Celtic will look to get back to winning ways upon their return from the international break as they visit Motherwell at Fir Park in the Scottish Premiership this Sunday (kick-off: 12pm).
On a run of three consecutive defeats in all competitions, the 1-0 loss to Rangers last time out cut Celtic’s lead at the top of the table to just two points. With their Glasgow rivals playing 24 hours before them, Martin O’Neill’s men could start the clash against Motherwell in second place.
Motherwell are also desperate for a win after three consecutive defeats. Their 2-1 away defeat to Dundee in their last match meant they dropped to eighth, while they have won just once at home in the league this term.
Ahead of the game at Fir Park, The Scotsman has all the latest team news:
