Jim Goodwin faces Dundee United selection headache ahead of Celtic Park clash

Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin faces multiple selection concerns ahead of Wednesday's Scottish Premiership match against Celtic at Celtic Park. Winger Mehdi Merghem remains a doubt after sustaining a knee injury in September, while defender Will Ferry is expected to miss out due to a muscle issue. Midfielder Emmanuel Agyei also faces a race against time following a knee ligament injury.

Despite the injury problems, Dundee United sit fourth in the table after a 3-2 victory over Aberdeen. Forward Lachie Rose has returned from an ankle injury, and in-form captain Dylan Tait scored once and provided two assists in the recent win, leaving United on an 11-point run across their last five matches.
