VASILIS BARKAS 6
Very little to do, but used the ball well with his feet.
JEREMIE FRIMPONG 7
Showed his pace to deny Nicky Clark as he ran through and was a threat going the other way.
NIR BITTON 6
In at centre-half and coped well with the little that United threw at him.
CHRISTOPHER JULLIEN 6
Much more assured performance than his last Celtic away day, dealing well with the occasional threat posed by United.
GREG TAYLOR 6
Got forward well down the left, but final ball wasn’t always on the money.
SCOTT BROWN 6
Usual combative self in midfield, but might have used the ball better. Picked up a booking for dissent.
CALLUM MCGREGOR 7
Tried to get up and support the attack and used the ball in his usual accomplished fashion.
RYAN CHRISTIE 7
Had a personal battle with Siegrist as he rained shots down on the United goal. Will be disappointed that he never found the net.
OLIVIER NTCHAM 7
First start of the season ahead of James Forrest and put in some dangerous balls.
MOI ELYOUNOUSSI 6
Wide man was quiet before being replaced by Forrest.
ODSONNE EDOUARD 7
Hit the outside of the post and showed good feet, but couldn't find the breakthrough.
SUBSTITUTES
JAMES FORREST 6
On to provide inspiration and fired just over.
ALBIAN AJETI 7
Match-winner popped up with the crucial goal for his first Celtic strike.
KRIS AJER 4
Got forward and supported the attack.
PATRYK KLIMALA 3
On for final few minutes to run down clock.
DUNDEE UNITED:
BENJAMIN SEIGRIST 8
Unlucky to be on the losing side after a series of really good saves. May be disappointed with goal, but a wonderful showing.
MARK CONNOLLY 7
Defended well at the heart of the United rearguard. No nonsense.
MARK REYNOLDS 7
Organised the home defence brilliantly, a real leader's performance.
PETER PAWLETT 6
Offered some threat with his pace before fading out of the game.
NICKY CLARK 6
Put in a real shift for the team but never really threatened at the other end.
LOGAN CHALMERS 6
Showed some clever touches.
JAMIE ROBSON 7
Had a good battle with Christie and gave as good as he got.
CALLUM BUTCHER 6
Put himself about in the midfield as usual. Picked up booking for foul on Edouard.
LUKE BOLTON 6
Should have done better with first-half chance, but was a threat with his pace.
IAIN HARKES 6
Used the ball well and was a composed figure in the middle of the park.
LEWIS NEILSON 6
The 17-year-old gave a good account of himself before being replaced on the hour mark.
SUBSTITUTES
KIERAN FREEMAN 3
On for final half-hour to help shore up defence.
PAUL MCMULLAN 3
Couldn't provide inspiration.
ADRIAN SPORLE 3
Struggled to get into game.
LEWIS APPERE 3
Showed one or two nice glimpses of ability.
