Dundee's German defender Thomas Konrad employs the tactics of a 1970s Saturday afternoon TV wrestler to halt the progress of Chris Erskine as he went bursting through the Dark Blues' half.

He made no attempt to play the ball but did manage to haul his opponent to the turf...and is rightly booked.

Fair enough, Ryan McGowan. The United defender has put himself about in a forceful fashion in the opening 20 minutes but simply dusted himself down after being caught with two heavy Dundee tackles in quick succession. Count to 10...

Good chance for Dundee with a free kick 25 yards out but Tankulic hammers it right into Utd wall.

"First boos of the afternoon ring out here at Celtic Park. The jeering reserved for the stewards with the forks who are bursting the beach balls."

"This could be a very long afternoon for Inverness as player of the year Stefan Johnansen blasts into the net after an inch-perfect cross from Izaguirre."

Ryan McGowan's long throw-ins from the right for Dundee United have the ballistic impact of Mons Meg in its prime, but so far the Dark Blues have managed to bravely put a head in the way to clear the danger.

Celtic double their lead through Stefan Johansen following a flowing move which slices Inverness down their right side. Emilio Izaguirre gallops down the left and his low centre is swept home by Johansen.

"This could get quite nasty today," warns BBC Sportsound commentator Liam McLeod.

"Ciftci's goal has fired United up. Dundee had looked the sharper side in the opening stages but Ciftci clinically taking advantage of Letheren's failure to clear the ball. He'll be a big loss if he doesn't accept new contract."

A big cheer for Russell Anderson as the soon-to-retire Aberdeen defender blocks a shot from Michael O'Halloran. Nothing in the way of clear chances at Pittodrie so far.

"Celtic are dominating things and have Inverness CT pinned inside their own half."

The home side are clearly in the mood here at Celtic Park - Tremarco clears a Virgil van Dijk effort off the line.

Chris Erskine clips a ball through for Nadir Ciftci to chase and he benefits from a horrible slip by Dundee goalie Kyle Letheren and the striker is able to stroll through and roll the ball into the visitors' net.

"Celtic Park erupts after just five minutes. Stefan Scepovic turns the ball into the net on a rare start. His fifth goal in just eight starts."

The Premiership champions break the deadlock with a goal of stunning simplicity. Stefan Johansen's free kick into the box is headed on by Virgil van Dijk and a combination of Stefan Scepovic and Nir Bitton finish the job. Scepovic is credited with the goal.

James Forrest scuttles down the right flank at a fair rate but his centre fails to trouble the Scottish Cup finalists.

A bright start by both sides at Celtic Park.

Here we go! Goals please and plenty of them...

"The sun is shining here at Celtic Park and the champions take to the pitch to a tremendous roar. Inverness provide the guard of honour."
