Celtic move 16 points clear with win over Dundee United | OneFootball

Scorers: Maeda 22', Hatate 83'

Celtic returned to winning ways with a comfortable 2-0 win over Dundee United to move a massive 16 points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

The Bhoys dominated much of the game, and took the lead midway through the first half as Daizen Maeda pounced on a loose ball after an effort was parried into his path by Dundee United goalkeeper Jack Walton.

Despite their dominance, Brendan Rodgers' side missed several good chances to find the all-important second goal.

It eventually came just seven minutes from time, when Reo Hatate was found by compatriot Maeda 13 yards out, passing the ball past Walton and confirming all three points.

The result moves Celtic 16 points clear at the Scottish summit, albeit having played a game more than second-placed Rangers.
