Brendan Rodgers put Celtic's goalless draw against Dundee United into season-long context as the Hoops will celebrate Christmas Day nine points ahead of Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

In his first game at Tannadice as Celtic boss, the Northern Irishman watched his much-changed side dominate possession for the vast majority of the game but they could not find a way past a resolute United defence.
