Celtic v Motherwell: Teams are revealed ahead of the big Premiership kick-off

Celtic and Motherwell have revealed their teams ahead of their Premiership clash at Celtic Park this afternoon.

Ange Posecoglou has made one change to the side that beat Kilmarnock 4-1 on Sunday, as Cameron Carter-Vickers came in for Yuki Kobayashi.

That meant Daizen Maeda and Kyogo were up front again for the Glasgow giants.

Motherwell boss Stuart Kettlewell has made two changes to the team that lost 2-1 at home to Dundee United on Saturday. Callum Slattery and Harry Paton came in for Dean Cornelius and Mikael Mandron.

That left Kevin van Veen up front to try and continue his rich vein of form that has seen him score 23 goals this season.

The Steelmen are looking for their first win at Parkhead since December 2015 when a Louis Moult double earned them a shock 2-1 triumph.

But the Glasgow giants have one hand firmly on the Premiership trophy and won't want to let any of their 12-point lead over Rangers slip away. In all competitions, they're on a formidable 17-game winning run.

Celtic are on top form, with an astonishing goal-difference of plus-78, 29 more than their city rivals, so Motherwell will be looking to keep it tight at the back if they can.

CELTIC: Hart, Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor, McGregor, Iwata, O'Riley, Haksabanovic, Maeda, Kyogo.

Subs: Bain (GK), Mooy, Turnbull, Kobayashi, Oh, Bernabei, Summers, Ralston, Vata.

MOTHERWELL: Kelly, Johnston, McGinn, Butcher, Casey, Furlong, Goss, Slattery, Paton, Spittal, van Veen.

Subs: Oxborough (GK), O'Donnell, Lamie, Mugabi, Aitchison, McKinstry, Blaney, Mandron, Miller.

Referee: John Beaton.
