The fate of the 2025/26 Scottish Premiership might just rest in the hands of Dundee United on Matchday 31 when they host Celtic. The Bhoys are just two points off the top and will be looking to match or overtake Hearts if they draw or lose this weekend. However, that would mean avoiding another defeat to Dundee United after the Terror beat Celtic 2-1 here earlier this season. See our match prediction below.
Celtic just showed they mean business in their latest game, after cracking the outright strongest defense to beat Motherwell 3-1. That's just the kind of results The Bhoys will need if they hope to retain the title. Their victory over Motherwell makes it three wins in a row in all competitions.
They should be confident here, especially after thrashing Dundee United 4-0 in their last meeting. On the other end are The Terrors, who are in a comfortable yet tricky spot.
Dundee has done just enough to top the relegation round zone, but is still ten points off Kilmarnock in an actual relegation position. With 24 points still to play for, Dundee cannot claim safety with a ten-point lead, making this game just as crucial as it is for Celtic, despite less urgency.

Our Dundee United vs Celtic Prediction
The Terrors are a competent side capable of scoring against any team in the league, which is something they've proven even against Celtic. However, we think The Bhoys' offense will just be too overwhelming for a notoriously leaky Dundee backline.
Celtic are by far the sharpest offensive team in the league this season, and have proven it with the most goals, most big chances, and the second-most scored on the road. Hence, our Dundee United vs Celtic prediction is that Celtic wins.
