FT: Motherwell 2-0 Celtic Player of the match Elijah Just tells Premier Sports: "It's obviously a joy to be a part of when it all comes together. "It will help us especially after the result a few days ago. We just need to keep pushing. "We'll take confidence from the game. " Here's your final 2025 Scottish Premiership table. .. FT: Motherwell 2-0 Celtic Alan Hutton Former Rangers defender on Premier Sports Celtic want to play the way Motherwell did FT: Motherwell 2-0 Celtic Liam Mc Leod BBC Sport Scotland on Sportsound 35 games without a single win against Celtic before tonight for Motherwell. They've not just beaten the champions, they've played them off the park. It's a haymaker of a result. Said it a few weeks ago, every time I think I've seen Celtics worst performance of the season they outdo themselves. Motherwell have been good but we're making them look like Barca with out schoolboy defending and tactics.

Nancy has picked up points against 10 man Aberdeen (barely) and an unlucky Falkirk.

Get him out before we're struggling for a top 4 finish! Dreadful stuff! !! Stephen The end of Nancy, I fancy Alex Nancy leave your keys on the desk and close the door behind you. Jamie It’s not acceptable for Celtic to sacrifice the league this year, to indulge one man’s experiment. This is unnecessary pain. Alan It's all over at Fir Park. Out fought. Out thought. Outclassed. Motherwell have been utterly outstanding. They've brushed their way by Celtic with ease. Incredible scenes in ML1. Motherwell 2-0 Celtic Arne Engels rattles a shot down the throat of Calum Ward. No danger at all. Here come the ole oles from the Motherwell fans with every pass. Motherell 2-0 Celtic We're into two additional minutes. Motherwell 2-0 Celtic Trusty's just papped a free header over at the near post from a corner. He really should have done better. Says it all. Even at this stage, Motherwell then take the goal kick short rather than just hoof it. Believe in the system. .. A comfortable win for Hibs, who move six points clear of their opponents. David Gray's side vastly improved after the break and Thibault Klidje broke the deadlock before Junior Hoilett sealed the win in stoppage time. Aberdeen had Kevin Nisbet's goal ruled out for offside after a very tight call. They improved late on after switching to a back four, but overall they carried too little threat. Jimmy Thelin's men drop into the bottom half. Motherwell 2-0 Celtic Remember, we're still going at Fir Park. The champions are doing all they can but Motherwell are holding firm. Three minutes of normal time left. Goals either side of half-time from Thelo Aasgaard and Emmanuel Fernandez are enough for a narrow Rangers victory at Ibrox. They didn't have it all their own way though and St Mirren will look back with regret that they were unable to take a point. Mikael Mandron did pull a goal back for the visitors, but only after Marcus Fraser had a spot-kick saved by Jack Butland. It's all over at Dens! Rangers 2-1 St Mirren That missed Marcus Fraser penalty looks even worse now. St Mirren have four minutes of added time to snatch a point. .. United move up to sixth in the Premiership with a convincing victory as Livingston stay four points adrift at the bottom. Zac Sapsford's close-range strike, a Ryan Mc Gowan own goal and an Amar Fatah solo effort secured the points before Connor Mc Lennan's late reply. Motherwell 2-0 Celtic Calum Ward is finally called into action but what a save that is. Benjamin Nygren forces the Well shotstopper into a sublime save in the top corner. Big, big hand. Dundee 2-1 Kilmarnock Ben Brannan comes close to an absolute screamer. Not the first time we've written that this season. The teenager sliced one with his right foot from distance that went less than a yard over the bar. Junior Hoilett Hibs seal the victory, and it is a howler from Aberdeen goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov. Josh Mulligan powers his way to the edge of the box, and shifts it to Hoilett. He drills a shot straight at the goalkeeper who lets it squirm into the net. Connor Mc Lennan Connor Mc Lennan has been Livi's most dangerous play and he cuts inside to fire home. It gives the hosts some late hope, but probably not much. Amar Fatah That's the points secured for United now. Substitute Amar Fatah goes on a mazy run before curling it into the far corner. Zac Sapsford scored his eighth goal of the season At a glance Sapsford opens scoring, with Mc Gowan's own goal and Fatah's solo effort securing points Mc Lennan fires late Livingston consolation United up to sixth & hosts seven adrift at bottom Dundee United returned to the Scottish Premiership's top six with a convincing victory at bottom side Livingston. Zac Sapsford's close-range strike, a Ryan Mc Gowan own goal and an Amar Fatah solo effort secured the points before Connor Mc Lennan's late reply. While it was only United's second win in 11 outings, they are now unbeaten in five after ending a eight-game wait for a victory away from home. Livingston, though, have now gone 18 games without a victory - 17 in the league - with nine of them at home and are four adrift at the bottom. Keep up to date with Livingston news on BBC Sport Read Dundee United news on BBC Sport They would have been hoping for the kind of fast start that produced two early goals and plenty plaudits against Celtic at the weekend, but it was United who were the ones quickest out the blocks. Sapsford's side-footed drive off a post set the tone and Dario Naamo came close twice after ghosting in at the back post, his first effort being cleared off the line by Danny Wilson, with the centre-back also deflecting wide a Luca Stephenson drive. The breakthrough came when a corner deflected off home striker Stevie May and Sapsford poked home from close range on the turn. Naamo was again denied by Prior's superb low save before the pressure continued after the break. Sapsford just failed to connect with a Will Ferry cross and a curling Craig Sibbald effort struck the near post. Livingston did manage some pressure, with goalkeeper Dave Richards denying Robbie Muirhead and Mc Lennan in quick succession. However, when Prior's punch off the line hit centre-half Mc Gowan's face and over his own line, the points were secured before Fatah's late solo goal and Mc Lennan's driven reply.
