Motherwell 2-3 Celtic: highlights from the decisive away win

Celtic made it three wins from four against The Steelmen this season with a hard-fought 3-2 victory at Fir Park on Thursday evening, keeping the Hoops firmly in the driving seat of the title race…

It wasn’t pretty at times, but when has a trip to Fir Park ever been straightforward? Stuart Kettlewell’s side – who memorably handed us a 2-0 defeat on that same ground back in December – gave Celtic another stern examination, but the Bhoys had the character and the quality to come away with all three points. With the title race as tight as it’s been all season, this was absolutely the kind of result that separates champions from nearly-men.

Elliot Watt, a persistent thorn in our side this campaign, got on the scoresheet again for Motherwell, but it wasn’t enough to deny us. Celtic have now beaten The Steelmen 3-2 twice this season – the first time coming via a Daizen Maeda header deep into stoppage time at Paradise back in October – so there’s a pleasing pattern to this if you’re a Bhoy. Three points, staying in control, job done.

Alasdair Munn

Alasdair Munn has followed Celtic through thick and thin since his father first took him to Parkhead as a young boy growing up in Stirling. That early experience shaped a lifelong devotion to the club and a genuine curiosity about the stories, characters, and moments that have defined Celtic across the decades. He brings that long-view perspective to everything he writes, believing the history of the club is just as important as whatever is happening on the pitch this weekend. His writing tends to focus on the deeper currents running through Celtic life: the cultural identity of the support, the significance of the club within the broader Scottish and Irish diaspora story, and the way football intersects with community. He has a particular fondness for the less-told tales, the players who never quite made the headlines, the matches that deserve to be remembered, and the supporters whose loyalty kept the club standing during difficult years. When he is not writing or watching football, Alasdair can usually be found walking the hills of Central Scotland, arguing about music, or reading history that has absolutely nothing to do with football. He contributes to The Celtic Star because he believes the club deserves writing that respects both its past and its supporters.
