Celtic dropped four and “lost” at the top of the Scottish Premier. The “Catholics” swept 4-0 in Glasgow Motherwell for the 19th matchday of the championship and escaped with +12 in the first place, taking another important step towards winning the first place in the regular season, having two matches less and leaving the guests simply in the privileged five.
Engels at 45’+1′ made it 1-0 and in the second half Maeda at 57′, Kuen at 74′ and Hatate at 81′ formed the final result.
In all of the above, Rangers also helped, who lost 1-2 in 90’+3′ at the home of St. Mirren and with -12, even with two matches less, difficult to be in first place before the playoffs oh, “killing” himself again when he could be staying in the “bay” and showing more interest in the direct qualification to the “16” of the Europa League Phase League.
Smith’s penalties made it 1-0 at 30′, Danilo equalized at 1-1 at 61′ and finally at 90’+3′, Boyd shocked the “protesters”.
The defeat of the “Protestants” was not taken advantage of by Abedin, who crashed 0-4 at the home of Kilmarnock and remained at -1 from Rangers, while instead they could be at +2, giving the winners the opportunity to reduce to -5 from sixth place.
Hibernian was also there, who won 2-1 at the home of Hearts in the classic Edinburgh derby and left “Hearts” firmly in the penultimate place.
