Celtic take on Dundee United on Wednesday evening as Brendan Rodgers looks to record a second Scottish Premiership victory of 2025 on home soil.
After starting the year with a disappointing defeat at Ibrox, the Bhoys comfortably defeated St Mirren 3-0 last Sunday to banish any post-derby frustration.
With Rangers drawing away to Hibernian in the early kick-off, Celtic have moved 13 points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership and have a chance to extend that margin by a further three against Dundee United.
Despite the Tangerines’ recent run of form, Jim Goodwin’s outfit lost out to Heart of Midlothian last weekend. They remained static in the race for third position amid Aberdeen’s loss at Motherwell.
Nevertheless, Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is aware his side have to be at their best to see off their opponents following a goalless draw between the pair at Tannadice before Christmas.

Celtic team & injury news
Celtic have no fresh injury concerns other than James Forrest’s absence to contend with as they prepare to take on Dundee United.
Auston Trusty may have earned another shot alongside Cameron Carter-Vickers in central defence. At the same time, it will be interesting to see if Greg Taylor continues or if Alex Valle comes in at left-back.
Reo Hatate may be a contender to return in midfield after spending last Sunday’s victory over St Mirren on the bench. Kyogo Furuhashi could also lead the line in place of Adam Idah.
