Celtic confirm minute's silence against Dundee United at Tannadice

A minute's silence will take place before Celtic's clash against Dundee United tomorrow in memory of Pope Francis.

Brendan Rodgers' men travel to Tannadice for the Saturday lunchtime kick-off, live on Sky Sports.

The Hoops know that avoiding defeat will be enough to secure a fourth straight Scottish Premiership title.

So, an expectant away crowd will make the journey to the City of Discovery in an optimistic mood as the team looks to wrap up another successful league campaign.

Before the match, though, in tribute to the late Pope Francis, a moment of silence will take place, according to Celtic's SLO.

John Paul Taylor wrote on X: "Ahead of tomorrow's match, there will be one minute's silence in memory of Pope Francis."
