Is there a Celtic vs Dundee United live stream? TV channel, PPV, ref, VAR and team news for Premiership clash

Dundee United will be determined to frustrate Celtic for the second time in a month as they visit Parkhead.

Jim Goodwin's Arabs have been one of the division's surprise packages this season following their promotion from the Championship sitting third in the top flight table - and have reeled in Aberdeen's early advantage after the Dons blistering start to life under Jimmy Thelin came to a shuddering end. In Sam Dalby United have one of the Premiership's most dangerous forwards, and the Wrexham loanee would love to further endear himself to the Tannadice faithful by becoming just the third opposition player to score a league goal at Celtic Park this season.

Celtic meanwhile have the chance to open out a huge 16 point gap at the top of the table, as Brendan Rodgers' Bhoys look set to storm to a 55th title. But despite some dominant showings, especially in front of their own fans, there are signs of trouble in Paradise - with boss Rodgers hitting out at fans for singing Kieran Tierney's name, as the Hoops hero edges closer to an emotional return to Glasgow. Rodgers felt the singing was "disrespectful" to current left-back Greg Taylor and also let rip at supporters frustrated by backwards passes during their victory over St Mirren on Sunday. That means that the Hoops know they can't be kept at bay by United again, with home fans unlikely to be patient if they feel their side is underperforming.
