Celtic squad revealed as quartet's absence offers Hampden hopefuls final chance to stake Rangers start claim

It's the final match pre-split but the title march is already very much on for Ange Postecoglou and Celtic ahead of their meeting with Motherwell.

The fixture perhaps presents a match between clubs with known fates. Postecoglou's side are 12 points clear at the top of the Premiership and two more wins should formally seal back-to-back titles under the Australian, while Motherwell have all but alleviated fears of the dreaded drop that looked very real prior to a surge of good form under new boss Stuart Kettlewell.

But neither will look to be in second gear here as the season winds down. It's also a final chance for Celtic stars to impress ahead of next weekend's Scottish Cup tie with Rangers, and it'll be the same squad that took on Kilmarnock last weekend, with the addition of Cameron Carter-Vickers. Reo Hatate, Liel Abada and James Forrest remain out, as does Jota.
