Celtic secured a thrilling 2-1 victory over Motherwell in a Scottish Premiership clash. Despite a goalless stretch until 87 minutes, the drama unfolded when Celtic’s Luis Palma scored believing he had won the game for the hoops.
Motherwell’s Blair Spittal spectacularly hit back on 95 minutes. However, it was Matt O’Riley who stole the show with a 97th-minute winner, catalysing euphoria among the Celtic ranks.
This win further cements Celtic’s robust standing at the top of the league, showcasing their resilience and last-minute gusto that has characterized so many Celtic teams over the years. The Motherwell side, although valiant, had to concede to the relentless pressure and last-minute magic orchestrated by Celtic.

The Steelmen’s social media team put out an extended and well-put-together video of the action unfolding on Saturday. The agony and for them, the ecstasy.
The highs and lows of football can come at you fast.
