There was much more drama than anticipated in Celtic’s clash with Dundee United as top faced bottom in the SPFL.
With six goals and additional drama provided by the distant Nick Walsh somewhere in a VAR studio the fans were kept engaged throughout.
Sead Haksabanovic looked to have set Celtic on their way to a routine three points but by the 12th minute Celtic Park wasn’t a happy place after a lengthy VAR delay and hotly contested handball and penalty drew United level.

Haksabanovic put Celtic in front before half time but in the 87th minute it looked like the points would be shared when a cross/shot from Dylan Levitt evaded Joe Hart to find the net.
Celtic weren’t to be denied, in stoppage time substitutes Kyogo Furuhashi and Liel Abada scored to deliver full points and a seven point lead for Ange Postecoglou’s side.
