Review
Dundee United refused to buckle at 0-1 and 1-2 and Alan Gordon scored a fine equaliser in the last minute.
Tommy Callaghan sc ored in the 11th minute after Harry Hood hit the bar in the first minute. In the second half Lennox put Celtic ahead again after good work from John Hughes, after Dundee Utd had equalised in the first half. And Gordon got the equaliser for the Arabs.
Celtic lost their shape when Craig went off and Hay went to right back and this affected the balance in midfield. Wallace went to outside right with Callaghan dropping back to cover Hay's position.
