Martin O'Neill signed off with a pristine domestic record as Celtic defeated Dundee 1-0 to move level with Hearts at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

Interim boss O'Neill will step aside after Wilfried Nancy was officially confirmed as Celtic's new manager. His first game in charge will be against Hearts.

And O'Neill departs with a win after Daizen Maeda's 11th-minute header settled Wednesday's contest at Celtic Park.

Simon Murray rattled the crossbar for Dundee but O'Neill moves aside having closed the eight-point gap to Hearts he inherited when he took temporary charge following Brendan Rodgers' exit.

Hearts, who have played a game more than the Bhoys, suffered late disappointment in a 1-1 draw with Kilmarnock at Tynecastle.

Lawrence Shankland's lofted effort in the 49th minute looked like it would give Hearts a much-needed win before they face Celtic at the weekend, but Bruce Anderson pounced when Alexander Schwolow spilt Liam Polworth's effort in injury time.

Rangers needed a dramatic 98th-minute penalty from Nedim Bajrami to draw 2-2 at Dundee United, who had twice led via fantastic efforts from Zac Sapsford and Amar Fatah.

Jayden Meghoma's fine long-range strike cancelled out the first of those, and Bajrami found the top corner from 12 yards after Max Aarons was fouled in the box by Will Ferry – Youssef Chermiti having moments earlier missed a sitter for the fourth-place Gers.

Data Debrief: Maeda leads the way for Celtic again

Maeda has now scored five goals in the Premiership this season. He had four shots in total against Dundee, with two on target, while he was responsible for 0.57 of Celtic's 1.98 expected goals.

Celtic have won 22 of their last 24 home games against Dundee in all competitions (D2) since a 0-2 league defeat in May 2001, during O’Neill’s first spell in charge.

Rangers attempted 32 shots against Dundee United, their highest total in a single match in the Premiership this season, and indeed the most any team has mustered in a top-flight fixture this term.
