Dundee United 1-4 Celtic
Champions Celtic had the chance to extend their lead at the top of the table to 6 points in Friday’s clash at Tannadice. Meanwhile, Dundee United – with just two wins all season – were desperately trying to stay in touch with next closest relegation rivals Kilmarnock.
It would turn out to be a relatively straightforward night for Celtic, Leigh Griffiths opened the scoring after 20 minutes as he latched on to a deflected Tom Rogic pass to slide the ball through the legs of Eiji Kawashima for his 50th goal for the club – an impressive return from just 86 appearances, only 60 of which have been starts.
