Another puff-your-cheeks-out type of display from Celtic, as the Hoops dropped valuable points at home to Dundee United on Wednesday night.
Despite opening the scoring through Camilo Duran in the first half, Martin O’Neill’s side could only draw 2-2 against Jim Goodwin’s men.

Celtic are held to a draw against Dundee United – what went wrong?
On the ball, there were no issues with Sam Johnstone; it was steady, but there are question marks over how he conceded Celtic’s second.
Colby Donovan has signed a new contract recently and got better as the game went on at Parkhead. He was his typical aggressive self, but could have been much cleaner in the final third.
A strong display from Celtic’s back-up centre-back, who has had a few good games during Cameron Carter-Vickers’ recent absence.
That includes a brilliant last-ditch tackle when Dundee United raced through on goal when the score was 2-2.
Got beaten in the air for Dundee United’s first goal, but then he put the ball into the back of his own net for the opposition’s second.
Liam Scales prides himself on defending his penalty box and being aggressive. But this simply wasn’t good enough.
However, the Irish international levelled the score in the second half with a brilliant header, so he has to get plus points from that even though he was poor from a defensive aspect.
Created three chances during the game, and tried to attack Dundee United’s penalty area as much as possible before he was subbed off after 80 minutes.
Benjamin Nygren had a brilliant chance to score in the first half after a lovely flick from Kasper Hogh, but other than that, he couldn’t make the impact he would have liked. Subbed off after 80 minutes.
One of Celtic’s better midfielders. Winning the ball back. Feeding it forward and trying to keep the pressure on Dundee United.
A mixed game from Mika Baur. Poor in the first half, carelessly losing the ball, but he was better in the second and should have scored from close range after a brilliant ball from the lively Hassan.
Worked well with Hogh for Celtic’s opening goal, his 11th goal in 18 matches in all competitions; played better on the right than down the middle after he was moved there for the second half.
You can be critical of what Hogh has produced this season, but he had a fairly positive opening 45 minutes here before he was hooked.
Hogh played a key role in Duran opening the scoring, and was then involved in a brilliant move which Nygren nearly scored.
It wasn’t his fault that Celtic went 2-1 down at the break, which forced O’Neill to hook him off alongside Callum Osmand. His goal drought goes on.
Osmand has been lively this season, but this was one of his poorer games. Wasteful in the final third, losing the ball, and it wasn’t a surprise he was subbed off at half-time.
