Is Celtic vs Dundee United on TV? Live stream, channel, PPV, ref, VAR and team news for Premiership meeting
Celtic will look to open up a 16 point gap at the top of the Scottish Premiership table as they welcome Dundee United.
Brendan Rodgers' side bounced back from a surprise derby defeat to Rangers by breezing beyond St Mirren in Glasgow's East End on Sunday whilst their rivals were held to a draw by Hibs, and will be determined to exact revenge on United after they held the champions to a goalless draw at Tannadice the last time the teams met. And the Hoops faithful will be confident their side can do just that, having watched their team drop points just once at home all season - in a breathless 2-2 draw with Aberdeen back in October. That game is also the only one where Celtic have conceded at home in the Premiership this season.
But United will prove a tough test, and star striker Sam Dalby will be a threat - as speculation continues to swirl about his future, with Wrexham said to be considering recalling the 10 goal hitman after some dazzling displays on Tayside. Jim Goodwin has so far defied all expectations following promotion from the Championship, and hopes of European football will be high after the Arabs overtook stuttering Aberdeen to claim third in the table.
Here, Record Sport tells you everything you need to know ahead of what is set to be another fascinating Scottish Premiership clash.

Team news
Winger James Forrest remains out for the Hoops while Odin Thiago Holm misses out with a calf injury.
Dundee United appear to have a near full squad at Jim Goodwin's disposal. Craig Sibbald's groin and Louis Moult's shoulder issues mean they are both unlikely to feature while some tactical changes could be on the cards following the Hearts loss.
