Celtic back with 3-0 win over Dundee United

FT Dundee United 0 Celtic 3

Celtic bounced back from their harrowing Champions League defeat to AC Milan with a comfortable victory at Tannadice – but it did not come without controversy.

Chris Sutton helped himself to a double – one from the spot – and Stilian Petrov also hit the net to compound Dundee United’s misery after getting nothing from Hugh Dallas.

Celtic squandered many more chances – particularly a sitter for Juninho – but that came after Dundee United had seen three good penalty claims rejected by the referee.

Dallas waved away more United penalty appeals when the ball hit Agathe’s thigh in the area. The controversial referee raised ironic cheers from the home fans when he then booked Petrov for a foul on Robson. Lennon was also cautioned for dissent.

O’Neill replaced Hartson with Ross Wallace in the 73rd minute and moments later Camara with Paul Lambert but the game had died at the interval.

Petrov could have also struck a double in the 77th minute when Sutton delicately played him through but he crashed his left-foot shot into the crowd behind the goal.
