Celtic face their biggest pre-split test as they welcome high-flying Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership at Parkhead on Saturday (kick-off: 3pm).
Having closed the gap on league leaders Hearts to five points with a 2-1 win over Aberdeen last week, Martin O’Neill’s men made it a week to remember as they beat rivals Rangers on penalties in the Scottish Cup quarter-final after the sides drew 0-0 after extra-time at Ibrox on Sunday.
As for their visitors, Motherwell's hopes of a top-three finish hit a major speed bump as Jens Berthel Askou’s side fell to a surprise 2-1 defeat away to Dundee at Dens Park on Saturday. Just their second defeat in the last 11 league games, the result leaves them four points adrift of third-place Rangers in the table.
