Celtic return to Scottish Premiership action against Dundee United this weekend in buoyant mood after adding yet more silverware to their trophy cabinet with last week’s penalty shootout win in the Premier Sports Cup final.
Scheduled to kick-off at 12pm, Brendan Rodgers’ make the trip to Dundee United looking to maintain their unbeaten domestic record that has resulted in them moving 11-points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership, though their hosts will hope to be the first side to take all three points against the Bhoys this season.
With no Champions League fixtures this week, the Celtic players have been able to take a well-earned rest on the back of playing 120 minutes in last week’s cup final against Rangers. Rodgers’ has had almost a full squad to choose from in recent weeks, but he faces an anxious wait over one of his key stars for this weekend’s clash, while he’s been dealt a huge blow in his forward line.
As for their weekend opponents Dundee United, head coach Jim Goodwin has been dealt a huge injury blow in the last few days, though he is able to welcome back wing-back Will Ferry following suspension.
