Celtic thumping was a Tannadice horror show as shambolic Dundee United labelled 'a disgrace' - Hotline

After being limp against Livi, annihilated in Alkmaar, terrorised at Tynecastle, spanked by St Mirren, it’s now another horror show against the Hoops.

In the space of five games Dundee United have shipped 24 goals to leave Jack Ross looking at one of the most disastrous sequences ever recorded by a major Scottish club. And there was little sympathy on the Hotline after Celtic demolished them in Dundee.

Gavin MacLeod, Renfrew , said: “Dundee United continue to be a shambles. It’s fine to be beaten, even outplayed, by either side of the Old Firm - but the tools were down before the half time pies were even warmed. Jack Ross might end up being one of the SPFLs shortest ever tenures." Bill McLellan, Cumbria , added: “Dundee United are nothing short of a disgrace. Hard to believe this club reached the European Cup semis and the UEFA Cup final under wee Jim McLean.

“Humiliated in Europe, now the same in the league. Celtic were disappointed they didn't hit double figures but United should be relieved it wasn't a dozen or more! This mob would struggle to reach the Ayrshire Cup semi.”

But Celtic fan Stephen Mulhern, Dumbarton , was overjoyed with Ange Postecoglou’s team after Kyogo Furuhashi and Liel Abada both hit trebles, saying: “I believed that Brendan Rodgers had brought the most exciting brand of football seen in years at Celtic but after witnessing that breathtaking display yesterday I’ve changed my mind. Ange Postecoqlou has again sent out the message that Celtic are the benchmark in Scottish football and our speed merchants up front will be too much to handle for Rangers next week.”

Jim McSorley, Bothwell , added: “In 30-plus years of watching Celtic I've never seen such a complete performance by the Hoops. Passing,
