History of the Celtic v Dundee United fixture

Celtic prepare to entertain Dundee United at Celtic Park on Tuesday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Bhoys are clearly on top, having won 50 and lost only 8 of the 79 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Celtic Park was less than a year ago, in January 2006, when they fought out a thrilling high-scoring 3-3 draw in a Scottish Premier match.
