Motherwell 0-3 Celtic: Hoops Dominate Fir Park to Regain Premiership Top Spot

The Hoops were determined to bounce back and regain their top spot after Aberdeen held them to a draw at Parkhead last weekend. Aberdeen's victory on Saturday evening only added to their urgency to get back to winning ways.

But it was Motherwell who threatened first with Lennon Miller hitting the woodwork twice in the opening stages before McCowan fired low into the net.

Daizen Maeda's goal was ruled out for handball with the visitors denied a penalty for Stephen O'Donnell's challenge on the winger.

Celtic looked comfortable and Alistair Johnston, captain in Callum McGregor's absence, headed in from Alex Valle's ball to double the lead.
