Match Report
Celtic recover from behind to draw with Dundee United and stay top
Celtic were pushed into a late fight at Celtic Park on Wednesday night and came away with a 2-2 draw against Dundee United. They had trailed in the second half before getting level.
Camilo Duran gave the home side the lead early on, around the 18th minute. Zac Sapsford pulled United level, and Neil Farrugia then put the visitors in front. Reports differ on how that second goal went in, with one describing a deflection off Liam Scales.
Celtic responded with a double change from manager Martin O'Neill. Scales made up for it in the 64th minute, rising to head Jota's cross past Jack Walton from eight yards.
The point keeps Celtic top of the table, though the Scotsman argued the night left O'Neill with more questions than answers. Dundee United leave Glasgow with a draw against the league leaders.
