Former Scotland manager on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageCallum McGregor was allowed to run 40 yards without having to beat anyone there. Then he gets to have a shot at goal that goes inches wide. You cannot allow that.

The game has livened up now.
Callum McGregor flashes a shot wide for Celtic.
Then at the other end goalkeeper Joe Hart is caught napping and Dundee United cause some nervy moments just outside the Celtic box, but they can't get the ball in a good position to shoot.

YELLOW CARDpublished at 30 mins
Dundee United 0-1 Celtic
Reo Hatate is a lucky boy not to be sent off. He goes in with his studs up on Kieran Freeman.
Referee John Beaton, though, gives him just a yellow card.

Kevin McDonald eventually is ready to come on to replace Ian Harkes. But that was a good three minutes United played with only 10 men there.
Fortunately for them, Celtic did not make their numerical advantage count.

Dundee United's Ian Harkes is sitting on the floor shaking his head as he receives treatment. His body language suggests his Scottish Cup quarter final might be coming to an end much sooner than manager Tam Courts would like.
He's back up but making his way up the tunnel. For now, United are playing a man down with Kevin McDonald not yet ready to come on.

Craig Levein
Former Scotland manager on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageIt looks like Daizen Maeda has got the speed on Kieran Freeman, we could see that in a few situations there. If that is the case, I'd be trying to get the ball out to him to get a one-on-one situation.

Reo Hatate pounces on a loose ball outside the box, but it lacks any real power and it's an easy save for Dundee United goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist.

Dundee United 0-1 Celtic
Celtic, as you would expect, are knocking the ball about with a bit of a spring in their step now.
Dundee United aren't exactly under the cosh in terms of chances, but they're struggling to get on the ball for any length of time.

Craig Levein
Former Scotland manager on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageThe keeper goes down to save it and there's a huge deflection. It is a training ground routine though, Callum McGregor moves on the edge of the box to open his body up for the shot. It's a good strike but I'm not sure it would have beaten Benjamin Siegrist without the deflection.
GOAL Dundee United 0-1 Celticpublished at 19:57 Greenwich Mean Time 14 March 2022
Callum McGregor
Celtic take the lead with their first shot on target.
The corner is taken short, Callum McGregor collects the ball on the edge of the box, and he hammers it low.
It appears to take a big deflection but the Celtic captain will definitely be claiming it.

PENALTY APPEALpublished at 5 mins
Dundee United 0-0 Celtic
Dundee United have a appeal for a penalty as Marc McNulty wrestles with Carl Starfelt then hits the deck in the box.
Referee John Beaton has a look but is unimpressed, believing the Dundee United man could have stayed on his feet.

Dundee United 0-0 Celtic
Nicky Clark chips the free-kick into the Celtic box, but it's well defended.
Celtic break on the counter attack at pace and Daizen Maeda, rather outrageously, goes for goal from far out on the left, and he's not too far away from goal with the ball just drifting over.
