Celtic take on Dundee United at Tannadice today, returning to the scene of a 9-0 drubbing for the Taysiders the last time Ange Postecoglou's side visited.
Again, the manager has excellent options in attack so it’s hard to predict who he’ll go for beyond Kyogo Furuhashi. In defence is where we could see two major returns to the line-up after injury. He’s made crucial saves in recent matches against Kilmarnock and St Mirren – the expectation is that he’ll be tested at some stage today.
Ange Postecoglou's men have already defeated Dundee United twice this campaign already including a nine goal win on their last visit to Tannadice earlier ...
Dundee United under Liam has improved since then in their understanding of how they want to play and they look a lot more settled as a side. [Ange Postecoglou's](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/all-about/ange-postecoglou) side have been relentless this season to date in the league only losing one and drawing one of 22 games. “We had to work hard to get our dominance and it will be no different this week.

The league leaders ran out 9-0 winners in the first meeting between the pair at Tannadice in an unforgettable afternoon while the second match was much closer with Postecoglou and his troops needing last-gasp goals from [Kyogo Furuhashi](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/all-about/kyogo-furuhashi) and [Liel Abada](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/all-about/liel-abada) to run out 4-2 winners. It is the kind of form that has stopped unbeaten [Michael Beale](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/all-about/michael-beale) the chance to claw back any distance on the Scottish champions in the race for the title and after watching the [Light Blues](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/all-about/rangers-fc) pick up three points yesterday, the Hoops gaffer will be demanding a similar outcome for his side this afternoon.

Enjoy the match and best of luck to Ange and the Bhoys. The broadcasters have given Scottish football the ‘Super Sunday’ slot owing to the English FA Cup Fourth Round matches taking place this week. [@ScottishFA]need to be taken to task for facilitating the corruption Both have a significant track record this season in this regard and at some stage Scottish football really has got to say enough is enough. How can that penalty yesterday, for example be a penalty when the Goldson one against Celtic on 2 January was not? Collum brings the game into disrepute with his fear of theRangers.
It's a famous fixture in the Scottish football calendar and has yielded an eye-popping 17 goals in two meetings this season.
There's still some ways to go, of course, and a clash with But a bright start from the champions. Eye of the needle pass from Jota finds his goal hungry strike pal but the man of the moment miscues and it lands in the away end. But bright and full of intent from one of the men who makes Celtic tick. The winger was primed to strike but had a change of heart and his lofted ball for Kyogo was all wrong. Well, a chance to lump it into the box and Sibbald's curling ball almost finds Fletcher before it lands in the grateful hands of Hart. This time his strike lacks the curl needed to find the back post but he is bright as a button here. Don Robertson says foul only but a cynical pull back from the full back after a heavy touch. Not only a striker, he's well up for getting physical in the middle of the park. Celtic fans reckon the defender is underrated but sometimes he gets his feet in a tangle and a crass clearance draws a sigh from pal Carter Vickers. VAR is checking for offisde which seems to indicate a penalty but now the referee is heading to his monitor. And the Australian is inches away from the perfect cross for Abada.
Don Robertson and Euan Anderson had a busy day at Tannadice and it wasn't a good one for the man in the middle.
Celtic fans might point to yesterday's red card for Nicky Clark at Ibrox and it would be a fair comparison with both high but there was no intervention from Anderson on this occasion despite a check from the VAR official. During the second half, Liel Abada went down under a challenge that was quickly checked by VAR but nothing came from it. Kieran Freeman put his hand out to block a ball through from Jota and the Portuguese winger could be seen screaming for it right away and no wonder. Within 10 minutes of the second half starting, Robertson was sent over to the monitor again to check a handball. VAR official Euan Anderson then spoke to him and rightly told Robertson to go to the monitor and he then overturned his decision after looking at replays. A ball over the top saw Dundee United goalkeeper Mark Birighitti come out and punch the ball clear and while doing so, he was challenged by Kyogo.
IT was a tight clash at Tannadice with both sides coming close on occasions but the Hoops went two goals ahead after Jota gave Celtic the lead after t.

Everything Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou had to say in his post-match interview with Sky Sports after his side's victory against Dundee United.
I guess it means I am still in a job and we have seen this week that you cannot take that for granted anymore in my role. We just need to do what we did in the first part of the year. I do not think there is much point and I think it is obvious there are still some issues there. I have had my say on VAR and we just need to let it roll now. If you look before he came to us he had not played a lot of football which I am hoping means he has saved it up for the rest of his career. He [Aaron Mooy] is doing really well and I think since the World Cup the key thing for him is that he has built up his match fitness.
The Hoops make the trip to Tannadice in a bid to re-establish their nine point lead at the top.
