Dundee United
We’re going for Celtic at +650 to secure a 2-1 win. It’s exciting to bet on the correct score and this wager will hopefully be able to land a nice return.

Zachary Sapsford (United) is available at -100 to finish with one or more shots on goal. The odds look attractive based on the evidence and we’ll take a chance on him on the Shots on Target market.
Benjamin Nygren (Celtic) has scored four goals in his past five Premiership games on home soil. We think this is the pick of the player props, with a generous +115 available when it comes to backing him to score at any time.
