Celtic starting XI to face Motherwell at Paradise

Celtic return to domestic action this afternoon when they play host to Motherwell (KO: 3pm), and Brendan Rodgers’ side also are looking to get back to winning ways. The Hoops drew 0-0 with Hibernian last weekend, and then suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat to SC Braga in the Europa League on Thursday night. Now the focus is on today’s Premiership match and the need to get all three points against a Motherwell side that is unbeaten so far this season. The manager has made four changes from the side which took on Braga, with Anthony Ralston and Marcelo Saracchi slotting into midfield, while Luke McCowan and Reo Hatate start in midfield alongside Callum McGregor. Kick-off at Celtic Park is 3pm and you can follow the build-up and all the action on the club website’s Match Centre.
