Quote MessageThe intensity Celtic played at in the last 10 minutes of the half was incredible. When the ball goes out of play, they're sprinting to get it back instantly. They keep the momentum going. It must be so difficult for United, how do you live with that? The quality of Celtic's play has been breathtaking.

Quote MessageDundee Utd are in real trouble because Celtic are cutting them open at will. Kyogo has been incredible and his supporting cast are turning it on too.
HT: Dundee Utd 0-4
Respite for United at last as the whistle sounds.
After a promising start from the hosts, they capitulated with Kyogo Furuhashi netting a hat-trick and Jota adding Celtic's fourth.
Celtic netted three times in the final 11 minutes of that half. It's safe to assume they're heading back to the top of the table.
Jota
Celtic are absolutely rampant.
Quick, one-touch touching down the right leads to Matt O'Riley fizzing the ball across goal for Jota to take a touch and slot home.
Dundee Utd 0-3 Celtic

Former Dundee Utd striker on BBC Sportsound
Quote MessageThat is typical of United's defence right now. Everybody switched off. They were sleeping. Nobody had clocked Abada's run, everybody left him.
Kyogo Furuhashi
The Japan striker has his hat-trick...
This time it's a simple finish as Celtic slice United open. Matt O'Riley picks out Liel Abada, whose delivery from the right finds Kyogo all alone six yards out to fire into a gaping net.
Dundee Utd 0-2 Celtic
We're into seven minutes of first-half injury time after the lengthy stoppage for treatment to Joe Hart early on.
Can United keep the deficit at two before the break?
Dundee Utd 0-2 Celtic
United have battled manfully, but could find themselves on the end of a drubbing here if they're not careful.

Pat Bonner
Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound
Quote MessageWhat a finish. He doesn't take a second to think. Bang, top left-hand corner. Goalkeeper does not have a chance. The quality in that is incredible. Almost out of nothing.
Kyogo Furuhashi
What a goal!
Kyogo has his second in stunning style, stepping on to the ball 25 yards out and curling it first-time into top corner.
Carljohan Eriksson got a touch on it but was beaten by the power.
Dundee Utd 0-1 Celtic
Snappy build-up play from Reo Hatate and Callum McGregor tees up Matt O'Riley, whose shot doesn't have enough bend on it to trouble the United keeper.
Dundee Utd 0-1 Celtic
That's a peach of a pass from Reo Hatate.
The Celtic midfielder switches play with a 40-yard crossfield ball that drops at the feet of Liel Abada on the right flank.
The winger's delivery lets him down, though, as United survive.
Dundee Utd 0-1 Celtic
Nearly a leveller!
Scott McMann steams into Josip Juranovic just outside Celtic's box and Glenn Middleton pounces to crack the loose ball inches wide.
Promising stuff from the hosts.
Dundee Utd 0-1 Celtic

Quote MessageUnited have done well to weather the storm. They looked rocked after the goal, there was a five-minute period where it looked as though Celtic would get another one but they've come back into the game reasonably well.
Dundee Utd 0-1 Celtic
United's Dylan Levitt curls a free-kick towards the back post where Ross Graham meets it with a header that loops harmlessly over.
Dundee Utd 0-1 Celtic
Celtic swarm forward and have a four-on-two counter-attack.
Kyogo plays in Liel Abada down the right-hand channel and the Israeli's fierce effort is parried by United keeper Carljohan Eriksson.
Perhaps a pass would have been a better option from Abada.
