Do Dundee United have Scotland's best midfield three?

Do Dundee United currently possess the best midfield three in the Scottish Premiership? That was the question posed after Jim Goodwin's side extended their unbeaten run to six games with a hard-earned 2-2 draw against reigning champions Celtic.

The midfield trio of Zidane Iqbal, Lyall Cameron, and Dylan Tait controlled the first half with remarkable composure. Former United player Scott Allan noted that the three are on the same wavelength, showing a willingness to stay on the ball and invite pressure, which creates opportunities to exploit gaps behind the opposition's defensive line.

Zidane Iqbal, in particular, received high praise. Former wing-back Allan Preston likened the Iraq international to a "watch battery" for his ability to keep the team ticking and rarely give the ball away. This tactical discipline and fluidity in the middle of the park were central to Dundee United's ability to unsettle the champions.

While Celtic's second-half changes shifted the momentum, the visitors held firm to secure a point. Manager Jim Goodwin expressed some disappointment at not securing a historic win at Celtic Park, but credited the ongoing development of his squad. Following a challenging start to the season, this current run of form has established the team in a positive position after 11 games.
