Celtic strolled to a brilliant 4-0 win over Dundee United, with former Hoops striker Chris Sutton reacting on X. Celtic were good value for their four goals, with some clinical finishing allowing the Bhoys to cruise through the game. However, Dundee United created a number of chances, and that will give Martin O’Neill something to think about ahead of LASK on Wednesday. Sutton, though, was impressed by what he saw. Celtic dismissed Dundee United with ease. That’s pretty impressive after last season’s struggles against them. Delighted for Camilo Duran getting his goal. Nygren’s goal was terrific 👏👏🍀 — Chris Sutton (@chris_sutton73) August 15, 2026 Celtic lost twice to Dundee United at Tannadice last season, and a 4-0 win shows the team is hitting top form early in the campaign ahead of two qualifying games against LASK over the next 10 days, which will play a major part in shaping Celtic’s season. To win 4-0 without Arne Engels, who is in London ahead of his move to West Ham, also shows where Celtic are at right now. Camilo Durán looks the part, even playing out of position on the right. He pressed well, worked hard and produced a brilliant finish for his goal. When he moved through the middle after Kasper Høgh went off, he again showed how much work he is prepared to do off the ball. Benjamin Nygren was instrumental once again, pulling the strings with two assists and a goal. He is absolutely flying despite having a short pre-season after playing at the World Cup with Sweden, and his own goal was a thing of beauty. Celtic’s attack looks in brilliant shape, while debuts for Mika Baur in midfield and Haissem Hassan off the bench gave supporters another glimpse of the options now available to O’Neill. The Hoops are still nowhere near full strength, but O’Neill has Celtic flying at the start of the season, with the LASK double-header now the next major test.
