Celtic

Josip Juranovic has been speaking about his transfer from Celtic to join Union Berlin and has rejected on his incredible 18 months wearing the Hoops as well ...

“My approach is always the same. I enjoyed myself in the first game and Union’s 3-5-2 system suits me. Those derbies against (the)Rangers are a special experience and you immediately understand why it is one of the biggest games that exist in the football world. In Scotland, the football was hard, but fair. “But I would have gone to these clubs as a back-up option and I was not interested in that. “Previously, some Croatian players signed for big clubs and didn’t play for them and were dropped from the national team.

The full-back admitted he remains gutted he had to leave 'world institution' Celtic after 18 months.

"My approach is always the same. "I enjoyed myself in the first game and Union's 3-5-2 system suits me. I shudder when I think about the 60,000 fans at every home game. "But I would have gone to these clubs as a back-up option and I was not interested in that. "But leaving Celtic was very difficult for me. I couldn't take the risk.

Josip Juranovic, who joined Union Berlin in the January transfer window, has made a beautiful claim about his time at Celtic.

While his time at Celtic Park might not have been the longest, it was certainly very impactful and he will be remembered by the fans for a long time to come. And it is pretty clear that he has fond memories of his time playing for the Hoops. On the other hand, while Union Berlin might not be one of the biggest names in Europe, they do seem to be making a Bundesliga challenge this season. While Juranovic might have remained at Celtic for only 18 months, he had become a fan favourite during that period of time. And it is safe to say that he played a key part in the Hoops’ triumphs over the past 18 months. He had been a starter for Ange Postecoglou’s side since he arrived at Parkhead in the summer of 2021 from Legia Warsaw.

Celtic deservedly came out on top of a keenly contested game at Tannadice as second half goals from Jota and a penalty from Aaron Mooy...

He should have had an assist too, as his cross was headed over from close range late on by Daizen Maeda. He certainly looks a real physical presence up top and seems to have pace to burn, and Celtic fans will be looking forward to seeing what he can bring to the party in support of Kyogo over the coming weeks and months. All in all though, this was a performance and result that shouldn’t dent confidence as United look to press on with their recent upturn in fortunes and climb away from trouble at the bottom of the table. What may rankle with the United players and manager is the way that this game so closely mirrored the defeat here to Rangers just a few weeks back, when they competed in the game before conceding a couple of soft goals in quick succession at the start of the second half to kill their chances of a result. He caught United cold at the start of the second half too, cutting into the box and curling just wide of the far top corner, but he was looking the Celtic player most likely to open the scoring, which he duly did. He played a beautiful through ball that sliced open the United defence within the opening seconds that the striker couldn’t convert, his stinging volley brought the best save of the first half from the United keeper, and his no-look pass played Reo Hatate into the area for the midfielder to clip the ball off the far post.

There were no fresh allegations of players having downed tools that had arisen in the wake of that record home defeat to the Scottish champions five months ...

It was a clear cut penalty and Mooy sent Birighitti the wrong way. It was the Australia international midfielder’s fifth goal in his last seven game. Scampering down the right, Mooy sent over a wonderful deep cross to the back post. Had the ball fallen to the pacier Glenn Middleton Celtic could have been in real trouble. United were now living dangerously and Jota saw a shot straight at Birighitti. Kyogo Furuhashi was in impressive form again for Celtic and was unlucky not to score in the game

Here Football Scotland has had a look at the main talking points from today's game - and our dedicated VAR watch can also be checked out here. Jota back firing.

And he looked a decent prospect in his first 10 minutes as a Celtic player. Aaron Mooy's deep, deep cross from the right-flank really should have been meat and drink for Birighitti but the goalkeeper climbed on his crossbar as it floated over, presumably expecting it to sail over. [Aaron Mooy](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/all-about/aaron-mooy) then doubled Celtic's lead over Dundee United before the final whistle while new signing Oh Hyeon-gyu was given a brief runout to show supporters a glimpse of what he can do. Might be a tad disappointed not to have been given longer considering Ange had made a hat-trick of subs earlier but will no doubt be pleased to finally have got on the pitch for his new club. There were some recent performances which had manager Postecoglou leaving him his flair player on the bench but he have the United defence a torrid time in the first-half before his goal capped the showing. The Portuguese winger at half his powers is still a competent and dangerous player in this division, but this afternoon he seemed to have found his feet again.

The hosts held on tight in the opening 45 minutes but the Hoops grabbed two quick-fire goals in the second period to put the game out of sight and restore ...

On for final stages for Celtic debut. Been on the fringes. Scored in the Scottish Cup win over Morton. A great season to date. Forced brilliant save from United No1. Keeping Matt O'Riley out of the team after excellent run of form. Close to a goal in first half but shot wide. Great eye for a pass. Here's how we rated the league leaders. Mooy - who has been in stunning form since the World Cup return - made no mistake as he sent Mark Birighitti the wrong way to double the champions' advantage and maintain his 100 per cent record from 12-yards. Moments later the goalscorer turned provider as he forced a handball out of Kieran Freeman and following a VAR check whistler Don Robertson correctly pointed to the spot. [Hoops](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/all-about/celtic-fc) grabbed two quick-fire goals at Tannadice in the second period to put the game out of sight.

The midfielder set up the first goal before scoring the second from the penalty spot as Celtic won 2-0 at Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership.

Celtic had their penalty five minutes later after Robertson was called to the monitor to view a handball claim against Freeman after Jota’s ball into the box struck the full-back. Hart twice held efforts from Fletcher and Hatate saw a shot saved but the main incident of note after the goals was an 82nd-minute debut for Celtic’s new signing, Oh Hyeon-gyu. Celtic were awarded a penalty seconds later after Furuhashi went down between the close attention of Liam Smith and Birighitti, who punched the ball clear. Jota came close again just into the second half before putting Celtic ahead. Celtic’s victory on their previous visit to Tannadice in late August cost the then United manager, Jack Ross, his job. The visitors had 17 efforts at goal to the home side’s four.

The Premiership champions restored a nine point lead over Rangers at the league summit with a hard-earned 2-0 success at Tannadice. After a goalless opening 45 ...

"Jota is getting back to fitness and the levels we know he can get to. The biggest compliment I can pay him is he plays every game like it's his debut, as if he has everything to prove. "I know I dismissed it (the 400 game mark) before the game,” the maanger said. “[It was tough] to a certain extent, I thought we handled it well in difficult conditions. Celtic were initially awarded a spot-kick in the first period when United keeper Mark Birighitti collided with Kyogo Furuhashi, only for referee Don Robertson to reverse his decision after checking the pitchside VAR monitor. After a goalless opening 45 minutes, Jota's header and an Aaron Mooy penalty secured the visitors' win.

Ange Postecoglou reflected on the contributions of Celtic captain Callum McGregor this evening after he made his 400th appearance for the club.

As he has Celtic, of course. McGregor has made a huge impression on the Australian. They’re amongst it every day, mainly by actions but in his words too. It’s a credit to him and his family. “The biggest compliment I can pay him, and what I said to the boys was, he plays every game as if it’s his debut. He’ll obviously go down as a legend of this football club.

ANGE POSTECOGLOU paid tribute to midfield masters Aaron Mooy and Callum McGregor after Celtic's 2-0 win over Dundee United...

And because of the way he is I know there is so much more to come. As it stands right now nothing is definite in terms of his next move. I think he’s telling me we are done. Even if I wasn’t Michael’s not taking my calls anymore. He plays every game as if he’s got everything to prove even though he’s done it all. “It’s still sort of in the balance,” he said.

Celtic's new signing Oh Hyeon-ghu had a debut to dream about following his £2.5m move from Suwon Samsung Bluewings, according to his manager Ange ...

If you look at our squad now, apart from Tony [Ralston] who has a bit of injury but he will be back soon, it’s not just that we have a healthy squad but we have a really strong squad, guys who are ready to play and to contribute. For this home stretch we want to go hard and finish stronger than we started and that should be our goal.” Our football has been really good and compelling the whole time and I think we will continue to get stronger and that’s my main focus.

Aaron Mooy was the star of the show at Tannadice as the Premiership leaders ran out 2-0 winners.

He admitted: “It’s still sort of in the balance. He proudly said: “I just think (my players) obviously understand what we are trying to achieve and how we are trying to achieve it. We scored a fantastic first goal and the quality was there and we kicked on after that.” He is an outstanding individual and a credit to himself and his family and because of the way he is I know there is so much more to come. They dominated in the first half but it took into the second half to get the breakthrough. Postecoglou paid a glowing tribute to him and reckons it was important to mark it with a win.

What Aaron Mooy and Jota said to Sky Sports after Celtic 2-0 Scottish Premiership win over Dundee United at Tannadice.

I have loved every minute of it and I just want to try and keep going and getting more. I want to become better and fit into the system better and learn the system. McGregor: He has been outstanding since he came into the team especially playing in that number eight position. Touching on the first-half I thought we played really well and were unlucky not to go in ahead. It is another three points and it was tough conditions but we got the job done. In the second half, we scored two quick goals to take the game away from them.

'Lucky man' Ange's fresh dig at rival coach amid big EPL praise for Aussie Celtic star.

It’s a credit to him.” The biggest compliment I can pay him is he plays every game like it’s his debut, as if he has everything to prove. “A really strong performance.” “He’ll go down as a legend of this club. “He’s got a great engine - he runs all day. “I said to the lads in there that they’ve got to appreciate they’re sharing a dressing room with a special individual,” added Postecoglou.

Ange Postecoglou has joked that chief executive Michael Nicholson is BLANKING him as Celtic prepare for the end of the transfer window.

Most of our work is done before this window." Postecoglou has acknowledged there are still a few days to get more business done should the opportunity present itself but he won't rush in for the sake of it. "It's about opportunity.

He is an outstanding individual and a credit to himself and his family. “The greatest compliment I can pay him is that he plays every game as if it’s his first. As it stands right now nothing is definite in terms of his next move.”

The right-back was penalised for a handball in the box following a check with the video assistant referee.

I think the idea behind it (the check) was to see if it was inside or outside. [Scottish Premiership](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/scottish-premiership) with a comfortable 2-0 victory at Tannadice. McCann chimed in: "That was one of the easier ones (VAR decisions).

Only for VAR to force them to wait. Referee Don Robertson, at that juncture, pointed to the spot for keeper Mark Birighitti appearing to wipe out Kyogo ...

Having said that we still go through on quite a number of occasion we just lacked a bit of our quality inside the box and alertness. His midfielder confrere Mooy fashioned an exquisite arcing cross from the right that was misjudged by the all-in-a-fankle Birighitti, looping over him and dropped at the back post when Jota was on hand to nod in. The second VAR involvement came through Robertson missing – as can happen – Kieran Freeman nuttily yanking his hand from his side upwards to deliberately nudge a ball that Jota had sought to flick behind him. Only nine minutes into the second half, a VAR system that had then taken from Celtic, gave to them as it offered welcome assistance to Robertson. It was the second crucial intervention from the Australian international following his integral part in the goal that broke the resistance of Laim Fox’s men that was always of the token variety. No, the facet to cause jaws to drop to the floor of most Scottish football observers was [VAR](/topic/var) actually working perfectly.

GREGGS THE BAKER – 5.5/10 – Sticky, like his bakery doughnuts; Not 'donuts', Americanised readers. He took a time to settle back into his given role and ...

OVERALL – 7.5/10 – What a week. They had that damn cute goat’s arse right in front of their eyes for a good half hour after overturning a Celtic penalty; not the keeper, by the way – but the defender’s foul as he shovelled Kyogo into the advancing goalie – THAT’S the offence nobody’s – *cough* – talking about…So spare a brief second to empathise with their choking obligation to give the handball pen, lest be truly ridiculed across global TV coverage. And in he comes on cue to ease the angst and let loose the dogs of war. ANITA DOBSON – 7.5/10 – Not a tricky choice for Ange today but he still surprised with Abadass’ inclusion; throwing a son of the desert into Dundee – a desert with no sun – probably punishment for dragging out contract negotiations. MIBBERY – 6/10 – ‘Look, we tried, right?’ sighed Don and Euan at the ludge inquisition. ABADASS – 5/10 – ‘The Terror Of Tannadice’. GET CARTER – 7/10 – A great monolith at the heart of the Celtic backline. But we still got a few flurries in the form of subtle flicks and slipped passes – rapids popping up out of nowhere; unfortunately nobody rode them. For the past month Kyogo has been inevitable, so this afternoon it was a mystery given the positions he found himself in and the opportunities which presented themselves, that his tally remained as it were. As we looked to the match-winners, the opening came from a Mooey surge forward and nightmare cross for any keeper to deal with. But also like Greggs, he forced himself into the game and ultimately forged a formidable link to keep the Celtic chain strong. He emerged from a first half toil to shake off the drag and spark the win.

Marvin Bartley and Neil McCann both believe VAR got the penalty decisions right at Tannadice between Dundee United and Celtic - but they were equally left ...

To be fair to Kyogo he’s brave and he gets in there and wasn’t shirking it and took a sore one but it was a clear punch from the goalkeeper. McCann agreed and added: “That was one of the easier ones. The fact that Don points to the spot surprised me but we got to the right decision in the end. [Ange Postecoglou's](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/all-about/ange-postecoglou) side cruised to victory with goals from Jota and Aaron Mooy but the penalty decisions meant it ended up being a game covered in controversy. It was a deliberate handball and the Don Robertson initially gave a penalty in the first half when Mark Birighitti punched the ball clear and then clattered into Kyogo Furuhashi, but

Kieran Freeman had moved his hand, from by his side, towards the ball, blocking it from making its way through, before putting his hand behind his back.

McCann agreed: “That was one of the easier ones. How did Freeman managed to stay on the pitch after being booked earlier?” One thing that did surprise me, and I don’t want to see players sent off, but for me that’s a deliberate handball.

DUNDEE UNITED 0-2 CELTIC 4PM SUNDAY 29TH JANUARY 2023 CINCH PREMIERSHIP TANNADICE PARK Jota and Aaron Mooy's second-half strikes ensured Celtic left Ta.

It was met by Jota at the back post who headed home from a narrow-angle to give the visitors the lead. The Australian rose highest, punching the ball clear before the referee pointed to the sport after an adjudged foul. For all their domination of the ball, Mark Birighitti was only called into action twice in the first half. An excellent cross-field ball found Aziz Behich but the Australian's cross was too high to find a United man - drifting out for a goal kick. Smart play from Jota sent Kyogo through on goal but a poor finish let United off as he lifted his effort over the bar. United lined up as we did when the blue side of Glasgow visited Tannadice earlier this month.

The midfielder has become the green and white leader since taking on captaincy duties.

“They set the tone with me and I have maintained that to have a successful team you need five or six leaders but we have that. "You want guys to go over and above for you on the park. Postecoglou has joked he now wants another 400 and McGregor smiled: “That’s the plan! The ref said he got a nick on the ball. McGregor takes such accolades with a typically humble outlook and said: “It is always nice when people speak well about you, but the main guy you are trying to impress on a daily basis is the manager. Celtic had a penalty award overturned in the first-half after Kyogo was caught by United keeper Mark Birighitti, but the midfielder said: “When we saw it back it was probably the right decision. “Sometimes when you praise people too much they become comfortable and he likes not letting that happen. On reaching 400, he admits it was hard to envisage when he started out as he continued: “Probably not in terms of the scale of it. “The gaffer doesn’t hand out praise too often, he likes to keep people on their toes! "That is the way you have got to treat it. Aaron Mooy, who was superb alongside his captain at Tannadice, said: “He’s the one who holds us all together and gets us going before every game and training session. A real iconic figure who looked after himself and was an ever present for the club.

Australia midfielder Aaron Mooy set up the opener and scored the second. But Jota did the reverse, with the Portuguese winger a constant menace to United's ...

Celtic's comfortable 2-0 win away to Dundee United didn't contain many stand-out moments. The statistics it extended are firmly out of the ordinary, though.

In their 4-0 thumping of the Ibrox men in September, they actually only had 55 per cent possession. Only twice this season have they had to sort-of share the ball in games. Even in their one league loss this season – the 2-0 defeat by St Mirren in Paisley four months ago – they had 80 per cent possession.

Former Celtic striker Tony Cascarino has opened up on his struggles at Parkhead and admitted he regretted not signing for Southampton instead.

"I remember doing a dinner in Glasgow a few years ago. I was the record signing at the club and that wasn’t reflected in my performances. "He was the main reason I went to Celtic.

That's according to former Celtic striker Tony Cascarino who inisists the two Glasgow clubs are being held back from realising their potential in Europe due to ...

"European football is the benchmark for Rangers and Celtic because one or the other always wins the league – obviously, it’s been virtually all Celtic in recent years – and it’s not good reading. "Part of me asks ‘would the Scottish league be better off without Rangers and Celtic?’ because it would immediately become more competitive and another club – or clubs – could benefit from the Champions League. The 88-times capped Republic of Ireland international also believes the Scottish game would become more interesting without Celtic and [Rangers](/topic/rangers) after insisting the league is 'dead' due to the Old Firm monopoly.

"Who knows where I will be in five or six years' time," Celtic captain Callum McGregor eyes 800 games for the club after reaching 400 appearances yesterday.

You know when you are doing well and when the manager picks you then you are doing something right. In modern-day football, you don’t get a chance to look back and see what you have achieved — it’s just on to the next game. So you bear that in mind every time you play for this club and these supporters that you have to give your absolute maximum. The biggest compliment I can pay him is he plays every game like it’s his debut, as if he has everything to prove. “I just said to the lads in there, they’ve got to appreciate they’re sharing a dressing room with a real special individual. Callum McGregor was undoubtedly rather embarrassed when Ange Postecoglou took the unusual decision to single out his captain for praise in front of his teammates as the Celtic captain reached the milestone of playing for the club on 400 occasions.

Capped 88-times by Republic of Ireland, Tony Cascarino failed to make any sort of impact in Scottish football.

I was the record signing at the club and that wasn’t reflected in my performances. There seemed to be cliques and there was quite a difference in the money players were on.
