Is there a Celtic vs Motherwell live stream? TV channel, PPV, ref, VAR and team news for Parkhead clash
Celtic will look to extinguish any talk of a title battle this season as they welcome Motherwell to Parkhead.
Brendan Rodgers' side dropped points domestically for just the second time all season as they were held by Dundee United at Tannadice in drab game unlikely to live long in the memory. The result, coupled with Rangers' 1-0 victory against Dundee, saw the gap at the top of the table narrow slightly to nine points - with a potentially powder keg Old Firm derby looming on the horizon to kick-off 2025.
But before then the Hoops will be determined to get back to winning ways against a Motherwell side who have flown under the radar this campaign, and sit in an impressive fourth place in the Premership table. Despite a red card decision Well boss Stuart Kettlewell blasted as 'the worst he has ever seen' the Steelmen held on for a point against Kilmarnock, after back-to-back victories - 1-0 against St Mirren and 4-3 against Dundee United. Celtic meanwhile have been formidable at home, conceding just twice in seven games (both against Aberdeen) and scoring 21 times. And fans will be expecting a reaction to the points dropped.

Team news
The Celtic squad had been struck down by a bug towards the end of last week, forcing Brendan Rodgers to field a makeshift starting XI at Tannadice. However, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Auston Trusty could return to the fold, while Celts are monitoring Alistair Johnston's hamstring injury. Nicolas Kuhn took a blow to the knee in training and the Hoops will assess his fitness.
Motherwell defender Steve Seddon is a doubt after coming off midway through the first-half against Kilmarnock on Friday night. Well are awaiting the outcome of suspended Dan Casey's appeal.
