Dundee Utd. face a trip to Celtic at Celtic Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Terrors will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 50 and win only 8 of the 80 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in December 2006, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Scottish Premier match.
