Celtic scored in the halves to beat a cursed Dundee United and move 16 problems obviously over the Scottish Premier League.
Brendan Rodgers willing to avoid a repetition of his draw in Tannadice 17 days ago and left with the same XI beginning that opposed St Mirren 3 days ago, with Hyun-Jun Yang signed by Nicolas Kuhn just before the start.
They decided from the entrance and Daizen Maeda fired in the first adjustment in the rebound to heat the enthusiasts an icy night in Parkhead.
The visitors, who had the opportunity to stay behind, were well organized and frustrated hoops, but Hatate came out here from the bench to shoot at the roof of the net and surely to some other house.

Rodgers had asked some enthusiasts to be more patients after detecting groans in the 3-0 victory of his team about St Mirren.
He had also accused the supporters in the permanent segment of being disrespectful towards the back, Greg Taylor making a song the objective of the call of the Kieran Tierney movement.
The enthusiasts responded by taking songs for a complete team of former players and Manager Martin O’Neill.
Songs about Artur Boruc, Mikael Lustig, Billy McNeil, Charlie Mulgrew, Tommy Burns, Victor Wanyama, Jimmy Johnstone, Scott Sinclair, Jota, Odsonne Edouard and Henrik Larsson all received an airing.
The fans rounded off their back catalogue with a stoppage-time burst of their song about Tierney, who is believed to be close to agreeing a pre-contract deal to return to Parkhead.
Jim Goodwin received little attack power from his players in an absolutely unilateral half, however, visitors made a primary defensive replacement in forty -five minutes that looked like a defense opposite attack consultation.
The head of the United would have frustrated through the nature of the opening after his team has erased the cross of Alistair Johnston.
The ball fell in love with Luke McCowan, only the box after Richard Odada fired off a shin pass from Vicko Sevelj, and Dundee Midfielder’s old shot burst for Maeda to go home after being stopped by Jack Walton.
Auston Trusty had previously headed from the no-nonsense top of the bar after one of Arne Engels’ first 10 spins in the first half. The midfielder in Belgium’s top threatening player Celtic, also fired mocking balls into the face of the purpose and end on several occasions.
United ended the shooting of the part, a corner or a cross – Celtic had 27, with a single touch in the domain of penalty at home and 16% possession.
There was an immediate improvement after the break, Kai Fotheringham and Glenn Middleton were well aimed at their first goal.
Celtic had the opportunity to kill the game faster than them. Maeda changed on the wide Cruz de Taylor and the United goalkeeper, Jack Walton, replacement chief Kyogo Furuhashi on the corner of Engels.
Kasper Schmeichel succeeded in his first backup in the 70th minute, Middleton’s hard strike in front of his close by the post and temporarily trapped Fotheringham’s head.
The adjustment remained on the scale until Hatate sweeps the ball in the skylight after his compatriot Paulo Bernardo simulated Maeda’s delivery.

“We had the opportunity to put the ball in the box with deep loose kicks and long throws and we also won some shifts, but, unfortunately, it is not too good for us in the box and around us. “
