Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou will look to rally his troops to restore their nine-point gap over bitter rivals Rangers as they travel to Tayside on Sunday afternoon to face an out-of-sorts Dundee United side.
The Tangerines are one of four teams in a relegation cat-fight, with themselves, Motherwell, Kilmarnock and Ross County all joined at the hip on 20 points. A loss against the league leaders would be no shame, though setting a good precedent is key to haul themselves out. Celtic, meanwhile, have not lost in the league since September. A truly incredible run of form has seen them drop just five points all season, and Postecoglou's side will be looking to extend that despite losing a couple of players in the transfer window.
This is the first time in 18 months that Celtic will be without Josip Juranovic registered to their squad; the Croat signed for Union Berlin last Sunday, and as a result it is almost guaranteed that Alistair Johnston will start in the right-back berth.
