Celtic Predicted Lineup vs Dundee United<\/span><\/h2>\n

How Celtic Have Lined up Recently<\/span><\/h3>\n

Against Bayern Munich, it was the expected back four that\u00a0Brendan Rodgers lined up with. Alistair Johnson impressed – particularly in the second half when he could get forward and create alongside substitute Yang. <\/span>Cameron Carter-Vickers and Auston Trusty formed a <\/span>partnership\u00a0that\u00a0<\/span>was <\/span>particularly<\/span> tested<\/span> in the first half.<\/span> Greg Taylor completed the defence and unsurprisingly struggled to contain\u00a0Michael Olise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In midfield, Callum McGregor played the deepest of the three.\u00a0<\/span>At\u00a0<\/span>times<\/span>\u00a0his passing was<\/span>\u00a0square, which left Celtic struggling to get forward.<\/span>\u00a0Reo Hatate and Arne Engels played in front of the Scottish international.<\/span><\/p>\n

Up front, Nicolas Kuhn, Adam Idah and Daizen Maeda started. Kuhn thought he had scored after just twenty seconds\u00a0<\/span>only<\/span>\u00a0for the offside flag to deny him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Celtic Recent Form and Tactics<\/span><\/h3>\n

After a respectable 2-1 loss to Bayern midweek, one eye will already be on next week’s clash in Munich. However, a completely different style of game awaits them at the weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

Domestically, Celtic have adapted their defensive approach\u00a0as of late. The nature of their\u00a0counter-pressing has become even more intense. <\/span>Often<\/span>\u00a0they hunt in packs of three or four players, suffocating their opponents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Maeda’s recent terrific form up front has also\u00a0given\u00a0Celtic another string to their bow. <\/span>The never-ending work rate is <\/span>being<\/span>paired<\/span> with quality and composure\u00a0to a level <\/span>that<\/span>\u00a0we have never seen before.<\/span><\/p>\n

Injuries to Consider<\/span><\/h3>\n

Just as\u00a0<\/span>James Forrest<\/span><\/a>\u00a0returns to training, Paulo Bernardo will <\/span>now<\/span> be out for five weeks with an ankle injury.<\/span><\/p>\n
