A Look Back – January 28, 2006

The date: January 28, 2006

Celtic v Dundee United.

A Celtic starting eleven of Artur Boruc, Mark Wilson, Adam Virgo, Stanislav Varga, Ross Wallace, Shunsuke Nakamura, Neil Lennon, Stiliyan Petrov, Shaun Maloney, Magic Zurawski, and Welshman John Hartson.

Of that line-up, John Hartson (now retired), Zurawski (now playing in Cyprus) and Petrov (now playing for Aston Villa) netted for Celtic, giving the league-leaders the go ahead. But two goals in the 82′ and 86′ by late sub Lee Miller (now playing with the Dons, and made some interesting news by his lonesome this weekend) and David Fernández (now playing with Killie) drew the Terrors back level to split the points.

And so it was, Celtic 3 – 3 Dundee United – the last time time Celtic drew or lost in a match scoring three or more goals.

Until this last Sunday, when Celtic drew three goals apiece with bottom o’ the table Falkirk. Celtic had the opportunity to return the lead over Rangers to four points, but a gritty Falkirk, still searching for there first league win, deserved the points, if not the win.
