How to watch Celtic vs Dundee United: TV channel, live stream, match officials and latest team news

Celtic have an opportunity to extend their lead further over Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership table when they welcome Dundee United to Parkhead this evening.

Brendan Rodgers’ side bounced back from their heavy Old Firm defeat to their arch rivals on January 2 with a routine 3-0 victory over St Mirren in their last outing, a result they will be determined to build on when the high-flying Tayside outfit arrive in Glasgow.

The Tangerines have made a stunning return to the top-flight this season to sit third with 34 points from 21 league games. However, they did suffer a rare defeat against lowly Hearts at Tynecastle last time out to bring an end to their three-match winning streak.
