THERE’S no better nights than under the Fir Park lights, said a banner unveiled by the Motherwell fans before this game. Unfortunately for them, it seems the Celtic players agree.
Two predatory goals from Liel Abada, a brilliant third from Reo Hatate and a Kyogo tap-in gave the League Cup holders easy passage into the semi-finals of this year’s tournament in Lanarkshire, at a ground where they have now hit 10 goals without reply in the three matches since Ange Postecoglou took over.
For all that Hatate’s finish was the one that had the Celtic punters purring, equally as impressive is the scoring record of Abada, who has followed up the 15 goals he hit in his debut season with eight already this term from just 16 appearances.
