From the source
Celtic lost the opportunity to go six points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership as they drew 2-2 with Dundee United. After an unconvincing performance against Hibs over the weekend, Martin O'Neill's side made a bright start to proceedings as Camilo Duran finished off a well-worked move to give the hosts an early lead.
However, shocking defending saw the visitors turn the game around in the space of three minutes. First, Zachary Sapsford got in front of Liam Scales to head home an equaliser, before Neil Farrugia prodded home after a shambolic attempt from the hosts to clear their lines from a free-kick.
Fan favourite Jota was introduced at half-time to help the Hoops avoid a first home defeat to United since 1992, and he did exactly that.
