What happened. Celtic cruised to a 4-0 win over Dundee United to reach the cup quarter-finals, but manager Martin O'Neill was unhappy with their sloppy moments.
- Dundee United hit the woodwork five times, keeping the game closer than the scoreline suggests.
- Camilo Duran scored his first goal for Celtic and earned praise from O'Neill.
- New signings Haissem Hassan and Mika Baur made their debuts as substitutes.
“Four-nil suggests we were comfortable and I thought there were moments when we played really well. There were also moments when we were very untidy.”
— Martin O'Neill
Celtic face LASK in the Champions League play-off first leg on Wednesday, needing a sharper display.
