AI match recap
Celtic arrive needing a response after a difficult spell, but their league form and greater attacking depth still give them the stronger platform at Fir Park. Motherwell have lost attacking options in Dylan Williams and Regan Charles-Cook, making their transition play through Lowry and their wide runners especially important. The hosts have recent proof that they can disrupt Celtic here, yet they need a far sharper final pass than in their recent matches. Celtic’s left-sided progression and ability to turn sustained possession into second-ball pressure are the defining themes.
Head-to-head analysis
Celtic have generally controlled the recent fixture history, but Motherwell’s home win last season is a relevant warning: Fir Park can reward a compact block and clinical transition play against Celtic.
Injuries and absences
Motherwell lose attacking depth without Williams and Charles-Cook, reducing their options to change the pace of transitions. Johnston’s absence affects Celtic’s usual right-back balance, while any Carter-Vickers absence would make the visitors less settled against direct counters and aerial pressure.
