Today's a big match for Celtic vs Motherwell and this is the team we think Ange Postecoglou will pick.

In attack, Jota should return to the starting line-up, with Daizen Maeda and Liel Abada both available on the opposite flank. Today, injuries are again a concern in certain areas, but the manager should have a strong squad to pick from. They say every Celtic game is a big game and you can understand that when considering this afternoon’s match at home to Motherwell.

NOT long now until kick off as Celtic bid to restore their advantage at the top of the Premiership table.Ange Postecoglou's side are looking for a rea.

Jota’s cross was met by the onrushing Matt O’Riley, who scored a similar goal for Denmark’s U21s during the week, but Liam Kelly managed to stop it from crossing the line. He couldn’t, however, stop Kyogo from reacting and smashing the ball into the net. Callum McGregor drove at the Motherwell defence before slotting a pass into Celtic’s superstar from Portugal.

Chris Sutton reckons the 'we never stop' Ange Postecoglou mantra should be changed ahead of club football's resumption.

Home and away matches that could make or break their chances of progression to the knockout phase of the competition. They’ve been, by and large, going into every game knowing they couldn’t afford to make a mistake, especially in the Premiership. "We never stop is the mantra from Postecoglou but it should be 'we need to get restarted' after that slip at St Mirren prior to the international matches," Sutton wrote in the

“Já we talked about the intensity of the program. “I expect a different game every time we play a team, to be honest. Naturally, I'd like to play as much as I can, but I know that if you're not playing, é for the benefit of the team.'' “By the time we're heading there, most of the other great winter sports will already be there. some time and the process for us é just see after each game how people are traveling physically and mentally and making decisions from there.'' In a country like Australia, where there are many sports, people's attention can be divided.'' ;

Motherwell manager Stevie Hammell is expecting a relentlessly difficult test up against the Scottish champions at Celtic Park today.

We’ve looked at what they’re good at, which is a lot, and we’ve looked at what we think we can do as a group, and how it suits us.” They start fast, they’ll get the ball in play, get after you and try to win the game early. I need to do well, our staff need to do well.

Reo Hatate hit a spectacular second as Celtic eventually saw off Motherwell. DESPITE their own best efforts at times, Celtic managed to ...

A Sean Goss corner was cleared to the edge of the area where Blair Spittal helped the ball back in towards the back post. Barry Maguire was slack in possession for the visitors, allowing McGregor to burst forward and feed the ball to Jota on the left. Juranovic stepped up and crashed the ball off the bar. The winger clipped the ball in and found Matt O’Riley arriving in acres of space to head at Kelly from point-blank range. It was late enough not to make too much of a difference, and you could hardly argue that Celtic didn’t deserve the three points over the piece. It helps in such situation though when you have a player with the talent of Reo Hatate.

The sun was back out at Celtic Park, the champions back on top of the league. He rolled a corner to the Japanese midfielder and his dipping shot found the corner of Kelly’s goal. Blair Spittal sent a hopeful ball into the box following a corner and as Hart moved to the right of his goal to collect it, Juranovic – clearly unaware of his team-mate’s positioning – chested the ball back towards goal. The crowd grumbled at the standard of passing. Celtic were more disjointed, more lax with their passing and for moments in the match looked uneasy under pressure from their spirited guests. Yet, like all champions do, they rode out the storms that came their way and found a way to win.

It was a poor goal to concede and allowed Motherwell something to defend. It was a similar goal to his opener against Rangers back in February. Celtic made it 2-1 thanks to a great goal from Reo Hatate.

ANITA DOBSON – 7/10 – The beauty and frailty of Angeball. But a majority fell off their game and the blow of a self-destructive strike caused lag and a brief loss of belief. MR.KOBAYASHI – 6/10 – A thief in the night. So the boss gets credit for his picks, his eye for a player. ABADASS – 6.5/10 – Spiced up our right and had them chasing shadows when he appeared at pace and didn’t let up. NOTEBOOK – 6/10 – Since eviscerating The Abominables, he’s failed to conjour up any hits. After the break, they tightened up his side and we fell off in intensity so Daizen was isolated and starved of the right service. But Reo had other ideas and the skipper thankfully had a last burst of energy to sacrifice himself for the cause. THE BUILDER – 5.5/10 – Young Rogic seemed marginally unable to find his deft touch, almost repeating similar not-quite-there games of recent times. JURAN JURAN – 6/10 – “Hey, Joe, check out my fake boobies, man!” he yelled, as the ball was dropping from on high. He harnessed that sharp awareness with physical wrangling of their burly forwards and really was key to us getting the points. We got the answer from a surprising source – and Jenz was terrific in shifting the ball quickly and accurately to keep Angeball functioning properly.

From one paradise to another, someone in the press box remarked. The music world lost one of it’s recent icons in Coolio this week after the American rapper died aged 59. The 26-year-old Dane – a holding midfielder – appeared after Callum McGregor’s red card.

But ultimately, it helped the Hoops hang on to the win and the three points. The Hoops had not won in their previous three games though, having lost twice and drawn once, and thus, they needed this result. Ultimately, the game was decided by a wonder strike from Reo Hatate, who certainly has a point to prove after not getting a single minute for Japan during the international break.

Celtic would find it 'very difficult to reject' a 'mind-boggling' £15million offer for winger Liel Abada, Alex McLeish has told Football Insider.

It’s also worth stressing that he’s only 20 years old, so he should only get better and better in the coming years. He is still young so there is so much room to grow there. The 63-year-old said: “I probably haven’t seen enough of him to put that valuation on him. “Is he there yet? There is no doubting he has started this season very well, Celtic have as a club. They have apparently been ‘thrilled’ by his development at Parkhead and expect it to continue apace under Ange Postecoglou.

LIEL ABADA knows just how tight the margins can be when competing at the very highest level. And if the Celtic winger had been in any doubt, his…

He had a wonderful opportunity to open the scoring against Real on matchday one but dragged his effort wide after being sent scarpering through on goal in the first half at Parkhead. The inside forward boasts a remarkable goal scoring record – the wide player scores roughly one in every three games – but is still to score his first Champions League goal. Hopefully, next time I will score.” “I came from Israel and it's very difficult to be alone when you are so young, but from the first time I came to Celtic all the coaches and players gave me the confidence I need,” he said.
