It is the first time in six years that Bolton have faced Scottish opponents in England. In August 1998 Celtic came to the Reebok Stadium in a testimonial for long serving Wanderers defender Jimmy Phillips to fight out a 1-1 draw. For Dundee United it marks a mini tour of Lancashire as they are also set to face Burnley at Turf Moor over the summer.
