Manager Ronny Deila has said that he expects Celtic's Scottish Premiership match against Dundee United on Sunday to be a "tough game".

The clubs meet for the seventh time of the season, with Celtic failing to win in the three previous matches played at Tannadice.

"I expect a high intensity game on Sunday but hopefully without any red cards so we can play 11 against 11. That is the most fun thing to do," Deila told Sky Sports News.

"We have been focusing on the next game all the time. We did well on Wednesday to get through against Dundee and it is another important game on Sunday. You can see [the title win] getting closer but it's going to be a tough game."

Celtic are currently eight points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, with five games remaining.
