DUNDEE UNITED have finally turned up to play at Parkhead but Celtic still lead at half time through Daizen Maeda’s first half strike.
And there’s been some major drama before kick off with Nicolas Kuhn replaced by Yang in the named starting line-up just minutes before kick off.
Celtic can open up a whopping SIXTEEN point lead with a win over Dundee United.
Jim Goodwin‘s side are third after their own derby win and just six points off Philippe Clement‘s team – a gap which can obviously be reduced to three with a win at Parkhead.
But that’s a result that hasn’t been achieved since Boxing Day 1992.
The Tangerines have managed 12 draws in the east end of Glasgow within that time – a ratio of one every four games.
