Celtic 4 Dundee Utd 1 - 18th December 1999

Celtic went in against Dundee Utd on the back of some good scoring form, having found the net 10 times in their previous two outings. And with a game against Rangers just nine days away, a win was vital in order to keep in touch at the top of the table.

However, things didn't go quite to plan in the 1st half -
Joaquim Ferraz giving United a 26th minute lead, and Mark Viduka missing a penalty to round off a poor overall performance.

But Celtic came out with all guns blazing in the 2nd half. It took just two minutes for John Barnes' men to find the equalizer - Regi Blinker latching on to a Lubo Moravcik through ball and dinking the ball past Combe in the United goal. Three minutes later Celtic were in front, Viduka heading in from close range after good work from McNamara down the right.

And Viduka turned provide for the third, setting up Moravcik to volley in at the near post. The scoring was wrapped up by Mark Burchill's customary late goal, the youngster turning in the rebound from his own shot, having been put through on goal by Eyal Berkovic.
