Goal Statistics

Celtic's defensive record is very strong, Brendan Rodgers's men having conceded 1 or less in 7 consecutive Premiership outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.1 for Dundee United makes sense in this context.

Celtic have been consistent in front of goal of late, finding the net in 24 consecutive Premiership matches. Their PG of 1.9 against Dundee United on Sunday suggests that run is likely to continue.
