Dundee United manager Jackie McNamara has criticised referee Bobby Madden following their Scottish League Cup final loss to Celtic.

Kris Commons and James Forrest both scored and United captain Sean Dillon was sent off as Celtic won 2-0 at Hampden Park.

"A lot of the decisions I wasn't happy with today, as you can imagine," manager McNamara told BBC Scotland.

"A lot of things went against us today, a lot of inconsistencies, shall we say. You need those little breaks, you need the referees to be consistent with certain things, but it's very hard when you're playing with 10 men. Last week we played with nine men.

"We lost two goals today, we rode our luck at times, but going forward the last pass, the last bit of decision making let us down a little bit. We had opportunities to carve them open and we didn't take advantage of that."

United meet Celtic again in a Scottish Cup quarter-final replay on Wednesday.
