Passage through Motherwell through fire and… iron for her Celtic! Brendan Rodgers’ team came a breath away from their second “gela” in the league, with Palm to enter the match at 77′ to score at 87′the hosts to equalize in the sixth minute of stoppage time and the Riley seconds later to seal the important three-pointer (1-2).
Sixth win in seven matches for Rodgers’ side who won’t be dislodged from the top even if St Mirren get past Kilmarnock! In 4th place is Motherwell, who suffered their third defeat this year and have collected 10 points.
After a “barren” first 45 minutes, Celtic entered the second half much more aggressively and pushed for the goal, but without finding any way to break down the Motherwell defence. In the 77th minute, Rogers passed the former Aris player into the match, who ten minutes later made it 0-1 with a smart shot from the edge of the area.
The hosts equalized through Spital in the sixth minute of stoppage time and came close to a valuable draw, but in stoppage time O’Reilly, assisted by Taylor, made it 2-1 to Celtic.
