The Story in 60 Seconds

Celtic captain Callum McGregor has called on his teammates to take responsibility and help striker Kasper Hogh end his 13-game goal drought. Hogh, an £11 million summer signing from Bodo/Glimt, provided an assist for Camilo Duran before being substituted at halftime during Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Dundee United. McGregor emphasized that the squad must protect the forward by creating better opportunities and playing to his strengths.

Celtic salvaged a point against Dundee United through a Liam Scales header after goals from Zac Sapsford and Neil Farrugia put United ahead. Manager Martin O'Neill started three natural center forwards across the attack, which McGregor noted contributed to an inconsistent team shape and a lack of control during matches.
