Dundee United came from two behind in dramatic fashion to grab an unlikely share of the points against sloppy Celtic in their Premier League clash at Tannadice, yesterday.

The Hoops were leading through goals from Miku, his first for the club since signing on loan from Getafe in the summer, and Tony Watt and looked certain to take the points back to Glasgow.

However, in the final minute of normal time substitute Gary Mackay-Steven scored what looked like a late consolation only for substitute Efe Ambrose to put a Barry Douglas cross past his own goalkeeper in injury time.

Celtic went back top of the SPL table but it was not the end to the game manager Neil Lennon was looking for ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Barcelona at Celtic Park.

However, United boss Peter Houston, who watched his side lose against Hearts on penalties in their League Cup QF in midweek, will be delighted at taking a point from a game that looked all over when Watt scored on 80 minutes.

Watt could not hide his shock and told reporters: “It’s devastating to concede that goal so late – we wanted to win the match but could not hold on.

“We just sat back, we thought we were comfortable but we lost two goals.”
