Dundee Utd v Celtic: title push meets mid-table climb | OneFootball

Dundee Utd host Celtic in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday, 22 March 2026 at Tannadice Park, with the visitors chasing top spot and the hosts looking to close the gap on the top six.

The head-to-head leans towards Celtic, who beat Dundee Utd 4-0 in January, though the hosts edged December's meeting 2-1.

The Arabs have one win in their last five league games, while the Bhoys arrive with four wins and a draw from their last five in all competitions, including a shootout success at Rangers.

The Hoops average 66% possession and 87.46% passing accuracy, with 56 league goals and 12 clean sheets. United, operating at 41% possession and having conceded 48, may favour compact work without the ball and quick breaks. With 578 open-play crosses and 10 headed goals, the Hoops could look to stretch the game out wide.

Benjamin Nygren leads the Bhoys' threat as the league's second-top scorer on 15 goals, with Daizen Maeda on seven and Kieran Tierney supplying seven assists. For The Arabs, Amar Fatah has seven league goals, while Zachary Sapsford has six and Will Ferry has provided four assists.

A win would move the Hoops to 64 points and could take them top depending on other results. Three points for The Arabs would lift them to 37 and keep them in touch with the top half.
