Celtic have won eight and drawn two of their last 10 meetings with the Tayside outfit, their last defeat coming back in December 2014.

Dundee United did, however, draw 1-1 with the Parkhead giants earlier this season and Thomas Courts’ men ended their six-game losing streak when they came from behind to beat Ross County 2-1 at Tannadice in midweek.

Former Rangers striker Nicky Clark netted twice, including an injury-time penalty to seal United’s first top-flight win since mid-November.

Kyogo Furuhashi and David Turnbull are still nursing hamstring problems, but January signing Matt O’Riley impressed on his debut in midweek and is in contention to start again in midfield.

Jota also returned to the side, while centre-back Christopher Jullien has been named among the substitutes for the last two matches and could be close to making his first appearance since December 2020.

Dundee United boss Thomas Courts is expected to recall Nicky Clark to his starting line-up after his brace in midweek, with Peter Pawlett likely to drop to the bench after limping off injured against Ross County.

Experienced defender Charlie Mulgrew misses out through injury, which will likely see Callum Butcher fill in at centre-back.
