Motherwell FC host Celtic FC at Fir Park on Wednesday night as the Scottish Premiership enters its decisive final week.

The visitors must avoid defeat to ensure the title race goes down to the final day of the campaign.

Motherwell struggling at the worst possible moment

Motherwell FC have managed just one victory in their last eight matches across all competitions.

European ambitions fading away

The Steelmen’s poor form has effectively ended their hopes of Champions League qualification.

However, they are still battling to secure fourth place and qualification for the UEFA Conference League.

Minimal injury concerns for the hosts

Zach Robinson remains sidelined through injury.

Manager Jens Berthel Askou could keep the same starting lineup that performed well against Hearts.

Celtic peaking at the perfect time

Celtic FC have won six consecutive matches in all competitions.

The title remains within reach

Victory here would leave Celtic in a strong position ahead of the decisive clash against Heart of Midlothian FC later this week.

The visitors are also chasing a domestic double.

Martin O’Neill’s side full of confidence

Martin O'Neill has guided Celtic into top form during the most important stage of the season.

Defensive absences remain

Kasper Schmeichel, Cameron Carter-Vickers and several others remain unavailable through injury.
