Jack Walton: Last News

Jota and Adam Idah both hit spectacular goals as Celtic moved 16 points clear of Rangers in the William Hill Premiership with a routine 3-0 home victory over Dundee United.

Thrilling Celtic moved 16 points clear of Rangers and moved closer to another title in a dominant 3-0 win over Dundee United.

Dundee United boss Jim Goodwin was unhappy at the Killie winner and demanded consistency.

Mohamed Diomande was sent off in stoppage time for a swing and a miss – but Rangers still managed to come off the canvas to knock out Dundee United 3-1 and banish some of their away day blues.

Jim Goodwin is confident that Dundee United will get the green light to keep Sam Dalby, Luca Stephenson and Jack Walton at Tannadice for the season.

Jim Goodwin reckons Toyosi Olusanya dived and was left bemused that VAR didn’t intervene to overturn St Mirren’s late penalty at the weekend.

Dundee United striker Louis Moult scored an 88th minute winner against St Mirren to grab the Tangerines all three points. The home team missed a penalty in injury time through Toyosi Olusanya. Both sides came in to the game on the back of defeats away to league leaders Celtic, the Saints’ defeat at Parkhead was their third in a row, while it was a second successive loss for United after they came out on the wrong side of a tight match against Hearts last weekend. The hosts had the major opportunity of the afternoon when Richard Taylor’s header was hacked off the line after a Scott Tanser corner, before United had their first effort on target as Kevin Holt tested Zach Hemming. With just over 10 minutes remaining in the first half Greg Kiltie forced Jack Walton to spill a shot but it couldn’t be turned home by the on-rushing Rowland Idowu and the teams went in with nothing between them at half time. The Tannadice club thought they were ahead following a Will Ferry cross from a short corner, however Croatian defender Vicko Ševelj was adjudged to be offside. That saw the game open up and both Mikael Mandron and Glenn Middleton hit the bar for their respective teams.

Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate were on target in either half to seal a 2-0 win and send Celtic soaring 16 points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership as Dundee United’s Parkhead hoodoo continued.
