Celtic continued their excellent league form throughout December, winning all five of theirScottish Premier League games. A solitary goal fromGary Hooper in the first half was enough to defeatDundee Utd[58] whilst aVictor Wanyama strike from 25 yards saw off the challenge ofHearts at Celtic Park the following week.[59] Celtic travelled to Italy to faceUdinese in theUEFA Europa League and claimed a 1–1 draw, a result which meant they would exit the tournament at the group stages.[60]Gary Hooper added to his seasonal goal tally in a 2–0 win overSt Johnstone atMcDiarmid Park.[61]Georgios Samaras scored both in a 2–1 home win versusKilmarnock.[62] Celtic's last league game of 2011 was a home game against arch-rivalsRangers.Joe Ledley scored the only goal of the game as Celtic won 1–0.[63] The result meant that Celtic had overturned a 15-point deficit in theScottish Premier League and moved top of the league, two points clear of Rangers in the title race.
