The penultimate matchday of the Scottish Premiership kicks off this week and will see Dundee United host Celtic at Tannadice Park on Wednesday night.
Dundee United have struggled for results of late and now have their European ambitions in peril. They were beaten 2-0 by defending champions Rangers in their last outing and were comfortably brushed aside by the league giants as they struggled to gain any foothold in the game.
The home side sit fourth in the table with 44 points from 36 games. They will be looking to return to winning ways this weekend as they fight for the final European spot.
Celtic have had a brilliant campaign and are now closing in on a 52nd league title. They beat Heart of Midlothian 4-1 in their last game, shaking off an early concession to turn around the scoreline and stroll to victory.
The Celts have picked up 89 points from 36 games this season and sit atop the table. They can wrap up their title charge with just a point on Wednesday.
