He became Hearts' head coach in 2014, winning the Scottish Championship title in his first season. Neilson moved to Milton Keynes Dons during the 2016–17 season. He left Milton Keynes by mutual consent in January 2018, and was appointed manager of Dundee United in October 2018.

Robbie Neilson confirms huge news for Celtic game

Celtic will have the chance to virtually win the Scottish Premiership title, when they take to the field against Hearts, this weekend at Parkhead. The Hoops are leading the title race by 6 points with just 3 more league games left to be played and on top of that, they are also 19 goals ahead of the Rangers on goal difference. Thus, while not mathematically, the Hoops would be realistically crowned Champions of Scotland if they can get all three points against Robbie Neilson’s side.
