What channel is Motherwell v Celtic? TV and live stream details, team news, referee, VAR

The Portuguese winger is expected to be included in the squad after rejoining the Parkhead side from Rennes as Kyogo Furuhashi moved in the opposite direction.

The match also promises to be a momentous occasion for Celtic captain Callum McGregor, who will make his 500th appearance for the club at Fir Park.

Celtic go into the match with a 10-point lead over Rangers at the top of the table. Brendan Rodgers’ side also have a game in hand over their Glasgow rivals.

Motherwell, meanwhile, play their first fixture since the resignation of manager Stuart Kettlewell, with Stephen Frail placed in caretaker charge for the visit of the defending champions.

The club cited “personal abuse” against Kettlewell as the reason for the manager walking out on Monday, with his team fifth in the standings, after criticism began to affect his family at games.
