Motherwell (Home)
- Celtic FC are 2nd in the Premiership 2025-2026 standings with 35 points after 17 games, Motherwell are 3rd with 30 points after 18.
- Motherwell are unbeaten in their last 5, winning 2 and drawing 3 of their last 5.
- They have a strong home record in the 2025-2026 campaign, winning 5, drawing 3 and losing just 1 of their 9 matches at Fir Park, conceding just 0.56 goals per game at home.
Celtic FC (Away)
- The Hoops have begun to implement a structured back three, systematic pressing traps and a more organised interchange between the wing-backs in their build-up play since Nancy took the reins in December.
- This identity shift has yet to yield the kind of dominance that Celtic FC are used to, but they have lost 4 of their last 5 league games, so they look to be heading in the right direction.
- Celtic FC have lost back-to-back away games.
Head-to-Head
They haven’t beaten Celtic FC in their last 3 meetings at Fir Park though, so there is a psychological barrier to cross.

- Kieran Tierney - 2 of last 6
Betting Insights
- Celtic FC are rightful favourites for this game at 1.75, but it’s hard to ignore the 4.46 price on Motherwell, especially considering the fact that they have gone unbeaten in their last 3 home games, winning 2 and drawing 1.
- Celtic FC, meanwhile, have won 4, drawn 1 and lost 3 of their 8 away games in the 2025/2026 season, so they have been vulnerable on the road.
- Motherwell are on a 5-game unbeaten run, winning 2 and drawing 3, including a 3-0 win at home to Livingston.
- Celtic FC are a better team on paper and should have greater all-around depth, but Nancy’s men need to prove their dominance and Motherwell are in good form, so the 3.7 on the draw seems a decent value pick for this one.
- Given the teams’ recent scoring trends, there is value in the BTTS market at 1.73.
