Motherwell v Celtic

Full time. 1-1.

Undefeated still.

Didn’t deserve to lose tonight anyway though I’d need to see the decision again based on DB’s feedback. We played well for much of that but just hadn’t scored.

The goal :shamrock:

Still haven’t seen their goal due to the stream issues but Tierney and McGregor should have had Celtic in front before that.

Sinclair showed good character to bury the penalty so decisively after this manufactured controversy since the weekend.

A few players are a bit off their top level so I expect some changes at the weekend ahead of Anderlecht.

Nice to extend the unbeaten run anyway. We’ve been behind in a number of games during it, including the 2-0 half time deficit before going 3-2 behind after 70 odd minutes against them last season, but tonight was probably the latest stage in any of the 66 games where we’ve been trailing.

There was one game against St Johnstone at home that was close but I think that’s probably as close as it’s been.

I don’t think we played particularly well and there were one or two poor performances (Rogic, Griffiths, Boyata looked off their game, Lustig wasn’t great even apart from the goal) but we did create enough chances to win that.

Dembélé out for a couple of games and Roberts might be out for another spell now so we’re a bit short on attacking options outside the starting trio and Rogic/McGregor/Armstrong filling in which isn’t really ideal.

That St Johnstone game had a McGregor equaliser around the 75th minute mark and there was also the game against Hibs at home when McGinn scored twice for them in between McGregor’s two goals. I think he equalised after around 80 minutes in that game. My stream kept going but I thought Boyata was okay. I didn’t think Tierney was great. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ntcham and/or Kouassi get a game on Saturday.

Very soft.

I don’t concur. The replay angles haven’t all been clear but he clearly barges into the back of McGregor stupidly. Motherwell’s whinging is really starting to annoy me. Hope we beat them when we eventually get to play then again.

Motherwell are apoplectic. It’s very odd.

That was Celtic’s first penalty in the league this season.
