Celtic travel to Fir Park on Saturday afternoon to take on a Motherwell side who have impressed in recent times. The Steelmen lost away from home in the league for the first time in nine months on Saturday, and they will provide a stern test for the Hoops.

Off the back of a well-earned 3-0 victory over Livingston at the Tony Macaroni Arena last weekend, the treble-winning champions are keen to make it four league wins in a row.

Here is everything you need to know ahead of the match.

Where And When 

Celtic play Motherwell this Saturday the 30th of September at 12.30 pm at Fir Park.

Who Is In Charge?

Willie Collum will referee this match. His assistants will be Graeme Stewart and Chris Rae, meanwhile, Duncan Williams is the fourth official. On VAR are Grant Irvine and David Roome.

TV And Stream

Unfortunately for supporters of both teams, this Saturday’s match is not able to be watched on any television channel. Inside the UK and Ireland, the only way it can be viewed is via a pay-per-view stream from Motherwell.

This costs £15, and if fans want to watch it legally, they will have to dig into their own pockets and spend their hard-earned money on top of Sky and TNT subscriptions. Outside of the UK and Ireland, as ever, the game will be on Celtic TV.

Injury News And Availability 

Brendan Rodgers confirmed on Thursday that centre-back Nat Phillips will be available for this one. Since his move to Glasgow, the Englishman has played just 45 minutes so he will be eager to get some valuable game time here.

Other than that, no other players are due to return, and it should be noted Joe Hart is suspended. Scott Bain or Benjamin Siegrist will start between the sticks because of this.

From Lanarkshire, Brendan Rodgers will want his side to take home all three points and keep the momentum going in the league. The focus can then shift to Lazio, for what is set to be a colossal Champions League tie next Wednesday night.
