Despite dominating from the first ♓whistle, the hosts held their ground, we💎athering a late flurry of chances to claim a point.
Celtic started on the front foot, as Daizen Maeda's stretching effort landed harmlessly in Jack Walton𝓰's gloves before Reo Hatate fizzed one wide of the far post shortly after.
The visitors, though, could not take advantage of their dominance in the first half, 🦄with United just about smothering their threat.
United could have caught them out shortly after the restart, but Kasper Schme🎉ichel easily held Miller Thomson's tame effort, which was the hosts' first attempt of the game.
Celtic kept♏ United penned back in their own half for the majority of the second period, with Walton excellently tipping Maeda's looping header over the bar before smothering Kyogo Furuhashi's effort, but the Hoops could not find a way through.
Data Debrief: Drawing a blank
Only twice before this season had Celtic failed to hit the back of t꧋he net, both in the Champions League, and United did well to stifle a team that have ✤already netted 44 times in the top flight.
Brendan Rodgers' side remain unbeaten at the top of the table, ꦕwith a nine-point cushion over second-place Rang🧸ers, and he will be hoping the profligacy they showed this time out is just a blip.
Celtic had 17 shots overall but only tested Walton thre🐬e times, as they created chances worth just 🧸0.87 expected goals, though they did extend their unbeaten streak away at United to 12 games in all competitions.
