Neil Lennon will want his team to head into the latest international break with his team keeping top spot in the league table. After a fantasy finish in Rome on Thursday under the European spotlights, it was back to domestic business today against Motherwell.
Celtic have had all the possession and chances so far at Paradise but had failed to convert any chances until Edouard stepped forward with this slick finish.
1-0!!!?

Not for the first time, it was some clever wing play by Elyounuassi that unlocked a chance for Celtic that the French man gladly slotted away. This will give Celtic a cushion with less than twenty minutes gone.
It might also force Motherwell out of their defensive shell and give the Bhoys some more room for some more attacks.
Young Frimpong who was absent Thursday night as he was not included in the initial European squad has looked lively in both attack and defence.
