LUCA TO PUT CAT AMONG THE PIGEONS

>>> CELTIC v >>> DUNDEE UTD TODAY. 3PM

- 

DUNDEE UNITED star Luca Stephenson used to roar on Martin O'Neill's side - now he wants to take his scalp at Celtic.

The legendary Northern Irishman had two years in charge of the midfielder's hometown heroes, Sunderland, from 2011.

Stephenson was a Black Cats season ticket holder but that past loyalty will go out the window, as he looks to ruin O'Neill's latest homecoming and make it back-to-back wins for United against Celtic.

"I watched Martin O'Neill's Sunderland team when I was a really young boy," the United player confirmed.

"I think I was at his first game, we won 2-1 against Blackburn and Seb Larsson scored a free-kick. It will be a bit surreal with him on the touchline this weekend because I watched him when I was a kid.

"He was a decent Sunderland manager I think, although he got the bullet at some point.
