Celtic v Motherwell XI's confirmed as star makes first star and duo say farewell

The team news is in from Celtic Park as Motherwell travel to the Hoops for their final Premiership match of 2021/22.

It's been a successful term in ML1 and they head to Glasgow in a jubilant mood after securing Europa Conference League football and a top five finish with a win against Hearts on Wednesday.

Pressure now subsides slightly on this one but there is still something to play for, as dropped points here and a Dundee United win at Ross County would see them finish fifth instead of fourth.

Manager Graham Alexander will want to finish as high as he can on a day where much of the focus will be on Celtic lifting this year's title.

Illness has caused havoc at Fir Park in the last week and more players caught the bug ahead of this clash. Victor Nirennold comes in for his first start in defence.

The Hoops have not rotated ahead of their big day as they say goodbye to long-serving players Tom Rogic and Nir Bitton.

Celtic XI: Hart; Ralston, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor; McGregor, Turnbull, Rogic, Jota, Maeda, Kyogo.

Subs: Bain, Bitton, Giakoumakis, Abada, McCarthy, Ideguchi, O'Riley, Forrest, Welsh.

Motherwell XI: Kelly; O'Donnell, Ojala, Mugabi, Nirennold, Lamie, Carroll; Goss, Cornelius, Slattery; Shields, Efford.

Subs: Connelly, Woolery, O'Hara, Van Veen, Ojala, Donnelly, Tierney, Campbell, Mahon.
