Former Motherwell manager Graham Alexander has revealed how hard he found it to win points off Celtic during his spell in charge at Fir Park.
The ex-Scotland international, who left the Lanarkshire club in July after losing to League of Ireland side Sligo Rovers in the Europa Conference League qualifying, said he tried everything to secure just one point against the Parkhead club. Throughout his 18 months in charge of Well he managed to get a least a draw against every side he faced apart from Celtic.
Ange Postecoglou's side have only lost one league game so far this season, away to St Mirren in September, and will be looking to maintain their nine-point lead at the top of the Premiership when they entertain Hearts on Wednesday evening. Hearts manager Robbie Neilson will be hoping to spring an upset as they look to cement their third place in the league, however Alexander knows it will be difficult for the Jambos.
