Dundee United v Celtic: Teams named as Hoops hope to clinch title at TannadiceSNS Group

Jim Goodwin and Brendan Rodgers have named their starting teams for the Dundee United v Celtic Premiership game at Tannadice.

The Hoops arrive in Tayside on Saturday afternoon with the chance to clinch the league title.

If the Parkhead side get a win or a draw then they will be crowned champions of Scotland for the fourth year in a row.

But the home side also still have a lot to play for as they fight for a third-place finish that would guarantee them European group stage football next season.

If United beat the champions-elect, then they will go joint on points with Hibernian who take on Aberdeen later on Saturday.

Goodwin has started with Walton in goals behind Strain, Sevelj, Adegboyega, Ferry, Sibbald, Docherty, Campbell, Middleton, Paton and Dalby.

Rodgers has Sinsialo between the sticks and a back four of Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Scales and Taylor.

Captain Callum McGregor anchors a three-man midfield beside Hatate and Engels with Kuhn and Jota either side of Maeda up front.
