Celtic v Dundee United Odds & Match Preview

Kick-off: 7.45pm UK Time, Wednesday 8th January 2025

Celtic enjoy a 13-point lead at the summit of the Scottish Premiership table was we head further into the new year and they will look to extend this lead when they entertain Dundee United on Wednesday evening.

Solitary defeat

Celtic have enjoyed a fabulous first half of the 2024/25 Scottish Premiership campaign and they head into their third outing of the new year having lost just once in twenty league fixtures. This solitary defeat came in the form of a 3-0 thumping by arch-rivals Rangers on 2nd January and while this was certainly a disappointment for Brendan Rodgers’ men, it’s unlikely to be a major factor in determining where the Scottish Premiership trophy is going to end up this year. Indeed, the Hoops bounced back from that disappointment by brushing aside St Mirren 3-0 in their second outing of 2025 and they will look to build upon this when they entertain Dundee United in their midweek clash.

Sterner test

Dundee United will likely provide the Parkhead outfit with a sterner test than the Buddies however, the Tangerines heading into this meeting on the back of a solid first half of the campaign. Despite losing 1-0 at home to Heart of Midlothian last time out, Dundee United sit in third position in the league standings with six points separating them from second-placed Rangers, the latter with the added advantage of a game-in-hand. The Tangerines’ 21 league games have returned nine wins, seven draws and five defeats, however they have failed to get the better of Celtic in any of their last twenty meetings across competitions.

Unstoppable

With Celtic having lost just one of their last 36 domestic outings, we don’t envisage the hosts slipping up here. The visitors have enjoyed an excellent first half of the season – by their own standards at least – but the Hoops have by-and-large been unstoppable in domestic competition and we’ll be siding with them to get the better of the Tangerines on this occasion.

Back Celtic to win and both teams to score at best odds of 8/5
