Celtic have the Premier Sports Cup back in the Parkhead trophy room. But Brendan Rodgers has set his sights on yet another clean sweep with the Premiership and Scottish Cup still to be claimed.
The Hoops overtook Rangers as the most successful team in Scotland by coming out on top of Sunday’s six-goal thriller at Hampden via a nervy penalty shootout. And the runaway league leaders will be determined to maintain their unbeaten domestic form when Rodgers takes on Dundee United for the first time in his managerial career this weekend.
Incredibly, the Northern Irishman has yet to face United across his two spells at Parkhead and will be in the opposite dugout at Tannadice for the first time when he takes charge of his 245th Celtic game on Sunday. A bumper crowd is expected in Tayside for the final league fixture before Christmas and here, Record Sport tells you everything you need to know ahead of the showdown.
