AI match recap

Celtic return to Parkhead as league leaders after showing recovery and attacking depth in their comeback at Hibs. Dundee United arrive in strong form and, under Jim Goodwin, intend to take the game on rather than retreat into a low block. The decisive contest is likely to be Celtic's pressure on United's wide defensive cover, particularly with Ferry unavailable and Johnston also ruled out. United's confidence makes them a credible threat on transitions, but ending their long Celtic Park drought requires them to survive sustained spells without losing their attacking identity.

Head-to-head analysis

Celtic have dominated the recent series, including a heavy League Cup win at Tannadice earlier this season, although Dundee United did win the most recent league meeting there. At Celtic Park, United have not won since 1992.

Injuries and absences

Johnston's confirmed absence weakens Celtic's continuity at right-back and puts extra importance on Donovan's defensive discipline. Ferry's absence is a sharper structural issue for Dundee United because it disrupts the left wing-back role in Goodwin's expansive shape.
