Our prediction for this Scottish Premiership match:
Celtic will look to move one step closer to defending their trophy when they take on Motherwell on Wednesday evening. The Hoops are eyeing their seventh consecutive league win, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. You should bear in mind that the league leaders scored 17 goals in total in the previous four league fixtures. Captain Callum McGregor has yet to recover from a long-term knee injury, while fit-again defender Carl Starfelt is pushing for a start.
The Well, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 loss to Hearts, and given their 14-game losing run in meetings with Celtic, anything but a routine away triumph would be a big surprise. The likes of Joseph Efford, Nathan McGinley, Jake Carroll, and Rolando Aarons are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
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.
