Stats & Facts
Celtic lost on their last two visits to Tannadice. One under Wilfried Nancy in December 2025 and the other under Martin O’Neill in March 2026.
Celtic’s last win at the stadium was in April 2025 when they won 5-0 to secure the league title. That was the last time we saw Jota in a Celtic jersey.
Dundee United’s most recent League Cup triumph came in the 1980/81 season.
The last time these teams met in the League Cup, Celtic won the trophy thanks to goals from Commons and Forrest in 2015.
Opposition Last Result: Hearts 4-0 Dundee United
Wouter Vranken finally got his first competitive win as Hearts manager as they swept aside a beleaguered Dundee United side.
It only took four minutes for the Jambos to take the lead. A heavy touch was gobbled up in the midfield, allowing Hearts to work the ball forward. Renaud had acres of space in the middle of the park and the Frenchman curled home a stunning effort.
