Dundee U 0 – 2 Celtic

0

Celtic restored their nine-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership after second-half goals from Jota and Aaron Mooy gave them a 2-0 win at Dundee United.

It was landmark victory for Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou who won his 50th Scottish Premiership game in just 61 matches.

The Hoops won 9-0 on their last visit to Tannadice in late August but were frustrated until the 51st minute when Jota headed in from a tight angle to open the scoring.
