Ange Postecoglou has been Down Under but is looking to for another three points to help keep the Hoops at the top in their quest to retain the title.
Kyogo looks to redeem the previous miss with a lovely run into the box. Although they will have to cope without captain Callum McGregor in their next league clash as he was shown red late on against the Steelmen for a last man challenge. There was also a late red card for [Callum McGregor](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/callum-mcgregor) for a dubious last man professional foul. I think the way the game played out, we could have done that. But Postecoglou reckons his side were still well worth the win, having only been pegged back after Kyogo's opener by Josip Juranovic chesting the ball beyond Joe Hart and into his own net. Sead Haksabanovic replaces Kyogo for Celtic. Matt O'Riley whips the ball into the box as it flicks off the head of a Motherwell defender to give the hosts a corner. It's a game we could have got something out of. Celtic look for a penalty as Kyogo collides in the box but the referee doesn't entertain the shouts. Celtic had some chances but we did also. However up stepped Reo Hatate who’s thunderous second half strike ensured his side remain at the Scottish Premiership summit. Celtic are put through a spell of late pressure as Motherwell get bodies into the box but it turns into a game of head tennis before the referee blows for a foul.

[Cameron Carter-Vickers](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/all-about/cameron-carter-vickers), [Carl Starfelt](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/all-about/carl-starfelt) and Giorgos Giakoumakis all being ruled out of this afternoon's clash.

From the cinch Premiership and League 2, to the Champions League and the Europa Conference League, we have every blade of grass covered. As for Motherwell, Stevie Hammell will have made use of the international break to ensure that his players were were well prepared for this match and will likely have started considering his team selection earlier this week. [Ange Postecoglou](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/all-about/ange-postecoglou) has had to make changes.
Joe Hart will start in goals. A back line will need to consist of Josip Juranovic, Moritz Jenz, Stephen Welsh and Greg Taylor. You'd imagine then that the ...
You’d imagine then that the manager would play is preferred three of Callum McGregor, Reo Hatate and Matt O’Riley. However, Ange Postecoglou will be hoping his Scottish Champions can bounce back in emphatic fashion. Joe Hart will start in goals.
Today's a big match for Celtic vs Motherwell and this is the team we think Ange Postecoglou will pick.
