Celtic have kept up the pressure on rivals Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership table ahead of this weekend’s clash between the two sides at Ibrox.
Neil Lennon’s men were dominant from the off against Dundee United at Celtic Park, scoring twice in the first period thanks to long distance efforts from Ismaila Soro and David Turnbull.
United passed up a couple of opportunities to make it interesting after the break with Marc McNulty and Nicky Clark going close.
However, the game was killed off with 15 minutes remaining as Odsonne Edouard managed to bag his first Scottish Premiership goal from open play since the first game of the season.

Terrific movement around the final third, scored a superb goal and almost had an equally impressive assist with a beautiful scooped pass for Leigh Griffiths. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group

Should have had a hat-trick today but at least looked a lot hungrier and will be pleased to score his first league goal from open play since the opening day of the season. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group
