Celtic vs Motherwell LIVE score and goal updates from the Premiership clash at Parkhead

It's the game of the weekend as two of Scotland's top four battle it out.

Celtic host Motherwell with the Premiership title race going to the wire.

Jens Berthel Askou's men have been the entertainers of Scottish football this term - and have already seen off the Hoops this term at Fir Park. Last time out at Celtic Park, it took an injury time Daizen Maeda to separate the sides.

But Martin O'Neill knows that his side can't afford any more slip-ups as they look to defend their crown. A win over the Steelmen would cut the gap on table-topping Hearts to just two points, before the Jambos' face Kilmarnock tonight.

But there has already been plenty of twists and turns in the fight for glory this term.

A win for Motherwell would cut the gap on Rangers to just a point - and crank up the pressure on the top three with the league split just around the corner.
