Jim Goodwin brought pre-Christmas cheer to Dundee United fans after silencing his Celtic family and friends at the Tannadice outside goal.
The type of Waterford has noticed its combat appearance for a goalless draw with the Scottish champions that consolidate the fifth position for mandarins and means that they have now attracted to the Celtic and the Rangers this season. And the Guyager insists that no one uses without Celtic stars, adding Nicolas Kuhn and Cameron Carter-Vickers as an excuse for the hoops that draw a target, reports the daily album.
Goodwin – who climbed Parkhead’s ranks twenty years ago – said: “Listen, there were too many other folks hooked up with me on the opposition side, so I’m satisfied that my telephone does not buzz People with a pop because they controlled to fight.

“What makes us happy is that we can now spend and enjoy Christmas, thanks to a positive result. The enthusiasts were extraordinary today, many of them supported the team and I hope they too can enjoy their Christmas.
“Celtic’s strength and intensity is remarkable in terms of the similar adjustments they can make. I know other people in the media and experts who will reach out about the players Celtic were losing, and we will communicate about the conditions.
“No doubt those two things possibly played a part, but we’re missing players of our own. We had to play in the same conditions as they did today. I think our players deserve a huge amount of credit for what they put into it.”
Goodwin admitted that the next six minutes seemed like an eternity when Jack Walton denied that Arne Engels and United were forced to protect their surface. But he said: “They’re champions for a reason. They continue until the final whistle. I was disappointed to see six minutes go by at the end. “
“It felt like an eternity trying to get through that particular period. Obviously, the changes that Brendan is making as well, real quality players in Palma and Engels and Bernardo and Idah going on to support Kyogo at the top end.
“You just have to emphasize the players for their point of concentration at all times, because there are a lot of cramps, a lot of fatigue. They put their bodies on the line.
“In the end, we also had a few shovels in the goals. We also had a few steps in the moment, so we may have won 1-0.
“I’m not saying it would have been justified, but had the break of the ball fallen a little bit kinder to us in and around the Celtic goal, then you just never know. But we would have taken this before the game.”
