Celtic are heading to Tannadice knowing three points will officially seal a fourth consecutive league title – and the 13th in the last 14 years.
Brendan Rodgers’ side have been relentless this season, but have slowed down ans the split approached.
Heading into the last five games, Celtic were tremendous at the weekend, dismantling Kilmarnock in style to move within touching distance of the Premiership crown. And with just one point needed, Celtic fans are already eyeing a potential title party in Dundee.
It’s not the first time in recent memory that the Hoops have travelled to Tannadice with silverware in their sights. On their last league-clinching trip to Tayside under Ange Postecoglou, Dundee United were forced to cancel more than 100 home-end tickets, after concerns that Celtic fans had purchased seats through the home support to join the celebrations.
The away allocation for that clash, of course, sold out, with Celtic shifting all standard away tickets and a further 200 hospitality briefs.
Demand for the clash against Dundee United in just a few weeks’ time will be high, no surprises there.
Unless the hosts open up further sections of the ground to away fans, Celtic will likely be backed by around 3,700 in the official away end. The only question is whether that number increases – or whether some in the home end are wearing green come kick-off.
