Dundee United will take on Celtic in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday evening.
Jim Goodwin’s team is looking to find form after recent struggles. Meanwhile, Wilfried Nancy’s Celtic team aims to break a losing streak, although Celtic has not lost to Dundee United in their last 23 meetings.
Nancy’s start at Celtic has been challenging, with three consecutive losses. He replaced caretaker boss Martin O’Neill, who had a successful run including reaching the League Cup final. Nancy has faced defeats against Hearts, Roma, and St Mirren.
The low point was a 3-1 loss to St Mirren in the Scottish League Cup final at Hampden on December 14, where Jonah Ayunga scored twice in the second half to secure the win.
