Motherwell v Celtic: Scottish Premiership betting preview, tip & tv details

Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership
Sky Sports Football, 12.30pm Saturday

Celtic can edge a win at Fir Park against a Motherwell side who are likely to provide considerably more tricky opposition than last week's no-hopers St Johnstone.

The Hoops begin life without Kieran Tierney in Lanarkshire, not that Arsenal's new £25 million defender would have played anyway as he is injured.

Celtic swept away the Saints 7-0 last week before returning from Romania with a decent 1-1 Champions League draw against Cluj.

Motherwell couldn't score at Livingston last week but before that they had been in fine form this season.

It could be close, but Celtic's superior squad have enough to pinch maximum points.

Recommendation
Celtic to win & under 3.5 goals
2pts 11-10 Coral
