Celtic Stun Dundee United, O'Neill Returns to Winning Ways
A resounding 4-0 victory over Dundee United has given Celtic Park a much-needed boost as the Hoops secured their first clean sheet since Martin O'Neill's previous game in charge. The Irishman's return to the dugout was marked by an impressive display from his side, who cruised past their opponents with ease.
Yang Hyun-jun and Arne Engels struck twice in the opening five minutes, setting the tone for a dominant performance from Celtic. Substitute Benjamin Nygren added his 11th goal of the season before Daizen Maeda sealed the win on the rebound, giving Celtic their second-largest league wins of the season.
O'Neill praised his team's display, saying it was "delightful" and that they had "played really well in the game." The coach also credited the crowd for their support, stating that even during tough moments, the fans kept with them. With Dundee United averaging just 12 shots during Nancy's tenure, Celtic's improvement is a significant factor in their recent resurgence.
In other matches, Hibernian earned a point against Motherwell through Kieron Bowie's late equaliser. Falkirk boosted their top-six hopes with a 2-0 win over St Mirren, while Neil McCann's first game as Kilmarnock boss ended in a 1-1 draw with Livingston.
The weekend promises to be an exciting one, with leaders Hearts facing Dundee and Aberdeen hosting Rangers.

Celtic's defense has been a mess all season but now it seems like they've finally found their groove, 4-0 against Dundee United is no joke. gotta give it to O'Neill he knows how to motivate his team and get them playing some decent football 
... but only because they probably needed it more than Dundee United did 
. I mean, O'Neill said his team played really well, which might be true, but let's not forget that their opponents were kinda rubbish 
. Still, credit to Celtic for stepping up their game and getting the win – it was a nice boost for them 
️. But, on the other hand, Dundee United can't really complain since they got smashed 
... guess that's just part of being in a tough league like this 
.
! 4-0 is insane! They're like a different team from when O'Neill left. He must've made some big changes behind the scenes. The fans are really turning it up, too - even when things get tough, they stay with the team and push them forward 
. I mean, what's not to love about watching a well-oiled machine destroy their opponents? It's like a beautiful thing, man 
. they were so dominant against dundee united it was almost like they were playing 4v2 at times 
but benjamin nygren's goal showed what a talented squad this is 
daizen maeda's equalizer was pure class 
. the crowd definitely played a big role in lifting martin o'neill's team morale, it's clear they're the difference between winning and losing when it comes to motivation 
️
Celtic is on fire right now! O'Neill must've done something right 
. Now if they can keep up this form, the title chase will be fierce 
.
and i'm loving daizen maeda's goal, that rebound save was insane 
! Reminds me of the good old days when Celtic were dominating like this under Kenny Dalglish, you know? And now with Martin O'Neill back in charge, it's like he's brought a bit of that old magic with him 
. 4-0 against Dundee United is crazy talk, reminds me of when Celtic thrashed Rangers 7-1 at Ibrox back in the day 
! Yang Hyun-jun and Arne Engels absolutely destroyed it in the first 5 minutes 
! Their team is looking super solid, especially after Dundee United's weak performance 
.
. They all seem to be on the same page and working together seamlessly 
. It's interesting how his team's improved so much, even with just 12 shots from Dundee United last week. The fans' energy definitely helped lift them up, and I can see why O'Neill praised them for that 
. I mean, come on, a 4-0 win isn't exactly breaking news. And can we talk about the fact that Yang Hyun-jun and Arne Engels both scored TWICE in the first five minutes? Like, what's going on here? 
The only thing that's bugging me tho is the lack of streaming quality on the site... again 
Martin O'Neill's back and he's got the team playing like pros! The 4-0 win over Dundee United was insane, especially after their last game 
Daizen Maeda's goal was so sick, nice rebounding skills! 
And yeah, Dundee United's defense is still pretty weak, but Celtic's been on a roll lately. Fingers crossed they keep it up and take the league title 
. The atmosphere at Celtic Park is always electric, but it sounds like they really lifted the team up in that match.
