Celtic

It's been hard to break into the Scottish champions side for fringe stars after taking 12 points from 12 so far.

[Giorgos Giakoumakis](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/giorgos-giakoumakis) has netted two goals in his last two off the bench, and will be hoping to get the nod up front. Starfelt will be among the stars hoping for a shot at United having patiently warmed the bench following his pre-season knock. With Callum McGregor, David Turnbull and Matt O'Riley impressing in the Parkhead engine room there will be no rush to thrown the Japan cap into the mix. With Haksabanovic searching for match fitness, Postecoglou may take time to blend him into the team and all but ruled out an appearance at Tannadice. He has trained with his new teammates having been training alone in Sweden for the majority of pre-season, having left Russia following the invasion of the Ukraine. [Celtic](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/celtic-fc) squad again - and that could spark a reshuffled of his starting line-up after an unblemished start to the Scottish Premiership campaign.

Ange Postecoglou has replaced Moritz Jenz, David Turnbull and Daizen Maeda with Liel Abada, Reo Hatate and Carl Starfelt for the game against struggling Dundee ...

Dundee United have lost their last four games and conceded 15 goals in the process. Celtic on the other are looking to continue their perfect start to the season after four wins in their opening four games. Meanwhile former Celtic players Charlie Mulgrew and Tony Watt are both on the bench for United who have been in freefall since their 7-0 drubbing to AZ Alkmaar in the Conference League qualifiers.

Manager Ange Postecoglou has named his Celtic team vs Dundee United for the Scottish Premiership test this lunchtime.

In Japan, the match is live on subscription stream service SPOTV. It’s a big opportunity for Abada in particular, who has found minutes limited even when fully fit. Today’s a big match or the Bhoys. The match is also on the SPFL world feed meaning lots of channels around the world are broadcasting the game. Postecoglou has made three changes for the fixture with Liel Abada, Reo Hatate and Carl Starfelt coming in for Daizen Maeda, David Turnbull and Moritz Jenz. In Australia it’s on beIN Sports 2 while viewers in the USA can tune in to CBS Sports Network.

Kyogo Furuhashi and Liel Abada both scored hat-tricks, while Jota, Josip Juranovic and Carl Starfelt were also on target as the Premiership champions ...

Jota found Hatate's run and the Japanese midfielder squared for Abada to knock home. O'Riley's touch sent Abada in behind and he crossed for Jota to net from close range. Celtic went for the kill and scored a brilliant third in stoppage time. Starfelt and Abada were handed their first starts of the season while Reo Hatate was recalled. Half-time brought respite but no shift in momentum. Ross made four changes as he tried to halt a four-match losing streak.

Scintillating Celtic. THIS was seriously impressive. Celtic have looked slick already this season with a flawless start to the league season.

But the attacking onslaught continued with Starfelt adding a ninth. Thankfully, Hart could continue after staples to his head and a kit change - unfortunately for United it was a very long afternoon. But they piled on the misery.

Celtic have set a new record for the biggest away win in the Scottish top flight after a remarkable 9-0 win over Dundee United at Tannadice.

Celtic set new Scottish top flight record with 9-0 win over Dundee United

ANGE Postecoglou was handed a late birthday present by the Celtic directors on Thursday when the signing of Sead Haksabanovic was finally completed.

Their nightmare continued in the second-half. They headed for the exits in their droves. Postecoglou made a quadruple substitution after Celtic had gone seven ahead; Furuhashi, Jota, O’Riley and Hatate were replaced by Maeda, James Forrest, Turnbull and Aaron Mooy. But Celtic have an abundance of talented individuals who pose a threat in the final third and they did not miss him. His side very nearly snatched an equaliser against the run of play as a result of his heroics. It was all too much for the United supporters. His team mate squared to Furuhashi first time and the striker took a touch before drilling beyond Carljohan Eriksson. He completed his hat-trick from close range after being supplied by Abada in added-on time. Furuhashi bagged another five minutes before half-time after O’Riley had prodded the ball away from McMann. Ross, meanwhile, freshened his side up considerably in the wake of their 3-0 mauling by St Mirren last weekend. United are rooted to bottom spot, have now lost five games in succession and conceded 24 goals in the process. But every one of the visitors' players were sensational.

They have to progress from the group easily. Then after [Rangers](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/all-about/rangers-fc) won away in Germany and then drew at Ibrox to progress to the next round, the former Bayern Munich star dismissed Rangers as a 'third-rate team.' Now it seems Celtic are the new boys to be slated despite RB Leipzig having a difficult start to the Bundesliga season with one win from their opening four games. They certainly have the squad to do that."

Celtic produced a devastating display of attacking football to put nine goals past Dundee United at Tannadice and return to the top of the Scottish ...

Not everything came off for the Danish U21 international but was involved in much of Celtic’s best play and grabbed a couple of assists before his 63rd minute withdrawal. Diazen Maeda (5) and James Forrest (5) kept the pressure on the United defence but couldn’t get up to the level of the duo they replaced in Jota and Kyogo. Otherwise, a solid display and another goal to add his one off the bench at Kilmarnock last week. Crazy to think the Israeli youngster is not a regular starter when he can impact a game like this. Posed a constant threat down the right hand side with his movement and one-touch passing. His post was struck twice but was able to rest up long before the end.

They have to progress from the group easily. It comes amid RB Leipzig enduring a rotten run of form to start the new season. After Rangers won away in Germany and then drew at Ibrox to qualify, the former Bayern Munich icon dismissed Rangers as a 'third-rate team.'

Kenny Dalglish is expecting Celtic to challenge for second spot in the upcoming Champions League group stage.

Only a small handful of clubs have managed to do that as bottom seeds over the last few years. So will the Celtic supporters. Joe Hart will thrive on being back on the Champions League stage. I do not think there is anything for Celtic to fear. If it’s what he believes in, then he is right to stick by it. You would expect Real Madrid to top the section, and for Celtic to battle it out with Shakhtar Donetsk and RB Leipzig for the right to finish runners-up.

Liel is a fantastic young player and everything we've asked of him in the last 12-14 months he's just taken every challenge." Every ounce of criticism that falls on my shoulders is deserved because, from a personal pride perspective, it's really sore. Half-time brought no respite for Ross's side and Matt O'Riley squared for Abada to knock home in the 50th minute. We got on top of them early which allowed us to play our football," Celtic manager Postecoglou told Sky Sports. Celtic weren't finished by any means and the fourth goal arrived just before the half-time whistle as Abada got in behind and crossed for Jota to net from close range despite United appeals for offside. "In terms of that humiliation and embarrassment the players should feel that way, because that's the way I feel."

Jack Ross insisted he remained determined to fix Dundee United's problems after enduring a 9-0 defeat by Celtic at Tannadice.

“It’s about the intent and we don’t want to be led by the scoreboard or whatever the circumstances of the game are. And because of the embarrassment and humiliation I feel right now then, absolutely, I want to put that right.” The 46-year-old admitted he was “puzzled” by how bad things were but admitted his side were too passive. “You need to have faith in your managerial ability through previous experiences and the challenges I have overcome in my football and coaching career. And large aspects of the performance were not reflective of wearing a jersey in professional football.” So, when I talk about being humiliated and embarrassed, I want to fix that.

It remains to be seen who Celtic might try to sign before the window shuts, but the Bhoys continue to be linked with a host of players. Postecoglou has a number of attackers he can call on, but he is open to adding another to the ranks before the window slams shut next week. Bhoys boss Ange Postecoglou has just snapped up winger Sead Haksabanovic to increase his options in the final third ahead of a season including Champions League football.

Manager Ange Postecoglou says his Celtic team "keep going all the time" after thumping Dundee United 9-0 in the Scottish Premiership.

"I don't think us, as players, could argue if we lost our positions at the club. "That's part of the kind of football team we want to be," said Postecoglou. We know as players we've let him down, we've let each other down, the fans, the staff, and our families," he said. "I do think he is in serious danger of losing his job. "We are 100% [behind the manager]. Eight of those came in the final hour against Celtic.

[Dundee United](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/all-about/dundee-united-fc) - less than 24 hours after Liverpool battered Bournemouth by the same scoreline down south.

There were four chances following last week's defeat to St Mirren with Ross Graham, Kieran Freeman, Archie Meekison and Scott McMann replacing Charlie ...

Celtic had their second of the game in style. Liel Abada’s slick through ball sent Jota chasing down the left who slid the ball neatly across to Kyogo. Archie Meekison showed his link-up ability and set Glenn Middleton off down the United left.

Jack Ross has made a brutally honest admission after his Dundee United side suffered a 9-0 defeat at the hands of Celtic in their own backyard.

I want to overcome it but it hurts a lot. So I’m hurting and suffering, but it doesn’t diminish my want to put it right. I’m hugely protective of my players and I own the responsibility, because it’s my shoulders it falls upon, but you can’t run away from it.

Celtic can land their dream alternative to Edouard Michut by securing a transfer deal for Ross Barkley.

There is more to come, there is more to come and his attitude has been first class.” I am delighted with him and he just needs to keep those levels. His work rate, for instance, is great, recovering, jumping out to defend at times from midfield areas. I have seen that and Ross has been absolutely dedicated to the cause. [349](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ross-barkley/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/131978) club appearances across senior and youth sides, the midfielder has scored 53 goals and provided 44 assists in the process.

Andy Newport took your calls as Don Robertson was slammed for Rangers red card call and Antonio Colak was compared to Ibrox legend.

A lan McGaw, Alloa , said: “Well done Rangers another win with special mention to Colak who has now scored seven goals in the past month. It was a blatant red-card offence missed by the ref whilst the game was goalless! Jim McSorley, Bothwell , added: “In 30-plus years of watching Celtic I've never seen such a complete performance by the Hoops. Don Robertson is the latest whistler to feel the heat after missing James Sands’ rugby tackle on Jordy Hiwula as Rangers overcame that moment of controversy to thump Ross County. “Humiliated in Europe, now the same in the league. Ange Postecoqlou has again sent out the message that Celtic are the benchmark in Scottish football and our speed merchants up front will be too much to handle for Rangers next week.”

Ross watched his side ship nine goals to Celtic and he reckons his side might as well have been training ground mannequins as Celtic ran riot.

“We owe the supporters an apology because of the manner of the scoreline and the manner of the goals we concede. You need to have faith in your managerial ability through previous experiences and the challenges I have overcome in my football and coaching career. He said: “I suppose you would have to ask other people at the club that. “Just because I can only affect the bits I’m in control of, which is getting more from the players. [Celtic](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/celtic-fc) goal rush just before half-time had hundreds of United fans heading for the exits and Ross admits the manner of this defeat leaves a lot of making up to with the home support. “So when I talk about being humiliated and embarrassed, I want to fix that. In terms of me describing it, it was humiliating and embarrassing for me, personally and professionally - because of the pride you have in doing your job properly. Players need to own theirs. And large aspects of the performance were not reflective of wearing a jersey in professional football. But the Tannadice boss insisted he’s determined to stay and fight to turn around the club’s fortunes despite the Hoops making history by inflicting the biggest away win in [SPFL](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/scottish-professional-football-league) history on his hapless Tangerines. [Ross](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/jack-ross) delivered a brutal assessment of the latest instalment to what has been a shambolic start to the season for his team and conceded the champions made his defence look as if they were frozen to the spot.

Kyoho Furuhashi and Liel Abada both netted hat-tricks in the rout, which saw Ange Postecoglou's side continue their perfect start to the league season as ...

At the home of the stadium home supporters started leaving in their droves. Utterly cringe-inducing for the home supporters still in the ground. Kyogo's second Celtic hat trick arrived in the 45th minute when a delightful Hatate dummy saw O'Riley sling a cross towards the back post. Deprived a tenth straight title two seasons ago Postecoglou's side almost claimed the ten at last when Turnbull's header came close to crossing the line. Even a Scottish referee couldn't stop Celtic on a day of free-flowing, thrilling, attacking football. Carl Starfelt finally claimed his first Celtic goal at Kilmarnock the other week and, like buses, they're all coming at once now. The visitors played their way in behind the home defence with ridiculous ease. Playing in the same front three as the Japanese and Jota for the first time this Liel Abada claimed the other when he made it 8-0 after 77 minutes. A brief slither of hope, the dam burst completely before half-tie. Taking a touch to control, Celtic's goalscoring talisman calmly made it four goals in four games. Abada didn't score the opener after 16 minutes, but the vision and intelligence did create it. A porous Tannadice side have now shipped 24 goals in five winless games.

Celtic obliterated Dundee United 9-0 in the Scottish Premiership, in the club's biggest away win in the league in its 134-year history.

“It’s about the intent and we don’t want to be led by the scoreboard or whatever the circumstances of the game are. “It’s better to swap shirts with players you admire after you’ve knocked them off, rather than just grabbing one for your collection.” “It’s the team we want to be – it’s not just about the football we want to play,” said Postecoglou after Sunday’s masterclass had put his side two points clear at the top of the table after five striking wins to open their defence.

However, he can’t play every fixture, and Bernabei will be needed to ease the load on the Scotland international. This was [reported by the BBC](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-62560400) to be an alleged road traffic offence, which the Celtic defender was said to have been charged for. The left-back got 12 minutes at Tannadice in the 9-0 win over Dundee United.

Kris Commons reckons Ange Postecoglou may just be "slightly disappointed" Celtic didn't hit Dundee United for 10. The reigning Premiership champions came ...

"But spare a thought for his counterpart in the opposite dugout. "These players need to take a good look at themselves. Celtic were leading 9-0 yesterday and still had ten minutes left at the end to make it 10-0. He will want to fight on and prove he can turn it around. "When Brendan Rodgers first arrived at Celtic, I can vividly remember him telling us that he wanted to beat a team 10-0. Hat-tricks for both Kyogo and Liel Abada were among the highlights as Celtic flexed their attacking muscles in devastating fashion.

The Celtic legend didn't hold back in his criticism of Jack Ross after his defeat to Celtic.

"These players need to take a good look at themselves. His body language just doesn't look right to me and his comments backed that up.

Commons was still playing then and revealed the Leicester boss immediately said he wanted to his somebody for 10 while at [Celtic Park.](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/all-about/celtic-park) He's also under contract and would need to be paid off if United decide to make a change.
