Dundee United 1-1 Celtic: Ange Postecoglou’s side reclaim the title
Celtic won their 10th Scottish Premier League title in 11 seasons despite drawing with Dundee United at Tannadice.
Giorgos Giakoumakis’ header in the second half was canceled out by a stunning Dylan Levitt goal, but one point was enough to reclaim the crown from Rangers, while United secured a place in Europe.
After building an almost brand new Celtic side, coach Ange Postecoglou reversed a 25-point deficit for Rangers from last term to win the championship in his first attempt.
It is a significant change for the club as they restore the top spot in Scottish football to the very ground they had given up hope of 10 games in a row 14 months ago.
Man United head coach Tam Courts has also had an impressive debut season, as his side have secured their place in next season’s Europa Conference League.
But the biggest celebration was made by Celtic, who extended their unbeaten streak in the league to 31 and completed the non-stop rotation after trailing Rangers by six points in the race for the title. enemies on Boxing Day.
It was unchallenged with their usual pace and attack intensity as Postecoglou circled his three forwards, but Giakoumakis rose to head Anthony Ralston’s superb cross and spark the celebrations. rave from the Celtic fans.
But whether it was due to the tension, or the relief of the title in hand, Celtic were lax and United beat attack twice through 16-year-old strikers Rory MacLeod and Tony Watt, before Manchester United loanee Levitt defeated in a superb equalizer from 25 yards .
Ryan Edwards may have delayed the title party until Sunday but headed off the post just a few yards in the late game, but Celtic also had plenty of chances to win the game.
Giakoumakis shot the ball wide of the post with a score of 1-0, Reo Hatate, Daizen Maeda and Jota all closed.
In the end, all that matters is that they got the job done and Postecoglou is clearly emotional full time, having arrived at a club in disarray and having weathered three losses in six games. their first to become the champion.
Than to follow.
