Goodwin on Moult injury, Celtic challenge & 'invaluable' Dalby

Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premiership visit of leaders Celtic.

Here are the key lines.

• Striker Louis Moult faces "a few weeks" out after suffering shoulder ligament damage, with Goodwin describing it as a "bitter blow".

• He says United have been "really unfortunate" with injuries this season.

• Goodwin urges United to believe they can inflict Celtic's first domestic defeat of the season and says they go into it with a "positive mindset".

• He is well aware how big a challenge his side face against Celtic, saying "the job Brendan Rodgers has done is remarkable".

• Goodwin cited Aberdeen – who drew 2-2 at Parkhead earlier in the season - as evidence of what can happen if you stay in the game against Celtic.

• After uncharacteristically conceding four goals in their last game, Goodwin knows United "can't give up the kind of opportunities against Celtic that we did against Motherwell.".

• He described United in-form striker Sam Dalby as being "invaluable" and believes "there is more to come" from the Wrexham loanee.
