Celtic travel to Tannadice today to face Dundee United in the SPFL after their midweek win against Hearts at Celtic Park keeps them in touching distance of the top spot.
Celtic counted the cost of their win Thursday night with Anthony Ralston, Stephen Welsh and Jota went off injured against the Jambos. Cameron Carter-Vickers will return after missing the 1-0 victory because of a personal issue but Giorgos Giakoumakis faces another two or three weeks out after minor knee surgery.
Long-term absentees Christopher Jullien (knee) and Karamoko Dembele (ankle) remain out while Greg Taylor is said to be back after three months out.
The Hoops have a mountain of games to play in December but need to keep the winning momentum going but Tannadice is a tough trip as other teams have found out this season.
With the teams just released via their official channels this is how the Celtic will line up today:

Greg Taylor returns to the team after a few months out while Jota is out of the squad. Tony Ralston is also absent from the matchday squad. If Mikey Johnston has a day to prove himself it is today, he has big boots to fill but the manager seems to see something in Mikey.
