Motherwell make the trip to Celtic Park this afternoon in the final Premiership fixture of the weekend and the team news is in from Glasgow’s East End ahead of the 3pm kickoff.
Steelmen boss Graham Alexander was named Premiership Manager of the Month earlier this week and he’ll be hoping for a repeat of the form that saw his side win three of their four games last month.
Manager of the month. Again 👏

Fir Park striker Tony Watt is the Scottish Premiership’s top scorer and has hit the net in back-to-back league fixtures, scoring nine goals in 17 appearances so far this season in the league, and he could make it double figures this afternoon against his former club.
The omens don’t look great for Motherwell though, with Celtic having been ahead by half-time in the last eleven meetings between the two sides at Parkhead and going on to win each of them.
However, Motherwell’s recent impressive performances have them sitting fourth in the table and a win this afternoon would see them close the gap on Hearts in third place after they faced Rangers at Tynecastle earlier today.
Here are how the sides line up at Parkhead this afternoon as Motherwell travel to face Celtic:
