Will curse fact he was off injured as Celtic scored but could have no complaints as red was produced for lunge on Izaguirre . JAROSLAW FOJUT 6 . A helpless bystander as Commons struck . Won vast majority of long balls Celtic threw into his area . CALLUM MORRIS 6 . Was relieved to see Griffiths fire into side-net after short back-pass . Will take pride in keeping Griffiths quiet .

Jackie McNamara ( centre ) and his Dundee United players are clearly gutted after the League Cup final loss . RYAN DOW 6 . Hit the turf upon being nudged by Brown but probably a little too easily for Bobby Madden ’ s liking . Tireless shift . MARIO BILATE 5 . Asked to fill Ciftci ’ s boots and struggled initially .

Won his individual battle with Bilate with something to spare . Kris Commons put The Bhoys ahead on the half hour mark with his 11th goal of the season in all competitions . VIRGIL VAN DIJK 7 . Almost opened the scoring with looping header and took the minimal attacking threat of United in his stride . EMILIO IZAGUIRRE 7 . Fortunate to escape booking for upending Dow then found himself on receiving end of Dillon ’ s reckless lunge . NIR BITTON 7 . Couple of heat-seeking passes from deep deserved better . Jarred his knee and made way for Henderson . Celtic captain Scott Brown used all his experience to guide Celtic to victory at Hampden Park on Sunday . SCOTT BROWN 7 . Anxious moment as Dow went down from his nudge . Sluggish start to the game but relished the task of dragging his side over the line . KRIS COMMONS 7 . Kept his composure to fire his side ahead at the second attempt . A goal that justifies the new contract in itself . STEFAN JOHANSEN 8 . Herculean work-rate is now taken as read but the Norwegian ’ s game intelligence is now a standard feature of every Celtic performance . Stefan Johansen ( left ) , was in fine form on Sunday , clashed with Dundee United 's Ryan Dow . ANTHONY STOKES 8 . Lively and effective down the left . A day of redemption after failing to trap for the Inter match . LEIGH GRIFFITHS 6 . Uncertain touch and runs that went rewarded added up to a frustrating day for the striker . Made way for Guidetti .
