Celtic v Dundee United: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Celtic soon put their 3-0 defeat by Rangers behind them with a 3-0 home win over St Mirren on Sunday and Brendan Rodgers' team will be hoping for more of the same when they entertain Dundee United on Wednesday.

The weekend results left Celtic 13 points clear of the Gers with both teams having played 20 games in the Scottish Premiership this season and last week's Old Firm derby defeat was their only setback in their last 20 matches in all competitions.

Celtic have also drawn two league games this season and one of those was against Dundee United, who held them to a goalless draw at Tannadice just before Christmas.

The Tangerines will be delighted to be third in the table in their first campaign back in the top flight after winning promotion last season, but a three-match winning streak came to an abrupt halt with Sunday's 1-0 home defeat by Hearts.

Celtic v Dundee United betting tips and predictions

Celtic to win to nil - 10/11

Celtic received a shock to the system with their 3-0 defeat by Rangers in the first Old Firm derby of 2025 at Ibrox last Thursday, but normal service was resumed in Sunday's routine 3-0 home win over St Mirren and the Bhoys should chalk up another three points against Dundee United.

The two recent games against Rangers are the only times in their last 10 matches that Celtic have failed to keep a clean sheet and taking them to record another win to nil has plenty of appeal.

The Bhoys have shut out St Johnstone, Motherwell, United themselves, Dinamo Zagreb, Hibernian, Aberdeen and Ross County in fixtures other than their clashes with their biggest rivals.

Rodgers' side have conceded only two goals in their 10 home league games this season, scoring 32 themselves, and while United are third in the table, there's still a major difference in talent between the two squads.

United have not won any of the team's last 20 meetings and while they will have been delighted to take a point from their first clash with the champions this season, they had only 21.7% possession at home. The problem for Celtic in that match was the accuracy of their shooting as they had 12 of the 14 total shots in the match and took nine of the 12 corners.

The Tangerines have conceded in three of their four subsequent games and could struggle to make an impression on this match.

Nicolas Kuhn anytime goalscorer - 6/4

Celtic forward Nicolas Kuhn missed the recent league meeting with the Tangerines after tweaking his knee, but he had scored in the Scottish League Cup final victory against Rangers and has also been on target in three of his four games since returning to the side.

Kuhn netted against both Motherwell and St Johnstone before grabbing his team's first and last goals in the 3-0 win over St Mirren on Sunday.

The German ace was missing from the Celtic line-up in their goalless first encounter against United but could prove tricky for the visitors to handle in his current form.

Will Ferry to be booked - 7/4

Dundee United have received 11 yellow cards and a red in their four games since the 0-0 home draw with Celtic, in which they had two players booked, while one Celtic player's name was taken.

The Tangerines could be in for a frustrating time at Celtic Park and while wide man Will Ferry has not fallen foul of the referee in his last five appearances, that's about as long as he has gone between cautions all season.

The former Southampton, Crawley and Cheltenham man has collected seven yellow cards this term and was a regular recipient of bookings in League One last season, picking up six in his last 16 games for the Robins.
