Review
Celtic put a lot of pressure on the Arabs goal right from kick off with Hughes barrelling through. On 37 minutes they won a corner taken by Young with a fine ball into the penalty area. Fraser trying to head out only managed to flick it past his goalkeeper. McNeill and Gemmell controlled the Dundee Utd attacks and celtic whilst having the greater percentage of play lacked finesse in front of goal. However Hughes got another goal on 57 minutes from a Divers pass. On 73 minutes Hughes scored direct from a cornerr (the report gives Chalmers as getting the last touch but this was changed after the game finished).
