📊 Recent form
Celtic have made a sharp start to competitive football, with their last six league results moving from wins over Hibernian, Rangers, Motherwell and Hearts into victories against Dundee and Kilmarnock. Away from home, Celtic have won five of their last six league matches, with the only setback in that sequence a 2-0 defeat at Dundee United.
Dundee Utd's recent league form has been tougher: defeats to Kilmarnock and Aberdeen were followed by draws with Livingston, St Mirren and Rangers, before a 4-0 loss at Hearts. At home, Jim Goodwin's side had won four in a row before the goalless draw with Livingston and 1-1 draw against Rangers.
⚔️ Head-to-head
Dundee United won the most recent league meeting 2-0 at home in March, after Celtic had won 4-0 at Celtic Park in January. The previous meeting was also at Dundee United, where the home side won 2-1 in the league in December 2025.
That leaves Dundee United with two wins from the last three meetings, both at home, while Celtic's victory in the sequence was the only one at Celtic Park.
