Match report as Celtic win 3-0 at Dundee United to move back within four points of Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership; goals from Tom Rogic, David Turnbull and substitute Liam Scales – his first for the club – see the visitors to a comfortable win
Sunday 5 December 2021 14:12, UK
Liam Scales’ first Celtic goal helped his side stroll to a 3-0 win at Dundee United to move back within four points of Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership.
Tom Rogic opened the scoring for the visitors with a brilliant, mesmeric solo goal, before David Turnbull’s clever finish doubled their advantage five minutes before half-time.
However, it was Scales – only just on as a substitute – who grabbed the headlines after adding a third with nine minutes to go as Ange Postecoglou’s team kept the pressure on the champions, while United stay fourth in the table.
