History of the Dundee United v Celtic fixture

Dundee Utd. prepare to entertain Celtic at Tannadice Park on Wednesday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 37 of the 77 previous games, with the The Terrors winning just 24.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Tannadice Park was less than a year ago, in March 2007, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Scottish Premier match.
