Celtic's Premiership title precession hit a bump on the road after Kevin van Veen pounced to wreck Ange Postecoglou’s perfect Parkhead record.
The Motherwell striker stunned the home crowd with a second half leveller to cancel out Callum McGregor’s opener to become the first side to take points off the league leaders on their own patch all season.
The Hoops were left huffing and puffing against Stuart Kettlewell’s superbly drilled side and they still need another two wins to stick green and white ribbons on the trophy.
Celtic were without injured Jota, Liel Abada and Reo Hatate – and Postecoglou will be hoping at least one of them will be fit to face Rangers in the Scottish Cup semi-finals next weekend after a frustrating afternoon on league duty.
