Motherwell v Celtic teams confirmed, with changes for both sides

Motherwell boss Graham Alexander and Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou have named their starting 11s for today's Fir Park showdown.

The Steelmen will be hoping they can stand in the way of a powerful side, which swept Rangers aside 3-0 in midweek as they leapfrogged their rivals to the top of the Premiership.

Motherwell go into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw at St Mirren on Tuesday.

Alexander makes one change from their line-up in Paisley, with Dean Cornelius coming in for ineligible Liam Shaw, due to his loan from today's opponents.

Ange Postecoglou makes three changes from the side that racked up such an emphatic win over Rangers. Tom Rogic, Anthony Ralston and Daizen Maeda come in for Josep Juranovic, Matt O'Riley and Jota, all of whom are on the bench.

Motherwell will be keen to keep an eye on Reo Hatate, who put in such a sparking display in midweek.

The Steelmen are currently fourth in the Premiership, but could move to within seven points of Hearts with a win, while Celtic could move four clear at the top should they triumph while Rangers lose to Hearts.

Motherwell have lost 2-0 and 1-0 home and away to Celtic this season, and will hope to get one over on the Glasgow giants today.

Motherwell line up as follows: Kelly, O'Donnelll, Solholm, Mugabi, Carroll, McGinley, Goss, Donnelly, Cornelius, Slattery, Van Veen.

Subs: Fox (GK), Woolery, Ojala, Amaluzor, Efford, Grimshaw, Tierney, Roberts, Nirennold.

Celtic go with: Hart, Ralston, Carter-Vickers, Starfelt, Taylor, McGregor, Hatate, Abada, Rogic, Maeda, Giakoumakis.

Subs: Bain (GK), Bitton, McCarthy, Johnston, O'Riley, Forrest, Welsh, Juranovic.
