Can Dundee complete landmark double over Celtic?
[BBC] Another curious sub plot in what has been a remarkable story in this Scottish Premiership season has been the impact the City of Discovery has had on Celtic's hopes of retaining the title. Dundee United have already beaten the Hoops twice at Tannadice and, with a home win over Celtic already under their belt, Dundee have the chance to complete a notable Dens Park double by doing the same again this weekend. If they can, the headlines would largely centre on the fact it would represent a potentially fatal blow to the Parkhead club's already flickering title aspirations.
But just as important would be the fact it would deliver a shot in the arm to the Dark Blues' top division survival hopes. For all that there has been to like about Steven Pressley's side in recent months, a run of just two wins from their last six league games leaves them eighth in the table – five points above second bottom Kilmarnock and still with work to do as they aim to avoid getting sucked in to the battle to avoid the dreaded relegation play-off place. So a win over Celtic would represent a significant step in the right direction with regards to that – as well as the completion of what would be a landmark double over the Glasgow giants.
