Scales and Farrugia Net as Celtic and Dundee United Draw

Celtic showed their Scottish Premiership mettle, fighting back to secure a 2-2 draw against Dundee United at Parkhead on Wednesday. The result leaves the league leaders sharing points after a determined performance from the visitors.
Colombian striker Camilo Duran opened the scoring in the 18th minute with his 11th goal of the season, but two quick United goals stunned the home crowd. Australian forward Zac Sapsford leveled in the 28th minute before defender Neil Farrugia put the visitors ahead.
The home side piled forward in the second half, and Ireland defender Liam Scales equalized in the 64th minute with a header. Despite constant pressure from Celtic, the visitors' defense held firm to force the draw.
Goalkeepers Jack Walton and Sam Johnstone made crucial late saves to preserve the deadlock. Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin saw his side withstand intense pressure to secure a valuable point at Parkhead.
Dundee United remain winless at Parkhead since St Stephen's Day 1992, though this result demonstrates their growing resilience. Despite recent Europa League struggles, Celtic's domestic form remains strong with nine wins in ten fixtures.
