📰 Team News: Celtic

The Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou has zero fitness worries at all before this game with a fully healthy group to pick from.

It looks as if The Bhoys may well use a 4-3-3 system for this one featuring Joe Hart, Anthony Ralston, C. Carter-Vickers, Carl Starfelt, Greg Taylor, David Turnbull, Callum McGregor, Tom Rogic, Jota, Kyogo Furuhashi and Daizen Maeda.

📰 Team News: Motherwell

Motherwell manager Graham Alexander has multiple availability issues to deal with. David Devine (Hamstring Injury) and Barry Maguire (Torn muscle bundle) are not able to play.

It’s our belief that The Steelmen will likely utilise a 3-4-1-2 formation, choosing Liam Kelly, Victor Nirennold, Bevis Mugabi, Ricki Lamie, Stephen O'Donnell, Dean Cornelius, Sean Goss, Jake Carroll, Callum Slattery, Joseph Efford and Connor Shields.

🧠 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Motherwell are certainly able to score a goal against this Celtic lineup, but it probably won’t be enough to prevent defeat.

We’re tipping a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 win for Celtic at the end of the 90 minutes. Should be an interesting one.
