Dundee United (H) Preview

Celtic v Dundee Utd
Bank of Scotland SPL
ko 1.00 pm

Dundee United are the first visitors to Parkhead in the SPL, tomorrow afternoon.

United have had little success at Celtic Park recently, but look a decent squad of players under the new management of former Falkirk boss Ian McCall. Having signed Falkirk's top two players, Owen Coyle and youngster Samuel, they should be a threat up-front - especially against Joos Valgaeren's non-existent pace.

Celtic need to win every game at Parkhead this season, if we want to bring back the SPL title to Parkhead. We also must keep scoring the goals, just incase goal difference settles the league once again.

John Hartson and Johan Mjallby are still recovering from injury, and will not play tomorrow. Chris Sutton is still suspended, so Shaun Maloney is likely to partner Henrik up-front. Maloney is due a good performance and hopefully, a goal or two.

I cannot see past Celtic winning tomorrow, hopefully Aberdeen can do us a favour and beat the huns at Pittodrie.

Celtic-Mad Prediction: Celtic 3-0 Dundee United
