Celtic took all three points in dramatic fashion with a 4-2 victory over Dundee United.

The Hoops dominated the game but a late goal from the visitors brought them level for the second time and looked as though they would grab an undeserved point.

However, last-gasp goals from Kyogo and Liel Abada delivered the win which puts Ange Postecoglou’s side seven points clear at the top of the table.

It was another example of the Celtic squad’s determination to keep going until the final whistle, and speaking after the game, the Celtic manager said: “I think probably people will realise now that it’s not by chance. It’s not luck.

'It’s something we’ve drilled into the players from day one and they’ve embraced it. They just refuse to yield, they refuse to give up and there is no lost cause, and credit to them.'

After Sead Haksabanovic opened the scoring early in the game with his first goal for the Hoops, Dundee United equalised after a VAR intervention gave the visitors a penalty which Steven Fletcher converted.

And speaking of that, the Hoops boss said: “I was probably more frustrated than anyone. As I said, I’ve got no issue with VAR but they don’t have to use it.

“The decisions they came to today could have been done very quickly, and I don’t think we come to the football to sit there and wait for somebody in a place a long way from here to make a decision. I just don’t think that’s what football’s about.

“It’s not an issue with VAR. If they say it’s a handball, just say it’s a handball, it’s a penalty and let’s get on with it. We don’t have to sit there for so long just to come to a decision.”

Haksabanovic also scored Celtic’s second goal before the late intervention of Kyogo and Abada ensured a home win and emphasised the strength of the squad.

“Again, there’s no secrets there,” said the manager. “We’re very much about the kind of squad we have, not just the starting eleven, and the guys who came on today played their part.

“Other times, it’s others that come on, but credit to the lads who came on and gave us some energy, and it was two quality goals.”

Manager: This team refuses to give up and there is no lost cause
