Dundee United vs Celtic

The Bhoys endure traversing amid a disastrous opening chapter to Wilfried Nancy's reign, with the Celtic Park colossus having endured the ignominy of capitulation across all their first three matches under their incoming tactician. The crushing 3-1 defeat to St Mirren in the Scottish League Cup final epitomised the depths that few aligned with such a establishment could have imagined.

Nancy has become the only manager in the institution's illustrious history to lose his first three games in tenure, and we detect a desperate need to arrest this alarming trajectory.

Yet, optimism may be gleaned from the Tangerines' ongoing tribulations. The home club have proved incapable to record success in any of their previous seven outings, and for all Celtic's current turmoil, the away side still boast superior talent. We are endorsing the green-and-white brigade to secure a crucial three points.
