Celtic slipped three points behind Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premier League as a Sean Dillon goal in the fourth minute of injury claimed a deserved 1-1 draw for Dundee United yesterday.

Celtic looked to have claimed all three points thanks to Gary Hooper’s first-half strike before Dillon headed a Barry Douglas free-kick past the despairing Fraser Forster deep into injury time after a period of sustained pressure from United.

The scoreline does not reflect the goalmouth action with both sides craving out plenty of opportunities in an entertaining match.

The draw leaves the Hoops trailing Rangers, who needed a Kenny Miller hat-trick to help them come from behind to win for the sixth time this season as they narrowly defeated ten-man Kilmarnock 3-2.

Elsewhere, Hamilton remain bottom after goals from Rudi Skacel and David Templeton sealed a 2-0 win for Hearts, an Adam Rooney hat-trick sealed a 4-2 win for Inverness over Hibernian, Aberdeen lost their fifth successive match as St Johnstone defeated them 1-0 and St Mirren drew 1-1 with Motherwell.
