Celtic sent title party warning by Dundee United player

Celtic have been sent a title party warning by Dundee United player Glenn Middleton.

Dundee United host the Hoops on Saturday lunchtime, as Brendan Rodgers' men look to officially claim their fourth Scottish Premiership crown in a row.

"A party atmosphere? Definitely. Our fans will be doing the exact same because they've got a team that have everything still to play for this season.

“It will obviously be a great occasion in terms of Scottish football and what's at stake. It’s one that we're really looking forward to, and we've got full confidence going into.

“I don’t think there has been a game this season where another team has dominated us completely. Everyone knows the quality and the strength in depth Celtic have in their squad and how good they are when they are on their game.

“But the manager has always had us in a mind frame and a game plan to go into games and give as good an account as possible and Saturday will be no different.”
