Dundee Utd2–2Celtic

Whenever United and Celtic meet you can normally expect a rousing encounter and this latest one proved no exception. If Celtic could claim the better of the exchanges in the first half, then the second period undoubtedly belonged to the men in tangerine. However, we might well have gone ahead in that first half when Peter Hinds lofted a flick on from Kevin Gallacher over the bar. Celtic meanwhile were unlucky to see a Coyne header strike the wrong side of the post before they took the lead with a 'Augentahler' style goal. A free-kick was laid in to the path of Chris Morris whose crashing drive went searing into the top left hand corner of the net.

Celtic's half-time lead wasn't to last long - 43 seconds to be precise. From the kick off we made progress down the right and a throw-in by Mixu Paatelainen caused total confusion in the Celtic defence. The ball was eventually laid back to Freddy van der Hoorn whose low drive from the edge of the box went through a ruck of players to beat Bonner. Now it was our turn to dominate and Peter Hinds shot straight at Bonner after substitute Hamish French had broken clear. As the tempo increased Derek Whyte, Paul Hegarty were both booked. With ten minutes left Celtic broke clear to score. Mike Galloway slung a diagonal ball upfield. Tommy Coyne beat Alex Cleland to the ball and knocked the ball into the far corner. A minute later Derek Whyte was ordered off after a professional foul on Kevin Gallacher and the drama took a further twist five minutes later. Substitute John Clark with virtually his first touch rose to head a Dave Bowman corner against the crossbar and Hamish French, our other substitute stooped to nod the ball over the line. The action was relentless to the end and there were further bookings for Paul McStay and Freddy Van Der Hoorn as both sides chased a winner. Yes, it was quite a game!
