Celtic
Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 3-1
Dundee United
Celtic will be aiming to stay in the title race when they host Dundee United to their Celtic Park on Sawturday. The Hoops are on a four-game winning run in all competitions, with the team beating Hearts 2-1 in a midweek clash. In Furuhashi’s absence, Greece international Georgios Giakoumakis is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts. You should bear in mind that Celtic are on a four-match winning run in front of home fans.
The Terrors, on the other hand, have been struggling on the travels of late, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last four away fixtures. Dundee United face an uphill task on Matchday 24, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling the Hoops’ party at Celtic Park. Nicholas Clark should return to Dundee Utd’s starting XI after scoring a brace in a 2-1 win over Ross County.
