Dundee let Hoops off hook and United’s Ibrox agony

For the first time this season, Celtic claimed victory in the City of Discovery – but they were made to work for it.   Did the Dark Blues ‘have Celtic exactly where they wanted them’? If so, how did the points end up back in Glasgow?  We spotlight an eventful afternoon for Ryan Astley, praise Jon McCracken’s interventions and ask whether the Dee are getting enough attacking impetus from out-with the wide areas.   A day earlier, United succumbed to defeat against Rangers.   Defensive deficiencies were again on show as the Gers claimed a 4-2 triumph, with Ashley Maynard-Brewer making a costly error before suffering a dislocated shoulder – what does the future hold for him?  A similar question can be asked regarding Amar Fatah, who is increasingly establishing himself as one of the most dangerous wide players in the Scottish Premiership.   And why don’t midfielders make tactical fouls anymore?!  This weekend’s action is discussed by Dundee United writer Alan Temple, DFC writer George Cran and ex-Tele Sport editor Graeme Finnan.  You can also see us on YouTube at youtube.com/@TheCourierUK/videos
