Celtic's Paul Hartley and Dundee United's Francisco Sandaza both scored their first-ever goals for their clubs as United and Celtic share the points in a tough, but entertaining game at Tannadice. Having most of the possession, Celtic scored first on fifty minutes as Hartley drilled home Nakamura's lay-off from the edge of the area. Dundee United equalized through Sandaza as he got on the end of a Craig Conway cross. For Celtic, new signing Marc Crosas, signed from Barcelona earlier this month was on the bench, but his debut will have to wait until next week.
The result keeps Celtic's unbeaten record intact, but the points are dropped - Celtic move to third spot, two points behind Rangers and Hamilton at the top of the table, the only two sides in Scotland so far without a defeat. Dundee United remain near the bottom; not the start to the season Craig Levein - or the United support - had in mind.
From what I heard on the radio it was an end-to-end affair. A well deserved point for United, and two points dropped for Celtic which could prove costly come April. However, it is only week two, so we wait with baited breath for another season.
ReplyDeleteWe definitely deserved the point today. Maybe should have been given a penalty for the challenge on O'Donovan but hey-ho, will take a point.
ReplyDeleteAt least we are off the bottom of the league...
An entertaining game alright. More a case of a point gained for United and two lost for Celtic. Ach we keep saying it, but it's only the second game of the season, plenty of time for improvement.
