3 Celtic talkers as Ange Postecoglou's side defeat Motherwell to book place at Hampden

PRECISE PASSING

Throughout the game, the Hoops were accurate in their passing. It allowed them to create plenty of chances and dominate possession. The distribution from back to front was relatively consistent, although goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist did have a few misplaced kick-outs at times. Overall, though, the Scottish champions were able to fashion many opportunities due to their excellent on-the-ball performance. Several times throughout the 4-0 victory, the Celtic midfield passed in triangles which allowed them to play out of tight scenarios and break at pace when required. Matt O'Riley, Reo Hatate and Aaron Mooy dictated play, and were a joy to watch at times.
