Get £30 in free bets ahead of Dundee United vs Celtic – using ‘TSPORT’

Dundee United host Celtic at Tannadice Park on Saturday in the Premier Sports Cup second round, with the Scottish champions overwhelming favourites in a fixture they’ve won 34 times from the previous 46 meetings.

Ahead of a daunting cup test for the hosts, bet365 are offering new customers the chance to score £30 in free bets by signing up today – using code ‘TSPORT’ – and placing an initial £10 bet.

Following our link will automatically apply our bet365 bonus code ‘TSPORT‘. Please note that this code is optional and will not change the bonus amount in any way.

Dundee United’s start to the season has toughened up considerably since their strong Premier Sports Cup group stage form, losing 4-0 away to Hearts on Sunday having also drawn 1-1 with Rangers in their Premiership opener. Jim Goodwin’s side sit 11th in the early standings with just one point from two games, and will be without Miller Thomson through injury for this cup tie.

Celtic, meanwhile, are flying after a 5-1 demolition of Kilmarnock, with club-record signing Kasper Høgh scoring a first-half hat-trick for his first goals since arriving from Bodo/Glimt. The win came with Martin O’Neill absent following a minor hospital procedure, assistant Shaun Maloney overseeing the victory, and Celtic will again be without Benjamin Nygren through injury for the trip to Tannadice.

Grab even more value with bet365

Use our link to head to bet365 and set up an account if you haven’t already got one – this offer is, of course, only available to brand new customers. You just need to place an initial wager of £10 on something offering odds of at least 1/5 (1.20). 

A boost for a cup tie with real pedigree, as Celtic continue their pursuit of a domestic treble.

Celtic’s overwhelming head-to-head record to prove decisive again

Celtic have won 34 of the previous 46 meetings between these two sides, and a 5-1 demolition of Kilmarnock – inspired by Høgh’s hat-trick – suggests the champions are only building momentum. Dundee United, by contrast, have gone from a battling draw with Rangers to a 4-0 defeat at Hearts, a worrying dip in form heading into a daunting cup tie.

Celtic’s strength in depth should allow them to field a strong side even with cup rotation in mind, and with Høgh now off the mark and looking sharp, goals at the right end look the value angle against a Dundee United defence that’s just shipped four.

  • Celtic to win
  • Over 2.5 goals

A daunting task for Dundee United against a rampant Celtic side who just put five past Kilmarnock, with history and current form both pointing toward a routine passage into the next round for the champions.
