Craig Easton
Former Dundee Utd midfielder on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageUnited were mentally scarred from the 7-0 Alkmaar game. What does this now do them? This is worse and scary thing is it could have been a lot more.

Wow. Just wow.
Celtic reclaim top spot with an incredible rout.
Kyogo Furuhashi and Liel Abada both hit hat-tricks, while Jota, Josip Juranovic and Carl Starfelt also netted.
United fall to their heaviest home defeat - and a fifth straight loss - to sit two points adrift at the bottom with a -16 goal difference.

Dundee Utd 0-9 Celtic
United are on course for their heaviest-ever home defeat.
The previous milestone was 7-0 at home to Morton in 1975.
Pity any United fan who was at that game and also this afternoon's horror show.

Dundee Utd 0-9 Celtic
Celtic are desperate to hit double figures here as captain Callum McGregor curls one narrowly wide.
This is horrible, nightmarish stuff for a United side who were already low on confidence before this pummelling.

Dundee Utd 0-9 Celtic
So close to a 10th for Celtic!
David Turnbull challenges the United keeper and the ball loops on to on the goal-line then bounces out.
The visitors keep up the siege and Carl Starfelt has a goal-bound header blocked.

Celtic have matched the Reds' 9-0 drubbing of Bournemouth yesterday.
There are still six minutes plus injury time left at Tannadice - so can Celtic go at least one better?

Steven Thompson
Former Dundee United striker on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageWe've seen a lot of quality goals today, but that is just poor, poor marking from Dundee United, a free header in the middle of the box.

Carl Starfelt
The Sweden defender gets in on the act, expertly diverting his header from a corner into the net.
Not for the first time today, United keeper Carljohan Eriksson is helpless.

Steven Thompson
Former Dundee United striker on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageIt's a fabulous ball from Aaron Mooy into Daizen Maeda who does really well to spin, but again, no one for Dundee United in the middle marking Liel Abada. It's a lovely finish, all made by Mooy's pass. The kind you make in a training game.

Liel Abada
The winger has his hat-trick!
Abada applies a delicious dinked finish over the onrushing keeper after Daizen Maeda's cross-shot arrives at his feet.

Josip Juranovic's eyes light up as the ball falls to him on the edge of the box.
The Celtic full-back slashes his shot off target, though.

Both sides have rung the changes amid the flurry of second-half goals, with David Turnbull, Aaron Mooy, Daizen Maeda and James Forrest on for the visitors in place of Matt O'Riley, Reo Hatate, Kyogo and Jota.
United have brought on Jamie McGrath, Craig Sibbald, Nicky Clark and Ilmari Niskanen.
Making way for the hosts are Archie Meekison, Ian Harkes, Steven Fletcher and Glenn Middleton.

Dundee Utd 0-7 Celtic
United have now shipped seven goals for the second time in four games.
Having been battered 7-0 by AZ Alkmaar, are they set for an even heavier defeat today?
Celtic still have just under half an hour to inflict more damage...

Liel Abada
The Israeli has his second.
Again, it's a tap-in as United's defence falls to pieces.
Jota's reverse pass frees Reo Hatate down the left and his low delivery is harder to miss for Abada.

Dundee Utd 0-6 Celtic
Almost a consolation for the hosts.
Steven Fletcher adroitly takes the ball down on his chest at the back post then rattles a shot off the foot of the upright.
Sums up United's day, really.

Josip Juranovic
From a botched free-kick routine, Celtic hit the half dozen.
Matt O'Riley's set-piece on the edge of the box hits team-mate Kyogo crouching in front of the United ball, but Juranovic bounds on to the rebound and slams it into the bottom corner.

Pat Bonner
Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageOh my word. Almost perfect build-up. The desire to get in there from Abada. The ability, the passing, the movement of the ball is all there, but the desire most of all.

Liel Abada
It's so easy for Celtic as Callum McGregor plays in Jota and his cutback is tapped in by Abada for his second goal of the season.
