Review

Mike Conroy was unfortunate enough to put the ball in his own net to give Dundee Utd victory in 76 minutes after he defelected a Bannon header past Pat Bonner.

Celtic played MacLeod at right back due to McGrain's suspension and they looked vulnerable in defence from Bannon's crosses all night.
