"Motherwell are rocking. Kristoffer Ajer has done a lot better going forward than he has defensively. Motherwell are not too sure how to handle direct play."
Celtic 2-0 Motherwell
Motherwell's Richard Tait receives a yellow card for a late challenge on Kieran Tierney. Well boss Stephen Robinson looks deep in thought on the touchline - mulling over how, tactically, his side can force their way back into this Scottish Cup final.

Pat Bonner

"Motherwell can't deal with the physical attributes of Dembele, and he has support from Rogic and McGregor. That time, Rogic couldn't get any pace or direction on the shot and it goes straight to Trevor Carson."
Celtic 2-0 Motherwell
Another half chance for Celtic as Tom Rogic send a shot at goal but Motherwell keeper Trevor Carson is equal to the task.
A lull in the atmosphere in the early afternoon sunshine at Hampden, with Celtic holding a two-goal cushion and Motherwell struggling to create anything of note in the final third.

"Brilliant hold-up play by Dembele, using his body, bringing players into play and laying in Ntcham. It maybe took Trevor Carson a little bit by surprise. He had a change of stride and hit that ball across the goalkeeper. It’s a lovely strike, a great, great finish.
"It's going to be difficult for Motherwell now. The spirits go down, the plan almost goes out the window."

Olivier Ntcham
Brendan Rodgers' side edge closer to a potential double treble as they double their lead against the Steelmen. Olivier Ntcham, unmarked on the edge of the box, is found by Moussa Dembele and strikes a daisy-cutter that finds the bottom corner of the net via a slight deflection.
Once again, Trevor Carson has no chance. Rod Stewart celebrates in the stand. Will Motherwell be able to overturn a two-goal deficit?

Quote MessageMotherwell are struggling in midfield, with Celtic's rotation dragging them about. It's case of staying narrow and not giving away a second goal that could cost you the cup final already this early in the game.
Celtic 1-0 Motherwell
Motherwell have been toiling to retain possession and string passes together. They're being swamped and overrun in midfield by an energised Celtic. The statistics show the defending champions have had five efforts on goal so far, while the Steelmen have yet to register a shot.

"Boyata couldn't deal with the long ball in the air - again. That's been two or three occasions Curtis Main has got the better of him."
Celtic 1-0 Motherwell
Moussa Dembele does well to outmuscle Charles Dunne before sending a pass into Tom Rogic's path... but Motherwell recover to block the Australian's effort.
From the subsequent corner, Dembele heads over. Manager Brendan Rodgers claps his encouragement from the comfort of his technical area.
Celtic are causing Motherwell problems down the left flank.

Pat Bonner

"Motherwell need to start getting their concentration. They're caught in the headlights at the moment. They've lost a goal, they can't get the ball. Players are watching the ball a little bit and that's what's catching them out. They need to switch on."
Celtic 1-0 Motherwell
Celtic, with their tails up following Callum McGregor's opener, go close to doubling their lead but Moussa Dembele sends his effort high over the bar from Kieran Tierney's cut back.

Willie Miller
Former Scotland defender on BBC Sportsound
"There's not a great deal Motherwell can do about that - it's just quality. Maybe the midfielders can be a bit more alert, but he just gets a little touch. He hardly puts any power in it - he just clips it and it flies into the top corner."

"The reaction of McGregor, he was alert and got to he ball first when it was headed out. He went through Grimshaw and Cadden. The execution was magnificent. Goalkeeper, no chance whatsoever."
Callum McGregor
What a goal. Celtic draw first blood in the Scottish Cup final with a stunning effort from Callum McGregor. Mikael Lustig's cross is partially cleared but McGregor takes a touch before sending a sumptuous drive with his right foot into the top corner - out of Trevor Carson's reach.
