Celtic lead at the break

Dundee Utd 1 Celtic 2

Celtic striker Craig Bellamy produced two clinical finishes either side of a Jim McIntyre equaliser to put the champions on course for the top of the Bank of Scotland Premier League.

The new hero of Celtic Park, who inspired them to a victory at Inverness Caledonian Thistle in midweek, put the visitors ahead with a stunning right-foot finish.

McIntyre gave bottom club United – who this week sacked Ian McCall – some hope with the leveller before Bellamy blasted home with an even better strike with his left foot.
