Realistically we were the only major challengers to Celtic for the Premier title so our visit to Parkheact was crucial to say the least. United made a bright start and were presented with a golden opportunity to go ahead when Paul Hegarty was pulled down in the box by Danny McGrain after 19 minutes.
We'd struggled all season from the spot and Hamish McAlpine, who'd been entrusted with the task, came up, only for Barnes to smother his effort and sending Hamish scurrying back to his own charge.
Celtic, spurred by this reprieve stepped up their efforts, took charge and a minute from the interval Joe Craig headed Celtic into the lead. Five minutes into the second half Doyle was brought down by Hamish McAlpine and Ronnie Glavin tucked home the spot kick. From then on we were chasing the game and though the Tannadice men never gave up, that second goal made sure Celtic had adequate breathing space.
