It’s do or die for Wilfried Nancy as he takes his Celtic team to Tannadice to face Dundee United tonight.

The Celtic manager is under intense pressure after the Hoops’ defeat to St Mirren in the Premier Sports Cup made it three defeats out of three for Nancy.

The Frenchman’s style of play and system is clearly causing problems at Celtic but it seems that Nancy will simply not budge from his philosophy.

With Dundee United sitting in 8th place in the Scottish Premiership table and without a win since October, now is the time for Nancy to get that long-awaited and elusive Celtic win at Tannadice.

But can he do it? 67 Hail Hail writers Paddy Sinat, Callum Boyle, Amir Mir and Martin Crawford deliver their verdicts ahead of Celtic’s big game tonight.

Paddy Sinat

Every prediction I’ve made about Nancy getting a result has been wrong so I need to get it right sometime, right?

Celtic’s defence is shaky so clean sheet is unlikely, however, Dundee United haven’t won since October so you have to believe Nancy will get it right here.

Prediction: Dundee United 1 v 2 Celtic

Callum Boyle

It really feels like win or bust for Wilfried Nancy tonight. This is a unique circumstance Celtic find themselves in and one they need to get out of quickly.

Sum up Wilfried Nancy’s media handling in one word…

Thankfully, Dundee United are also in poor form at the moment and I do think this crop of players is good enough to win.

Prediction: Dundee Utd 0-2 Celtic

Amir Mir

Let’s stay positive. Some good moments, some bad moments. Either way, three points for Nancy. Scales and McGregor the scorers.

Prediction: Dundee United 1 v 2 Celtic

Martin Crawford

If I keep predicting Nancy to get his first win, he will eventually. Iheanacho being injured again is exactly what we didn’t need, given our desperate struggle for goals.

Yang will be crucial while Tounekti is away, so I’ll back him and Maeda to score.

Prediction: Dundee United 0 v 2 Celtic
