Dundee United confident Celtic clash will go ahead as club rush to repair Tannadice roof

Dundee United are confident they should be able to host Celtic this weekend despite damage caused by Storm Arwen putting the Tannadice matchup in doubt.

Reports had suggested the Premiership clash was not a certainty to go ahead due to roof damage and a road closure as club officials rushed to carry out emergency repairs.

Record Sport also revealed there was a possibility of a reduced capacity for the match, which is live on Sky Sports on Sunday lunchtime.

A statement from United said: "Following Friday night's Storm Arwen, we can confirm parts of the Jerry Kerr Stand roof were damaged. As a result Dundee City Council closed the road outside.

"Assessment of damage and restoration will begin today and is expected to last a few days."

It's understood United are optimistic enough remedial work will have been undertaken to allow the televised match against Ange Postecoglou's side to get the go-ahead.

The club are expected to issue a further update later on Thursday.
