Celtic restored their nine-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership after second-half goals from Jota and Aaron Mooy gave them a 2-0 win at Dundee United.
It was an important victory for Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou who won his 50th Scottish Premiership game in just 61 games.
The Hoops won 9-0 on their last visit to Tannadice at the end of August but were frustrated until the 51st minute when Jota headed in from a narrow angle to open the scoring.
