Celtic travel to Tannadice tomorrow in the Cinch Premiership. The Scottish Champions hold a two-point lead over nearest challengers Rangers, who play today, whilst Dundee United are joint bottom.
Last time the teams met, Celtic were one point away from winning the league title and returning it back to Paradise.
A goal from Giorgos Giakoumakis header from a Tony Ralston cross gave the Celts the lead but it was a Dylan Levitt strike that equalised matters. The league would be sealed and Celtic fans enjoyed their evening in the ground before the team returned back to Celtic Park to an incredible sight.

We like to play to win every competition we enter, but the League Cup game midweek, and subsequent games in the tournament should we beat Ross County in Dingwall would lead to a heavily congested fixture schedule.
