Celtic head coach Wilfried Nancy will hope to win his third consecutive game and close the gap at the top of the Scottish Premiership table as his side takes on Motherwell at Fir Park on Tuesday night (kick-off: 8 pm).
The 48-year-old boss has secured a 4-2 win against basement side Livingston at the weekend, where a Benjamin Nygren double, followed by strikes from Yang Hyun-Jun and Arne Engels, helped them go within three points of league leaders Hearts, who lost to Hibs earlier in the day.
In contrast, their hosts Motherwell saw their 10-game unbeaten run come to an end at Ibrox, as Thelo Aasgaard’s second-half goal for Rangers helped them leapfrog Jens Berthel Askou’s team in the table. The Fir Park side are now in fourth.
