The penultimate round of the Scottish Premiership kicks off this week and Dundee United host Celtic at Tannadice Park on Wednesday night.
Dundee United have struggled for results of late and now have their European ambitions in jeopardy. They were beaten 2-0 by defending champions Rangers in their last outing and were handily sidelined by the league giants as they battled for a foothold in the game.
The local team is fourth in the table with 44 points from 36 games. They will be looking to return to winning ways this weekend as they battle for the final European spot.
Celtic have had a brilliant campaign and are now closing in on their 52nd league title. They beat Heart of Midlothian 4-1 in their last game, shaking off an early concession to turn the score around and walk to victory.
The Celts have put up 89 points in 36 games this season and sit atop the table. They can wrap up their title run with just one point on Wednesday.
