DID YOU KEEP THE RECEPIT?

WILFRIED NANCY'S Celtic nightmare intensified as Dundee United's second-half comeback consigned the Hoops to a fourth consecutive defeat for the first time since 1978.
Two goals in three minutes from Krisztian Keresztes and Zac Sapsford saw United claim their first win in eight William Hill Premiership games as they beat the champions 2-1 at Tannadice.
Daizen Maeda had opened the scoring early on and Celtic could have had the game out of sight in the first quarter of an hour as they missed a series of chances.
But United turned the game on its head in the second half and some of the visiting fans turned their anger towards Nancy during the latter stages, as well as chief executive Michael Nicholson following the resignation of chairman Peter Lawwell.
They also chanted for Martin O'Neill, who won seven out of eight games in interim charge before the Frenchman's arrival from Columbus Crew sparked a dramatic collapse in form.
Nancy made three changes as he tweaked his approach to get Maeda wider and further up the pitch on the left to support striker Johnny Kenny.
