FT: Celtic 2-0 Dundee Utd
On January business, specifically Sam Dalby's position, Dundee United boss Jim Goodwin adds: "There's constant dialogue there between ourselves and Wrexham.
"Sam has been terrific, we believe he is going to stay here for the remainder of the season.
"There's still a lot of time left in the window but we have to take Wrexham at their word that Sam is going to stay here and continue his development."
On potential incomings, Goodwin says: "We've identified a couple of potential targets and we'll work hard behind the scenes to try and get one or two of those over the line."
FT: Celtic 2-0 Dundee Utd
Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin tells BBC Scotland: "The players definitely weren't at 100% in terms of energy levels so the game plan had to be about conserving energy.
"It was working for large parts. We're disappointed with the first goal, I think we cause our own problems. I don't know if there was a handball in there but Luke McCowan has the shot, Jack Walton makes the save and I think it takes a really bad bounce in front of him.
"The players kept going that was the really pleasing aspect, they didn't throw the towel in. We had one or two opportunities to put the ball into dangerous areas but none of those opportunities fell kindly to us in the box.
"We can't have too many complaints about the result, the players gave absolutely everything.
"We have to dust ourselves down over the next 48 hours and put a good team on the park to go and win the game on Saturday."

Kilmarnock have the weekend off but Motherwell, Celtic and United return to action on Saturday:
FT: Celtic 2-0 Dundee Utd
More from Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers on the absence of Nicolas Kuhn, who dropped out of the team just before kick-off.
"He felt something in the top of his thigh," he tells BBC Scotland. "He didn't feel he could risk it so we just need to see what that looks like."
FT: Celtic 2-0 Dundee Utd
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers tells BBC Scotland: "No matter how dominant you are you're going to have to defend for some of the spells.
"You have to deal with that and fairness to the players they did that really well. Then we get the second goal and put the game to bed.
"There are two teams playing in the game, you want to get into the areas. I think in the first half we could have crossed the ball a bit more.
"I can't fault the players, they're giving everything in what is a real demanding schedule. When you're the team having to take the game to the opponent, it takes a big big effort and I think the effort was there from the players.
"Once we weathered the storm we finished the game really well.
"I have to give huge credit to our players because to play how we want to play takes a lot of effort and energy and mobility.
"The game shows you all the time that you can't give very little and get a lot back, you have to give everything to the game."

The performance level certainly wasn't there for Motherwell tonight. But if you're going to play like that, avoiding defeat is a good habit.
That's also two clean sheets on the bounce now for Stuart Kettlewell's side.
Superb defending and goalkeeping secured a successive shutout in Ayrshire.

Celtic have scored 12 goals via substitutes in the Premiership this season, more than any other team.

Here's confirmation of the standings.
Despite feeling like they've dropped two points, Kilmarnock move up to ninth.
Celtic, as previously mentioned, are a million points clear and United remain third.
Motherwell now just three points off third after a hard-fought point.
FT: Kilmarnock 0-0 Motherwell
That's Kilmarnock's ninth game in the Premiership this season without scoring, more than any other side.
They had 492 passes in this game tonight, their most in a match this campaign. They put in 44 crosses and had 18 shots.
And yet only three shots hit the target, and none of them went in.

It's another step towards the title for Celtic, who enjoy a handsome lead that's very unlikely to be bridged.
They looked on course for a routine, dominant win at half-time, but credit must go to Dundee United who asked a lot of questions after the break.
They are clearly not third in the table by accident.
That said, what tonight may have highlighted is a need for more quality options out wide for Celtic.
The absence of Nicolas Kuhn clearly made a difference to Celtic's ability to cut their opponents open.

Celtic have now also kept a clean sheet in 17 of their 21 Premiership games.
A formidable defensive record.
FT: Celtic 2-0 Dundee Utd
Celtic are now 16 points clear.
Sixteen.
It's January.
The Kilmarnock players are incredibly frustrated. They should have won this game.
In the first half they had Brad Lyons' goal ruled out for offside, then their captain hit the bar amid other chances and good saves from Motherwell goalkeeper Aston Oxborough.
Motherwell, who were abysmal in the first half, at least came to the party after the break. They might even have stolen it when Stephen O'Donnell was played through near the end.
The defender put his shot wide though. Motherwell will grab the point and bolt back up the M77.
Image source, SNSA much-improved second-half display from Jim Goodwin's side made things nervy for Celtic, but their hard work was undone by a moment of quality from the hosts as Reo Hatate sealed the three points.
United limited Celtic in the opening 45 minutes before crafting a few chances of their own in the second.
Promising signs for Jim Goodwin as his side look to maintain third spot in the Premiership.

Derek McInnes can't believe it!
Kilmarnock work the ball down the right-hand side brilliantly and it's cut back to Jack Burroughs, but his shot is brilliantly blocked just past the post by Dan Casey.
Kilmarnock will be sick if this ends goalless.

Highlights: Kilmarnock 0-0 Motherwell
Kilmarnock's draw at home to Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership "feels like a defeat" after a host of missed chances, says manager Derek McInnes.
The home side dominated for most of the match but could not find a goal to put away a side whose best openings came against the run of play.
"In terms of how we set about the task, it was one-way traffic," McInnes told BBC Scotland.
"Draws should feel like defeats at home. I've always felt that since we came to Rugby Park and it's not a bad thing draws feel that way.
"It does feel like there was so much more to get from that game."
Kilmarnock bossed the early exchanges and only a combination of poor finishing, great goalkeeping and a little misfortune prevented them taking the lead.
Fraser Murray teed up Marley Watkins inside two minutes only for the striker to make a mess of his finish from 10 yards and pass up a big chance.
Motherwell goalkeeper Aston Oxborough produced a stunning save to keep out a Joe Wright volley, while at the other end Robby McCrorie made a smart stop from Tony Watt on a rare Motherwell attack.
The home side thought they had taken the lead when Murray's clever reverse pass found Brad Lyons, who curled home a lovely finish with the outside of the boot. The video assistant referee (VAR) intervened to rule the final pass was offside and the goal was chalked off.
Lyons was left cursing his luck again when his header came crashing off the bar just before the break.
Watt had another sight of the Killie goal and saw his strike stopped by the legs of McCrorie.
Oxborough produced another big save from Watkins to keep the scores level while substitute Stephen O'Donnell passed up a terrific chance to snatch an unlikely victory for the visitors late on.
Substitute Jack Burroughs nearly won it deep into stoppage time, only for his strike to deflect agonisingly wide as Killie had to settle for a point.
McInnes bemoaned the lack of attacking thrust from his side in the defeat to Ross County, and while they looked far more dangerous and created numerous chances against Motherwell, there is still a lingering sense they are lacking an out-and-out goalscorer.
Murray was once again a threat throughout, getting in behind the defence, creating openings for himself and his team-mates.
Those chances all went unconverted and this felt like a big opportunity missed for Killie to advance their top-six challenge.
Proven top-flight goalscorers certainly don't come cheap, but with Kyle Vassell and Innes Cameron out injured for two months, McInnes may well be trying to unearth a gem in the transfer market between now and the end of the month.
After ending a four-game winless run against Aberdeen, boss Stuart Kettlewell had hoped that would be the spark his side needed to put a run of form together.
That failed to materialise as his team put in a largely passive performance at Rugby Park.
The absence of a player of the quality of Lennon Miller – he fractured an ankle against Rangers on December 29 - would hurt any side in the league, and 'Well missed his influence and composure on the ball as they failed to exert authority in midfield.
What they did show was resilience to stay in the fight and the ability to eke out a point when playing below par is not to be underestimated.
Oxborough was the standout with some superb saves to keep Killie at bay and ensure his side left with a share of the spoils.
Kilmarnock deserved more from 'terrific' performance - McInnes
Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes: "We've played worse and won games. I thought we were terrific, it's hard to be critical. But it's our job to win games and find a way to score a goal.
"But we have a combination of the offside goal, the crossbar, good blocks and us being a bit rushed at times.
Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell: "Kilmarnock were the better side, they created the better chances and ours were few and far between. Although we did have a couple.
"They had control of the vast majority of the game. So you have to ask your team to stand strong. It's a second clean sheet on the bounce for us in a really difficult spell, with one more game to come before we get any kind of break."
Kettlewell admits Motherwell were second best
