Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Dundee United will be aiming to recover from a 4-3 loss to Motherwell when they face league leaders Celtic in the Premiership round 18. The Terrors aim to claim a major scalp and their fine home record is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Sunday’s encounter. The good news for the hosts is that forward Will Ferry returns to the starting XI after serving a one-game ban against the Well.
Meanwhile, the Hoops are brimming with confidence following a hard-fought win over Rangers in the League Cup final. Brendan Rodgers’ men are now on a quest to defend their Premiership trophy and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Even though Alistair Johnston should miss out with injury, we are tempted to put our money on Celtic as Dundee United suit them. In their last meeting at Tannadice Park the Hoops recorded a 2-0 win over the Terrors.
Highlighted Team (Celtic):
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.
