Our prediction for this Scottish Cup match:
A place in the Scottish Cup semi-finals will be at stake when Dundee United and Celtic face each other at Tannadice Park on Monday. The Terrors failed to win the previous four games in all competitions, with the team setting up a meeting with Celtic with a hard-fought triumph over lower-league side Partick. Defender Ryan Edwards, who limped off with injury in a 2-2 draw with Hearts, is unlikely to feature against Celtic, while Dylan Levitt is a major doubt.
The Hoops, on the other hand, are on the right track to regain the Premiership trophy, but they have big ambitions for the Scottish Cup final stages as well. Celtic have already suffered elimination in the Conference League playoffs, and seeing that tired legs will not prove to be a big problem for the capital club this time out, away win should be considered. All Michael Johnston, Kyogo Furuhashi, and David Turnbull should miss out with injuries for the visiting team.

The Celtic Football Club boasts a proud over 100-year long history which has made The Bhoys a global brand thanks to their unprecedented social awareness that dates to the very beginnings of this Scottish club. Celtic was founded in 1887 with the purpose of alleviating poverty in the immigrant Irish population in the East End of Glasgow by raising money to help their fellow citizens.
The charity legacy continues to this day with Celtic still preserving their charitable traditions through the Celtic FC Foundation. The Celts play their home matches at Celtic Park in front of 60,000 people. One of the two most successful football clubs in Scotland with 47 Scottish League Championship titles to their name, Celtic have a long-standing fierce rivalry with Rangers, with the clubs known as the Old Firm.
European Cup winners from season 1966-67 and runners-up two years later, Celtic have been regular in European competitions since their first appearance in 1962-63. Their other most standout results have been runners-up in the EUFA Cup in 2003 and Intercontinental Cup in 1967.
