Dundee United were miles better than Paul Hartley's troops today.
Summary
Aberdeen go top of Premiership
Celtic second with their game off
Wins for Inverness, Hamilton and Kilmarnock
Bottom three all lose

It's game over at Tannadice and what a start to 2015, just the eight goals to get you going on this New Year day.

Greg Stewart slips a lovely ball into the box and Luka Tankulic dinks it brilliantly over Radoslaw Cierzniak, I doubt it's much consolation for the visiting fans though.

Ryan on Facebook: Thought United would win but in a much closer affair. Being a Hibee this result has no bearing on me except that this is the same United team we outplayed in the League Cup when we lost on penalties, which is a positive.
A cup half full kind of guy is Ryan.

Aidan Connolly curls an effort wide of the post, United are far from finished here with around five minute to play.

Sub Charlie Telfer makes it six for the hosts. Gary Mackay-Steven's attempted cross makes its way to Telfer and he provides a great low finish into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.
We reckon this is the first time United have scored six goals against their city rivals. Sore one for the Dens men.

Ryan Hawes on Facebook: Can't blame the Dundee players. When you have such a long way to travel on away day, fatigue can play a part and these things can happen...
Ryan may not be totally serious...
