📊 Recent form
Celtic have won their last six league matches, a sequence running from wins away to Hibernian and at home to Rangers through victories at Motherwell and against Hearts and Dundee, before the 5-1 win at Kilmarnock. Away from home, Celtic have won five of their last six league games, with the only defeat in that run coming at Dundee United.
Dundee United are without a win in six league matches, losing at Kilmarnock and Aberdeen before three successive draws with Livingston, St Mirren and Rangers, then a 4-0 defeat at Hearts. Their home form has held up better: four straight home league wins were followed by draws against Livingston and Rangers.

The previous meeting was also at The CalForth Construction Arena, with Dundee United winning 2-1 in the league in December 2025, so the last three meetings have all been home wins.
