Report as Celtic beat Dundee United 2-0 to extend their lead in the Scottish Premiership; Daizen Maeda opened the scoring after Auston Trusty had hit the bar; Reo Hatate came off the bench to wrap up

Celtic extended their Scottish Premiership lead to 16 points but were pushed all the way by Dundee United despite initially looking likely to cruise to victory. Daizen Maeda set the hosts on their way midway through the first half before substitute Reo Hatate's late second secured the points.

Right from the off Celtic took a firm grip of the ball and camped in United's half looking for any gap to exploit. They enjoyed 84% possession in that period alone, pinning their opponents in and ultimately deserved this win. The only frustration will be a failure to threaten Jack Walton nearly enough given their initial dominance.
