Motherwell have managed to put a couple of wins together to take themselves away from relegation, but they have a ton of injury issues and nothing but three points will do today.
Even if the title has now gone it’s vital that Celtic put good run of form together ahead of next season so it looks like Lenny is still holding off from testing out some of the fringe players just now:

One of the more notable exclusions from the starting XI is Shane Duffy again so you have to assume there are zero plans to bring him back next season, but it’s another chance for Welsh to impress and prove that he should be a regular starter going forward.
Tom Rogic comes back into the midfield so there may be hopes that he can find some form again, although quite a few of the supporters are upset to see Soro only make the bench again:
What has Soro done to deserve this

Poor Soro. Best holding mid at the club by a mile. Sadly once again falling foul to the best mates act by a poor manager that’s spent the full season putting self interest before what’s best for the club.

It’s clear that Neil Lennon wants to start Scott Brown as often as he can so it’s not a great surprise, while lining up with Brown and Soro would be overly defensive.
Motherwell’s recent performance against the Rangers showed they are happy to just put everyone behind the ball and defend for their lives, so hopefully the added creativity and goal threat of Rogic and Turnbull results in a few goals this afternoon.
