History of the Glasgow Celtic v Dundee United fixture

Celtic prepare to entertain Dundee United at Celtic Park on Saturday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Bhoys are clearly on top, having won 48 and lost only 8 of the 76 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Celtic Park was less than a year ago, in May 2004, the The Bhoys carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Scottish Premier match.
