Live Commentary
Time:90'- Dundee United
- Celtic
90+3' The whistle goes and Dundee United seal their first win over Celtic in over a decade!- 90+1' Nail-biting times for United fans - there'll be a minimum of three minutes added on.
90' GOAL!! Another United corner and another goal, this time for Darren Dods! Once again Celtic's marking is very lax, and Dods makes up for conceding the earlier penalty with that bullet header!
87' McGinn blasts a strike into the roof of the net, but the flag was already up for offside.- 86' Fox curls in a corner for Celtic but it's over everyone and United can clear their lines for now.
- 83' GOAL!! United send in a corner and Jon Daly flicks a header past Zaluska to equalise! That makes up for his earlier miss. What a way to mark your return back from injury!
82' Scott McDonald is replaced by McGinn for the final 10 minutes or so.- 81' Webster appears to give Robson a bash in the back of the head as they tussle for a set piece, but the referee rules in the United man's favour.
- 79' McGeady sends Kovacevic one way then the other but his eventual cross can't find a team-mate.
- 77' McDonald turns swiftly and heads for goal, but he's flagged for offside despite his best efforts to stay in play.
- 76' This is a good response from United. Can they keep this up without exposing themselves on the break as they clamour for an equaliser?
74' The free-kick flies in from the right wing and Dods heads it back across for DALY... Headed over the bar from close range! What a first touch that would have been. To be fair to the Irishman he had to react quickly, but he'll be gutted.- 73' Just before United take a free-kick in the Celtic half, Casalinuovo is replaced by Jon Daly.
- 72' GOAL!! Robson slots a cool finish into the bottom corner to score against his old club and give Celtic the lead!
- 70' Swanson battles for the ball valiantly but he takes on one man too many and Celtic break forward. They're in the United box and Dods sticks a foot out and trips Robson... PENALTY!! Robson will take the spot-kick himself...
- 69' Good challenge by Fox on the wing and the pair exchange a few choice words.
- 69' McGeady drives towards the box once more but his pass for N'Guemo just runs in front of the Cameroon midfielder.
- 67' Goodwillie turns Hinkel inside-out and finds Casalinuovo at the near post... the striker fails to get a touch on it. Think he'd just strayed offside anyway.
- 66' A loose pass down the line from Myrie-Williams goes behind Kovacevic and Samaras gets it. He tries to launch the counter but he just took it out of play as he started his run.
- 65' From a throw-in in the United final third, Celtic play it all the way back to Zaluska. The crowd does not approve.
- 63' Double switch for United: Cadamarteri and Conway replaced by Goodwillie and Swanson.
- 62' Forget that, it's suddenly gone end-to-end again! Robson finds Samaras out wide with a neat reverse pass, and the ball is fired across the face of goal but McDonald can't get his toe on it. No matter, the offside flag was up anyway.
- 60' Once again, after an open start to the half the game has become a bit scrappy. Samaras is penalised for a foul on Cadamarteri.
- 58' First change for Celtic, and it's Georgios Samaras coming on in place for the misfiring Marc-Antoine Fortune.
- 57' Barry Robson bulldozes his way thorugh to the edge of the box, but his strike rebounds off a United defender. Robson had several team-mates screaming for the pass there.
- 55' Mcdonald and Dods collide as the striker tries to knock the ball past him. McDonald got the worst of it, he got Dods's shoulder right in the face, but the referee gives a goal kick.
- 54' Hinkel sends in a cross that's over Fortune's head. The striker didn't even bother trying to run for it!
- 53' United's corner to the far post is headed back across goal for CASALINUOVO... Headed off the bar! Unlucky for the Argentine striker!
- 52' Buaben fancies a go from distance... tipped over the bar by Zaluska!
- 51' Fox's delivery runs to the far post. Fired back across goal and Weaver is quick off his line to smother Fortune's shot!
- 50' That chance for United has sparked Celtic into action. N'Guemo is fouled and Celtic send men up for the set piece.
- 49' Myrie-Williams turns and bombs towards goal. He fires a daisy-cutting low shot that flashes past the foot of Zaluska's post!
- 48' Bright start to the half from United, but they're still struggling to get in behind the Celtic back four.
- 47' Hinkel shepherds a ball down the channel out for a goal kick.
- 46' Celtic kick off and the second half is underway!
HT The rain has started to fall again on Tayside, though not anywhere near as badly as it was earlier in the day. Could make the second half pretty interesting.- 45+1' The Dundee United free-kick is over the bar for a goal kick and the first half comes to a close.
45' United clear and Myrie-Williams leads another break. He's hauled down by Loovens, who gets a booking!- 44' Fortune goes down running after a ball with Webster behind him, and the United players aren't happy with the foul. Nevertheless, Celtic won another corner from the free-kick.
- 43' The corner is headed clear by Dods and Crosas's second ball is also repelled.
- 41' Dods deflects a ball in behind for a corner. Can Celtic make their dominance count before half-time?
- 39' Hinkel does brilliantly to get into the box at the byline but he goes for the shot rather than pick out Fortune or McDonald and Weaver tips it away.
- 39' Fortune can shoot on the turn here... blocked and cleared by Dods.
- 37' Celtic push forward again and Hinkel tries to fire a ball across the face but Fortune can't get a telling touch.
- 36' Fortune comes deep for the ball as Celtic play from one flank to the other. McGeady's cross comes in from the right and McDonald fails to get a connection with his attempted volley.
- 35' Craig Levein is screaming something truly unrepeatable on the touchline.
- 33' Good spell this for United. Hinkel is fortunate to win a goal kick off Conway.
- 32' Conway digs out a decent cross but Zaluska is strong off his line to punch clear.
- 31' McGeady dribbles across through the centre of the park, but his pass for Fortune is short.
- 30' Plenty of possession in midfield for Celtic, but United are keeping them at bay for the time being.
- 28' This time it's Danny Fox, but the same result - curled high over the bar.
- 28' Dods commits to the sliding tackle and he catches Robson. Yet another dead ball chance for the Bhoys.
- 27' Celtic try a quick free-kick that doesn't come off and Myrie-williams charges forward with the ball. He only makes it as far as the 18-yard line before he loses the ball, but his pace could really damage Celtic if they aren't careful.
- 26' Crosas sends a corner to the near post but it's headed away with ease.
- 25' McGeady slaloms his way through two men and cuts a ball back for Fortune, but the striker tried to take the extra touch and couldn't fully get his shot away.
- 25' Just over of a quarter of the way through this match, and it's been very open thus far. Someone must surely open the scoring soon.
- 24' Dods dispossesses McDonald as the striker was looking to run into the area.
- 23' Conway fires in a cross from deep that Caldwell can't fully clear, but Cadamateri is penalised for a foul and Celtic survive.
- 22' McGeady hares down the left again and he is fortunate to win a free-kick when he was already stretching to recover from a heavy touch.
- 20' Myrie-Williams sneaks a ball down the channel for Cadamateri, but Zaluska is quick off his line to deny the shot. Nice football from United.
- 19' Robson makes tracks down the right but skews his cross into the stand.
- 17' Fortune presses the United defenders and they have to scramble the ball clear. Good pressure from the French striker.
- 16' It will be Robson to STRIKE... The shot curled and dipped but not quite enough to stop it sailing over the bar!
- 15' The referee blows up for a foul on McDonald. It's about 30 yards from goal but central. Robson and Fox are standing over the ball.
- 14' Weaver punches the corner clear and Myrie-Williams leads the break! He slips a ball through to Conway, but Loovens makes an all-important sliding challenge.
- 13' McGeady jinks down the left and wins a corner off Kovac.
- 12' No, there is no danger at all and Celtic easily clear... in fact they can break here, with Fortune leading the charge! He does well but his final ball into the box doesn't find a white shirt and the hosts can breathe again.
- 11' Cadamarteri wins a corner for Dundee United... their first of the day and there could be danger here.
- 8' Oooh! Hinkel tests Weaver with a stinging shot from 25 yards out! It just opened up for the Celtic man then... good save to keep the score level.
- 6' Oh dear, that's a bit naughty from Kovacevic, who piles into McGeady... no card though, just a free-kick to the hosts.
- 4' Robson gets to the by-line for Celtic now, but he ends up running it out of play... goal kick to Dundee United.
- 3' Here come United on their first real foray forward... it comes to Cadamarteri, but he can't make anything of it and the move breaks down.
1' Here we go! Underway in a sunny Dundee!- - Today's referee is D McDonald (Scotland).
- - Celtic: Zaluska, Hinkel, Caldwell, Loovens, Daniel Fox, McGeady, N'Guemo, Crosas, Robson, Fortune, McDonald. Subs: Cervi, Naylor, Samaras, McGinn, Flood, Thompson, Caddis
- - The teams are in... Dundee Utd: Weaver, Kovacevic, Webster, Dods, Dixon, Myrie-Williams, Buaben, Gomis, Conway, Cadamarteri, Casalinuovo. Subs: Banks, Dillon, Daly, David Robertson, Swanson, Shala, Goodwillie
- - Victory for United would see them draw level on points with third-placed Hibernian, while a Celtic win will be enough to send them back to the top of the table, having been knocked off by Rangers yesterday.
- - Dundee United welcome Celtic to Tannadice Park hoping to keep up the pressure at the top of the SPL table.

First game back at the deechie in a long time. On this performance would watch them every week. last 15 mins in first half were bit poor but the rest of the match UTD pressed, defended and countered well...............while also scoring a couple of decent goals! Gulf in class and total domination? what game was mowbary watchin?
Somebody please tell me why Celtic fans think they have the right to win every game they play? Couple of bad games, few draws and the worlds fallin in. Call yourself supporters?glory hunters more like that travel from all over Scotland to watch........ sorry, expect Celtic to win. Thats whats wrong with Scottish Football, support your local team and give them your gate cash. This does mean supporting them through the good and BAD times when funnily enough they need the supporters the most! The sooner Celtic and Rangers either get out of Scottish Football or recognise the SPL is a decent league and cut their cloth to suit the better for every other team in Scotland.Here is a list of priorities for the board of directors. 1st: Profit. 2nd: Anything that increases the chance of profit.
Fans upset? Directors are not personal counselors, they are directors. Their motivation is profit.
celtic are very poor this season . its not the managers fault its the players we need a complete clear out.get as much as we can for wanabe stars and start again then rebuild for next season as i fear this season is nearly over.[i hope am wrong]
Did I say something wrong?
From Aberdeen Fan well done United this should show all concerned that it is not a given right that old firm should win, it's a game and would not be a disaster if another team outwith the Glasgow mafia won leagues more often.
yet again this season celtic show a distinct lack of direction. how long are the board prepared to put up with a manager who has no idea of how to organise a team? this manager has to go now, how many times do we have to put up with the celtic equivalent of PLG and George Burley?
there is no spirit, no defence, a complete lack of cohesion, in short there is nothing good or even acceptable about this team and that all stems from the manager. i firmly believe that mowbray has already lost the dressing room. can you imagine how low morale is in there? mowbray has to carry the can for this as these are virtually the same bunch of players who have brought succes to the club over the last few years.
not for the first time i would advocate offering the managers job to trapattoni on a short term contract in order to stabilise the performances on the park whilst giving the directors a reasonable time to find someone who would actually bring something positive to the team.
when mowbray came here i really thought it was a good move and that he would bring success on a par with strachan. how wrong i was, i believe every manager should be given a chance, but there are limits. we're still in november and we are in effect out of three competitions. mowbray has to go before christmas to give celtic any chance of salvaging anything from this titanic of a season. how much has he spent this season so far? look at the league table rangers with all their problems are 2 points clear with a game in hand! this is simply beyond the realms of bad luck, injuries, bad refereeing decisions or any other excuse he wants to come up with. Celtic's poor showing is down to the managers ineptitude and glaring lack of ability and it cannot be allowed to continue. mowbray must go and if he has any cahonnes whatsoever, he needs to put his hands up admit he's f*cking useless and leave.

enjoy !

Madness absolute madness. Where were the Celtic defence?
