The officials for Celtic’s Scottish Premiership clash against Motherwell at Fir Park on Sunday have been confirmed, with the Hoops aiming to respond after their 4-2 defeat to Aston Villa in the Champions League.
There is also speculation that the match could see the return of Jota in a Celtic shirt. The Portuguese winger, who left for Al-Ittihad, hasn’t featured for the Hoops since the 2023 Scottish Cup final, where he scored in stoppage time to seal a 3-1 victory over Inverness and complete a domestic treble.
Motherwell in Managerial Limbo
Motherwell head into the fixture without a permanent manager after Stuart Kettlewell resigned on Monday afternoon. Former Celtic Under-20s coach Stephen Frail has taken interim charge, having previously worked with the Hoops’ youth setup between 2009 and 2015.

Last Time at Fir Park
Celtic ran out 3-0 winners on their last visit to Motherwell in October, with goals from Luke McCowan, Alistair Johnston, and Adam Idah sealing the victory. That match also saw Motherwell’s Lennon Gordon sent off in stoppage time.
With both sides having plenty to play for, Sunday’s game could be a lively affair as Celtic look to maintain their momentum in the league.
