Celtic Predicted XI vs Dundee United: Must win before Glasgow Derby

Defence, Midfield and Attack

Anthony Ralston

With Greg Taylor returning from injury, it has given Josip Juranovic the chance to move back to the right side of the defence. That has resulted in the decrease of Ralston’s playing time despite his great performances this season. Hopefully he will get a run out against Dundee United.

Cameron Carter-Vickers

Carter-Vickers is almost undroppable right now after his incredible performances for Celtic.

Carl Starfelt

Starfelt had gone into the winter break in disappointing form but has looked much better since football has returned in January.

Liam Scales

Scales has impressed immensely in some of his recent performances and should get more chances to show what he is capable of.

Nir Bitton

Bitton was the man with the armband in the absence of Callum McGregor in the last game and it is safe to say that he put in a captain’s performance.

Reo Hatate

Hatate opened his account at Celtic in style with brilliant strike from 30 yards out against Hearts. Looks like a brilliant midfielder and a transfer masterstroke on the part of the Hoops. What a player!

Matt O’Riley

O’Riley put in a sensational display on his debut for Celtic, in difficult circumstances against Hearts, and hopefully he will continue performing like this moving forward.

Liel Abada

Abada’s form has blown hot and cold in recent times but even then, he looks like a better option than James Forrest, who has struggled heavily this season and might no longer be the automatic starter that he had been in the past.

Giorgos Giakoumakis

After struggling for months at Celtic, Giakoumakis has finally started to show what he can do by scoring in back-to-back games, against Alloa Athletic and Hearts respectively.

Jota

In a gigantic boost for Celtic, Jota has made his return from injury recently and it already looks like he is finding his rhythm once again.
