Celtic have struggled for consistency so far this season in the league which has resulted in them being sixth-placed at the moment – a far cry away from where they want to be.
The Hoops are aiming to be in the title race by the end of the campaign, and that is why a strong run of form is needed for the team to start climbing up the table.
That could begin this Sunday when they take on Dundee United, who actually sit above them at the moment, despite the fact they finished in ninth in 2020-21.
Celtic responded well to consecutive defeats on Thursday when they faced Raith Rovers, putting an end to that run with an emphatic 3-0 victory.
This continued their impressive spell in front of goal this season as David Turnbull, Liel Abada and Jota got on the scoresheet, with the latter actually finding the back of the net for the first time since joining on loan in the summer.
However, now that Ange Postecoglou’s squad have secured a place in the final four of the Scottish League Cup, the attention will turn back to the league.
They will be hoping to quickly improve upon their last performance in the division, which saw the Hoops beaten by Livingston, who had not won a game until that point.

On the other hand, Dundee United will be looking to rebuild their belief after being knocked out of the Scottish League Cup by Hibernian on Thursday.
Tam Courts actually saw his team dominate the game, having the majority of the possession (62%) and more shots, but the damage was done in the first half as the Hibbies had a three-goal lead before the break
