Dundee United vs Celtic

, KO: 12:30 , Tannadice
Celtic

Celtic have the chance to launch a title party on Tayside when they face Dundee United on Saturday lunchtime.

The Hoops have known for many months the title would be retained and they are 15 points ahead of Rangers with five games left with a vastly superior goal difference so this is really just a case of making it official.

They will still be backed by a huge support at Tannadice and go into this game full of confidence after their second one-sided semi-final of the season at the weekend.

They beat Aberdeen 6-0 in the League Cup and St Johnstone 5-0 at Hampden in the Scottish Cup and look like they have got their swagger back after manager Brendan Rdgers called his players out for coasting following a shock defeat at St Johnstone in the league.

They've scored ten goals in their last two games, but they should at least encounter some resistance by a Dundee United side who have plenty of play for.

They are bang in the hunt for third place and went into the split with three 1-0 wins in a row so confidence should not be a problem for Jim Goodwin's side.

How the bookies view it: Celtic to tear it up at Tannadice?

Celtic will be the bedrock of accas with an early kick off and are 2/7 with Boylesports. Dundee United can be backed at 15/2 and the draw is 4/1 with the same firm.

Recent head to heads: United's horror show against the Hoops

You have to go back 11 years for United's last win against Celtic and since then they have played them 22 times without success.

They did get a goalless draw against them at Tannadice earlier this season though, but they have scored just once against them in the last six games.

Players to watch: Adam to drink to success?

United's top scorer and big threat all season has been Sam Dalby and the on loan Wrexham hitman is x/x to score anytime with Boylesports.

Aam Idah was caught being the worse for wear on a night out but shrugged it off to score for Celtic at Hampden at the weekend. The Ireland international is x/x to score anytime this week.

Predicted line-ups:

Dundee United have a clean bill of health.

Celtic are likely to be without injured keeper Kasper Schmeichel and South Korean star Yang Hyun-jun.

Dundee United: Walton, Adegboyega, Gallagher, Cleall-Harding, Strain, Ferry, Campbell, Docherty, Stephenson, Moult, Dalby.

Celtic: Sinisalo, Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Taylor, Engels, McGregor, Hatate, Kuhn, Idah, Maeda.

Anything else catch the eye here?

Dundee United could prove stuffy opponents here and it might pay to back the Hoops to edge this in a low-scoring encounter.

The hosts are the second best outside the Old Firm when it comes to conceding goals at home and Celtic have already gone to Tannadice and struggled. The hosts have also kept three clean sheets in a row.

Back a Celtic win and under 2.5 goals here at an attractive 10/3 with Boylesports.

Of course there's always the danger that Celtic click and have a field day which they are always capable of doing, but backing the hosts at 20/21 with a two-goal start on the handicaps with Boylesports could be a decent call.

Finally, no player in the Premiership likes a card more than United's Will Ferry. He will be a busy man again here so back him to see yellow at a big 59/20 with 10Bet.
