United go to Celtic Park tomorrow night looking to stretch their unbeaten league run to six matches. Zidane Iqbal says the squad will go there for all three points, with confidence high after the win over Aberdeen and the group growing closer. The SPFL says Iqbal’s first United goal on Saturday made him the first Iraqi player to score in the Scottish top flight. United begin fourth on fifteen points, while Celtic are top on twenty-seven.
United have recent evidence that they can hurt Celtic. Jim Goodwin’s side won the clubs’ last league meeting two-nil at Tannadice in March, with Will Ferry and Emmanuel Agyei scoring. Celtic have won nine of their ten league matches this season, so tomorrow brings together the league leaders and the team in fourth.
After Celtic, United will not face Hearts on Saturday. The SPFL fixture list and United’s own events page now mark the Tannadice match as postponed. No rearranged date has been announced. United’s next listed match after Celtic is at home to Motherwell on Saturday the seventh of November.
Loan Watch. The Courier reports that Sam Cleall-Harding does not need surgery on the hamstring injury he suffered at Dunfermline. Neil Lennon says the defender still faces a lengthy absence of about eight to twelve weeks, with a return around Christmas the hope.
United have paid tribute to former director Gibby Haggart, who has died after an illness. He joined the board in 2002 and served eleven years as an executive director, overseeing projects including new floodlights and seating in the Jerry Kerr Stand. His time on the board included the 2010 Scottish Cup win.
