INJURY AND SUSPENSION DECIMATE SQUAD

Martin O'neill, once again, faces major selection problems for the game against Dundee Utd at Celtic Park tomorrow. Joos Valgaren and Chris Sutton are out with Injuries and John Hartson Bobo Balde and Alan Thompson are all suspended.

Given the above it looks highly likely that Stephen Crainey will retain his place in the side and there may also be room for youngsters Smith and Maloney as well.

Games against Dundee Utd have been a bit one sided in recent years but given all of O'Neill's selection difficulties there could be a chance for Utd to do something away from home.

With Celtic homing in on the title, though, O'neill will have his men well fired up and the chances of a slip - up, after last weeks fine draw at Ibrox, look pretty slim.

Last week I called it right in going for the draw and this week I will really stivk my neck out and say that Finbar's fearless forecast is for a 4-0 home win.
