Celtic face a nervy and tricky trip to Tannadice as Wilfried Nancy searches for his first win as the new manager.

Celtic defeats to St Mirren in the Premier Sports Cup final, Hearts in the Scottish Premiership and then Roma in the Europa League have left Nancy on a tightrope ahead of the big game in Tayside.

The Celtic boss is under intense pressure as fans start to question Nancy’s methods, tactics and even his comments in the press conferences.

However, tonight at Tannadice, the Frenchman has the opportunity to change the tide of opinion with a big Celtic win against Dundee United.

And here, 67 Hail Hail delivers the Celtic predicted XI that we think Nancy should go with to ensure all three points head back to Glasgow.

Kasper Schmeichel drops out as Wilfried Nancy calls on Celtic youth and experience vs Dundee United

The first casualty from Celtic’s defeat to St Mirren is Kasper Schmeichel. The big Dane has been a great servant but some high-profile errors are making his position as Celtic’s number one shaky.

Schmeichel’s part in St Mirren’s second goal cannot be ignored and coupled with other mistakes he has made, it’s time for Viljami Sinisalo to be given his chance.

With Sebastian Tounekti now on AFCON duty with Tunisia, Celtic are lacking attacking options, especially with Kelechi Iheanacho out injured.

And to offer balance on the left-hand side, Luke McCowan gets the nod in midfield to allow Kieran Tierney to support Daizen Maeda in the attack.

Celtic predicted XI to face Dundee United

So here is 67 Hail Hail’s complete predicted XI and the team we hope Nancy goes with to get his first win as Celtic manager.

McGregor and Hatate will still marshal the centre of midfield with the pace of Johnny Kenny being added to the attacking front three alongside the experience of James Forrest.

The mixture of experience and youth should hopefully, get the win over the line to take the pressure off Nancy at Celtic and allow him some breathing space.
