Celtic, hoping to win the Clydesdale Bank Premier League title this evening, know a victory against Dundee United at Tannadice should be enough to see them home.

The Parkhead side were level on points with rivals Rangers but four goals better off going into the last game of the season with the Ibrox side playing Aberdeen at Pittodrie.

Celtic defender Andreas Hinkel returned at the expense of Mark Wilson as the only change to the champion's line-up.

United manager Craig Levein dropped defender Lee Wilkie, who faced a ban for the start of next season if he picked up one more yellow card, Garry Kenneth coming into the heart of the Taysiders' defence.

Danny Swanson and Sean Dillon came in for Mihael Kovacevic, who dropped out altogether and David Robertson, who started on the bench.

Meanwhile,  Rangers headed into the final fixture of the season looking for a win at Aberdeen and for leaders Celtic to trip up at Dundee United.

Manager Walter Smith made three changes to the side who defeated St Mirren 3-0 on Monday night.

Daniel Cousin was drafted in to start alongside Jean-Claude Darcheville in attack, while Charlie Adam and Carlos Cuellar were also included as Kris Boyd, Nacho Novo and Kirk Broadfoot dropped to the bench.

Aberdeen made two changes to the side beaten at Motherwell 12 days ago, with Zander Diamond and Chris Maguire in for Andrew Considine and Josh Walker.
