MOTHERWELL manager Steven Hammell was frustrated with his Motherwell players after they went down narrowly to Celtic, saying they should have prevented Reo Hatate’s wonder-strike that won the game.
Hammell was annoyed that his men failed to close down Hatate before he cracked the ball past Liam Kelly from outside the area, saying they had been warned about the corner routine that Celtic executed in order for the midfielder to get his shot away.
"It's something we'd highlighted,” Hammell said. “It's a corner routine that they do - they'll take two out and miss one and hit that space at the edge of the box. We've showed it - they've done it quickly, which we've showed, so it shouldn't have been a surprise to us.
