SPL - Sunday 6th May Team News‏ & Thoughts

Dundee Utd v Celtic
Dundee Utd

Injuries - Lacny
Doubtful - Gunning, Kenneth, Russell, Flood
Available Squad - Pernis, Dillon, Kenneth, Gunning, Neilson, Dixon, Flood, Rankin, Robertson, Mackay-Steven, Russell, Daly, Ryan, Armstrong, Watson, Dow, Swanson, Douglas, Banks

Probable XI - Pernis, Neilson, Dillon, Kenneth, Dixon, Rankin, Robertson, Mackay-Steven, Armstrong, Ryan, Daly (4-4-2)



Celtic

Injuries - Ki, Forrest
Available Squad - Zaluska, Cha, Kelvin Wilson, Rogne, Izaguirre, McGeouch, Hooper, Wanyama, Ledley, Commons, Ibrahim, Bangura, Stokes, Forster, Brozek, Lustig, Blackman, Samaras, Loovens, Mulgrew

Probable XI - Forster, Lustig, Loovens, Mulgrew, Izaguirre, Matthews, Brown, Ledley, Commons, Hooper, Stokes (4-4-2)


Prediction : Dundee Utd 1-2 Celtic

Dundee Utd were useless against Rangers midweek which was strange as rangers looked ordinary today. There are doubts over Gunning, Russell, Flood and Gunning and without these players I cant really see them getting a positive result. Expect Celtic to again field some of their fringe players but they should still have a strong enough core to the team. I'm tempted with Both Teams to Score but will just stick with a CELTIC WIN @ 1.91 (Ladbrokes)

St Johnstone

Injuries - Croft, Mackay
Doubtful - Millar, Wright
Suspended - Sandaza
Available Squad - Mannus, Maybury, Wright, McCracken, Anderson, Callum Davidson, Millar, Riordan, Morris, Adams, Haber, Murray Davidson, Craig, Sheridan, Enckelman, Keatings, Moon, Oyenuga, Moffat, Hutchinson

Probable XI - Mannus, Maybury, McCracken, Anderson, C. Davidon, Riordan, Morris, Adams, M. Davidson, Haber, Sheridan (4-4-2)

Prediction : Hearts 1-0 St Johnstone

Even though St Johnstone have won the other 3 fixtures this season against Hearts I don't fancy them to get another win here. Hearts have not lost 3 in a row at home since December 2007. The Hearts players will still be very careful to keep themselves fit for the final but I think they can sneak a win here (just) Home win @ 2.1 (William Hill)
