Celtic don't stop at Motherwell as Captain America proves Qatar credentials - 3 things we learned

Celtic came out as 2-1 winner in their Premiership match with Motherwell at Fir Park.

Kyogo Furuhashi opened the scoring inside the first quarter when home midfielder Callum Slattery's dithered on the ball and allowed Matt O'Riley to play a square ball across the box. It could have been so different had Steelman Kevin Van Veen converted upon rounding Hoops goalkeeper Joe Hart in the opening few minutes but his shot only found the post.

It wasn't Ange Postecoglou's side at their scintillating best but they did have it in the net again when Jota notched past Liam Kelly, but the offside flag cut that off. Giorgos Giakoumakis should have put it out of sight but Daizen Maeda looked to have made sure of the points before a goal from Ross Tierney halved the deficit instantly. Here are three things we learned from the Celtic performance as they remain seven points clear at the top.
