Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Celtic will look to retain top position in the standings when they take on Motherwell on Saturday afternoon. The Hoops outplayed Livingston 3-0 in their last league match and they are seen as favourites ti beat the Well as well. Even though first-choice goalkeeper Joe Hart is banned for the game, we are tempted to put our money on the title holders, who are eyeing their eighth consecutive win over Motherwell at Fir Park.
The hosts failed to find the net in the previous two league fixtures, which is yet another reason why away triumph should be considered. All Biereth, Obika, and Butcher are out of contention with injuries for the home side, while Pape Souare is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. In their last meeting at the venue Celtic defeated Motherwell 2-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Team (Celtic):
The Celtic Football Club boasts a proud over 100-year long history which has made The Bhoys a global brand thanks to their unprecedented social awareness that dates to the very beginnings of this Scottish club. Celtic was founded in 1887 with the purpose of alleviating poverty in the immigrant Irish population in the East End of Glasgow by raising money to help their fellow citizens.
The charity legacy continues to this day with Celtic still preserving their charitable traditions through the Celtic FC Foundation. The Celts play their home matches at Celtic Park in front of 60,000 people. One of the two most successful football clubs in Scotland with 47 Scottish League Championship titles to their name, Celtic have a long-standing fierce rivalry with Rangers, with the clubs known as the Old Firm.
European Cup winners from season 1966-67 and runners-up two years later, Celtic have been regular in European competitions since their first appearance in 1962-63. Their other most standout results have been runners-up in the EUFA Cup in 2003 and Intercontinental Cup in 1967.
