Celtic kick-off at 1.30pm against Motherwell at Fir Park as league leaders for this first time this season, knowing that a win consolidates the midweek triumph over theRangers and will heap a huge amount of pressure on the latest Ibrox side in front of their own supporters later this afternoon against third placed Hearts.

But before that Celtic need to ensure that there are no slip-ups at what can be a difficult venue against a Motherwell side that is capable of causing problems.

Joe Hart has the gloves as usual and there’s one change to the back four that played so well on Wednesday night with Tony Ralston replacing Josip Juranovic at right back. Cameron Carter-Vickers, Carl Starfelt and Greg Taylor all start at Fir Park.

The midfield three are Callum McGregor, Reo Hatate and Tom Rogic who replaces Matt O’Brien who is carrying a knock.

Up from Postecoglou starts with Liel Abada – who was absolutely magnificent against theRangers, Giorgos Giakoumakis (again outstanding in midweek) and Daizen Maeda out left.

On the bench this afternoon are Bain, Bitton, McCarthy, Jota, Johnston, O’Riley, Forrest, Welsh and Juranovic.
