League Cup countdown

Dundee United and Celtic meet in the final of the Scottish League Cup, presented by QTS, at Hampden on Sunday.

Dundee United and Celtic meet in the final of the Scottish League Cup, presented by QTS, at Hampden on Sunday.

Club captains Sean Dillon and Scott Brown were at the National Stadium on Monday afternoon to look ahead to the game, which is live on BBC Scotland with a 3.00pm kick-off.

United are appearing in their first final in this competition since 2008, when they lost to Rangers on penalties after a 2-2 draw. The Tannadice club have won the trophy twice in their history - against Aberdeen in 1979/80 and Dundee in 1980/81.

Celtic are seeking their 15th League Cup triumph, the most recent of which was a 2-0 extra-time win against Rangers in 2009 but are aiming to avoid a hat-trick of defeats after losing at this stage to Rangers in 2011 and Kilmarnock in 2012.

Sunday's match is the second of four encounters between the teams in the space of a fortnight - they drew 1-1 at Tannadice in a Scottish Cup quarter-final on Sunday, meet in the replay a week on Wednesday and also square up in a Premiership fixture at Celtic Park on Saturday March 21.
