Dundee United v Celtic Odds

Dundee United v Celtic Odds for this week’s Dundee United Celtic crucial SPL encounter sees the Celts as clear odds on favourites and give United no chance. Based on their three league encounters so far this season the odds would be right. Celtic won 2-0 on their last visit to Tannadice and will look to at least repeat that this week.

Victory and with it the SPL will be a fitting way for Celtic to end this season, that has recently seen the loss of one of their great players and club men. Tommy Burns, who made over 500 appearances for Celtic, and also managed them, died last week of skin cancer. Celtic will be playing as much for him as they will be for the SPL title, a factor that United will have to deal with.

Rangers, who will be playing against Aberdeen at the same time, will be hoping that Dundee United can achieve at least a draw against Celtic, something they managed to do in Glasgow in March. That would be just the filip Rangers would need in their difficult match against Aberdeen. United have an added incentive of course here. A win would give them a chance of UEFA Cup qualification next season by finishing in 4th spot.

A few weeks ago, Celtic must have thought that they were out of the Title race; Rangers were a long way clear and had games in hand, but it just shows what belief can do. Rangers successful run to the final of the UEFA Cup cost them dearly in terms of fixture difficulties and from what was a chance of a four trophy season looks like being a probable two for them now. Celtic meanwhile have had a terrific end to their season and it looks like they will be picking up the SPL Trophy on Thursday night. Dundee United are 8/1 against winning and thus preventing them from doing so.
