Under different circumstances, we would applaud, or stand in silence, to mark the passing of Jim McLean, the former Dundee United manager, who died on Boxing Day. McLean’s achievements in the Scottish game are eclipsed by few, perhaps only Jock Stein and Alex Ferguson. His team United the country with wins on the European stage that could scarcely be dreamed of now.
During his term, United received an accolade from Uefa ahead of a Celtic game. Post-match, he spoke warmly of the Celtic support, a generous moment. I am glad United visit Celtic Park to mark his passing today, it is just a pity we are not all there to share it.
Live updates will appear below from 15:00.

That’ll be the first half done and dusted.
Good drive, intensity and all that good stuff.
lovely celtic
Good Celtic – if only our strikers could finish like the midfielders we would be 4 up.
We have a habit of hitting it straight at keepers
Apart from one nasty one on Frimpong, fewer hammer throwing tackles from United today.
HT 2-0 hoops same again 2nd half please COYBIG
Griff & Soro stood out for me 2st half.
We’ve been linked with the Utd goalie .His kicking is poor
One of Turnbull’s quieter games too
I never saw tommy burns or the maestro play but looking at soro and turnbull, I get the gist !
Well that was a joy to watch
Really was a beauty of a goal from Soro. Could watch that reply all afternoon.
DT not too shabby either. Is that 3 in 3 for DT?
2-0 HT.
What an enjoyable first half. There is no doubt we are playing with a different mindset.
We are certainly building for the future 10 or no 10.
Well done Celtic. COYBIG
Excellent performance so far. And the good thing is there is room for improvement.
Griff and Eddie could have had a goal.
Frimpong, Laxalt and McGregor all wasted opportunities after getting to the bye line.
Great half.
Some lovely interplay and movement and could and should have had more.
HH
Does anyone think those who leave their seats early at the match do so when they are virtually viewing? 😉
Excellent first half, keep the foot down.
Julienne is the only concern so far, headers straight to United players and a sliced clearance for a corner.
IMO the big differences to three weeks ago are;
Laxalt, Soro, Turnbul, and the Griffith/Edouard partnership.
We are moving forward with more speed and determination.
Christie isnt in the game today.
Team playing with much more confidence
Good first half.turnbull excellent and great goal.good strike from soro tho keeper at fault.
Big Ajer makin good runs.again more composure with crosses and we’l get much chances.

Ha, no need, the virtual pub is only a few metres away.
HH.
Absolutely terrific performance in that first half. Are we finally back?

The header you reference should never have been back into the middle of the park. A little amateurish.
Impressive first half performance. some good football , two great goals .
If our crossing was even half decent we would score twice as many goals.
Dareen O’dea should get a job on Catchphrase..Say what you see.
He is no worse (or better ) than the majority of pundits though. I honestly cant think of one that provides thought provoking insight
Excellent first half. Griff/Soro looking very good.
BACK TO BASICS – GLASS HALF FULL on 30TH DECEMBER 2020 3:19 PM
Largely joking but ….
Are Scottish refs drilled to get in the way of Celtic players?
———-
It’s no joke. Well observed. Does my head in.

Good first half.turnbull excellent and great goal.good strike from soro tho keeper at fault.
……………………………….
Bullshit.
Another couple in 2nd will boost confidence
Good first half bhoys
The new S and T. Soro and Turnbull.
Very good so far.
I’d like to see the strikers on the score sheet second half.
If Barkas had conceded the first goal as the DU keeper, he would have been slaughtered
Great shot, and swerve, keeper poor though
Final ball from wide areas is very poor.
Please keep Soro and Turnbull in place for Saturday Neil!
Turnbull is a very good player
Celtic kick off into the Merchant City end. 😁
Julien in serious pain after clearing of the line
