the Super Single (Man Utd to win to nil) and disappointed by the treble. Again some good tips on the site today including UHT’s Nice, Danny’s McBreen and Milesey’s Cagliari to beat Inter. This is what the site’s all about and collectively we can beat the bookies.
Great tips today Paul with some fantastic prices :)
Punters took advantage of some specials at Hampden today including Daly and Mackay-Steven to score at 25/1 and Daly to score two or more and same with Commons all highlighted inside the stadium.
Owen, what’s this I hear about your 3-3 draws?
