    Celtic are playing well and creating chances, so I don't think John Kennedy will be too worried. But, if they don't take one of their chances soon, he may have to change things

    This is a difficult pitch, but Celtic have passed the ball well and their movement has been great. But, if Celtic don't put it to bed, United will grow in confidence and will fancy their chances of scoring a winner

    From Celtic's perspective, it's been much huffing and puffing, but they're yet to blow the house down

    United have defended really well here. You can't fault their work rate. Even the strikers have been back there defending

  6. HALF-TIME Dundee United 0-0 Celticpublished at 12:49 Greenwich Mean Time 7 March 2021

    Celtic have done their best to thwart them, but as it stands, Rangers will be crowned Scottish champions after this game.

    The visitors are certainly creating chances, but United have a resolute defence and have survived somewhat by the skin of their teeth.

  7. YELLOW CARD Shankland (Dundee United)published at 45+2

    Dundee United 0-0 Celtic

    A late flurry of bookings ends with United striker Lawrence Shankland for a bit of dissent.

  8. YELLOW CARD Elyounoussi (Celtic)published at 45+1

    Dundee United 0-0 Celtic

    Mohamed Elyounoussi is next to go into the referee's book for a late challenge, but it's United's turn to make nothing of the set-piece.

  9. YELLOW CARD Smith (Dundee United)published at 43mins

    Dundee United 0-0 Celtic

    United's Liam Smith finds himself in the book as he wipes out Diego Laxalt trying to thwart his full-back counterpart.

    Celtic fail to make anything of the resulting free-kick.

    I think Celtic seem to be playing with a freedom - maybe because they feel the pressure is off. I've seen them pass it well, but not this well, despite the condition of the pitch

    Dundee United 0-0 Celtic

    Another chance missed from Celtic as Mohamed Elyounoussi sends a dangerous cross to the front post.

    Odsonne Edouard fails to find a touch, but credit to Mark Reynolds for putting the striker under pressure and putting him off.

  12. GREAT SAVE!published at 36mins

    Dundee United 0-0 Celtic

    Kristoffer Ajer strolls out of defence like a latter-day Beckenbauer and sets up David Turnbull 20 yards from the United goal.

    However, goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist spreads himself well to tip the powerful drive wide.

    What a chance. It was a great move and brilliant play from Edouard. I don't know how Laxalt hasn't hit the target there. He had a huge amount of space to aim for

  14. CLOSE!published at 33mins

    Dundee United 0-0 Celtic

    Celtic should surely be ahead!

    A clever backheel from Odsonne Edouard gives Mohamed Elyounoussi the chance to roll the ball into the path of the unmarked Diego Laxalt, but the left-back powers his drive wastefully into the side-netting.

    The way the game is panning out, Celtic are desperate to get the first goal. If they do, you can see Dundee United's heads dropping. But, as long as it stays 0-0, United will grow more into this game

    United are reducing Celtic to long-range efforts at the moment and Callum McGregor's latest effort is straight at goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist.

    United need to play direct more. They're not going to knock the ball about and play Celtic off the field. They need to stretch the game more

  18. Postpublished at 28mins

    Dundee United 0-0 Celtic

    United appear to have weathered the storm and Celtic goalkeeper Scott Bain gets himself in a fankle on the edge of his own box before scrambling clear.

    That was a good opportunity for McNulty on the inside right of the box. He should at least be hitting the target

  20. Postpublished at 24mins

    Dundee United 0-0 Celtic

    Lawrence Shankland finds a bit of space behind Celtic as he finds Marc McNulty through on goal, but his Scotland strike partner makes a mess of his shot across the face of goal and it bobbles well wide.

    United have to make the most of what few chances they are creating.
