  1. Dundee Utd 2-0 Celtic

    Celtic are calling on James Forrest and Junior Adamu to turn this around. Benjamin Nygren and Reo Hatate are off.

  2. Dundee Utd 2-0 Celtic

    Make that three. A corner picks out Luke McCowan and his volley is claimed by the keeper.

  3. Dundee Utd 2-0 Celtic

    Celtic have had two shots in this second half.

  4. Dundee Utd 2-0 Celtic

    Zac Sapsford, whose last home goal was the winner against Celtic in December, is on for Neil Farrugia.

  5. Dundee United 2-0 Celtic

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    It's not as if Celtic have made great chances in this second half. It's been a real struggle for them.

  6. Dundee Utd 2-0 Celtic

    Vicko Sevelj has a close-range header saved. If he goes either side it's three. Incredible.

  7. 'Everything is bobbling for United'

    Dundee United 2-0 Celtic

    Mark Reynolds
    Former Dundee United defender on BBC Sportsound

    Dundee United have scored two fantastic goals from open play.

    A fantastic strike, he does get the deflection but it seems to be one of those days when everything is bobbling for United and they won't be complaining.

  8. Dundee United 2-0 Celtic

    Our mates at Opta reckon the home side have a 86% chance of winning this.

    United fans are wanting me to shut up now.

  9. 'Two goes at it'

    Dundee United 2-0 Celtic

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    Reo Hatate's gone into the right-back position, failed in his defensive duties up against Will Ferry, who beats him too easily.

    When that ball's cut back they have two goes at it. It goes through bodies, goalkeeper no chance.

  10. goal

    GOAL Dundee Utd 2-0 Celtic

    Emmanuel Agyei

    Emmanuel AgyeiSNS

    Huge!

    Max Watters' goal-bound shot is blocked, but Emmanuel Agyei is there to fire in from 20-odd yards on a bobbling pitch.

    Celtic have a serious, serious job on their hands.

  11. 'Lucky man'

    Dundee United 1-0 Celtic

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    The goalkeeper must've taken his eye off the ball. It comes off him, it hits the post, hits the line and spins back into play.

    Oh, he's a lucky man.

  12. CLOSE!

    Dundee Utd 1-0 Celtic

    Oh my word. That's as close as it gets.

    Alex Maynard-Brewer spills Reo Hatate's shot, it bounces off the post then on the goal line.

    The United keeper gets away with one. Big time.

  13. Dundee Utd 1-0 Celtic

    Colby Donovan can't continue. Luke McCowan will replace him. Interesting.

    Looks like Reo Hatate will drop in at right-back.

  14. Dundee Utd 1-0 Celtic

    Colby Donovan has been injured by an advertising board after stretching to reach a ball at the byeline.

    He'll need some treatment.

  15. Dundee Utd 1-0 Celtic

    Remember, Dundee United have lost a league high 22 points from winning positions in the Scottish Premiership this season.

    Celtic have recovered 13 points from losing positions - the joint most of any club.

  16. 'Celtic have work to do'

    Dundee United 1-0 Celtic

    Chris Sutton
    Former Celtic striker on Sky Sports

    How big a goal could that be?

    United were patient in the build-up. It's not a great connection from Ferry, he choked it into the floor.

    Celtic have work to do.

  17. Dundee Utd 1-0 Celtic

    Celtic captain Callum McGregor makes way with Kelechi Iheanacho as Martin O'Neill throws on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Sebastian Tounekti.

  18. Dundee United 1-0 Celtic

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    They've got to be bit more risk-taking now, Celtic. When they get into a position, play that ball forward quicker.

  19. Dundee Utd 1-0 Celtic

    Colby Donovan has had an afternoon to forget. As Celtic attempt to respond, the young full-back shanks a ball straight out.

  20. Dundee United 1-0 Celtic

    Mark Reynolds
    Former Dundee United defender on BBC Sportsound

    It's an absolutely great goal from Dundee United. It's the first time they've put a ball in the box that's really asked a question of Celtic.

    It bobbles up past two Dundee United strikers but gets to the back stick and there's no mistake there. It's a great finish.
