Brendan Rodgers names Celtic starting XI for potential Tannadice title party

Brendan Rodgers has named his team to face Dundee United this afternoon. 

Celtic can secure the Scottish Premiership title if they avoid defeat at Tannadice in their maiden post-split fixture. 

The Parkhead side currently sit 15 points clear of Rangers at the top of the table and have enjoyed a dominant campaign up to this point.

A win or draw this afternoon would bring home Celtic's fourth consecutive league championship, and 55th overall in their history. 

Rodgers' men drew 0-0 on their last visit to face Dundee United, as a team consisting of the likes of Kyogo Furuhashi and Stephen Welsh, who are both no longer at the club, failed to find the back of the net. 

Celtic have since faced United twice in Glasgow, winning 2-0 and 3-0, respectively, with Daizen Maeda, Reo Hatate, Callum McGregor, Jota, and Adam Idah all scoring. 

From his team's 5-0 trouncing of St Johnstone in the Scottish Cup semi-finals last weekend, Rodgers has made two alterations to his startling lineup in Dundee this afternoon. 

Confirmed Celtic starting XI: Sinisalo, Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Scales, Taylor, McGregor, Hatate, Engels, Kuhn, Jota, Maeda. 

Subs: Bain, Trusty, Kenny, Forrest, Idah, Schlupp, McCowan, Bernardo, Ralston.
