    That's a smart move from Stephen Robinson - just get him down the tunnel as well and get him in the changing rooms. You know the after effects of this game, I'm sure there's going to be words from the Celtic players towards him

    Should Motherwell have let Celtic score? Within the sportsmanship of the game surely they have to let them score

    They certainly have lost their composure, Kristoffer Ajer needs to calm down - it's silly. He's had a couple of hacks there, had one just before that and got away with it, clearly Kevin Clancy had to stop that one and book him

    It's not good for the game, this will be the headline tomorrow, and it takes away from a decent game we've had here. I think young James Scott will regret that one

    Real inexperience there from James Scott, he ran through and it's an excellent finish from Gboly Ariyibi, but as you can hear from the crowd they're not too happy here, and I think they've got a point

    GOAL Celtic 2-1 Motherwellpublished at 51 mins

    Gboly Ariyibi

    Motherwell get the ball in the net but it's controversial. Celtic thought Motherwell were giving possession back to them from a throw-in following Ryan Christie's injury but James Scott raced away with the ball on the right to fire in a shot that Scott Bain saved only for Gboyl Ariyibi to sidefoot in the rebound.

    When your wide players are almost pinned back 30 yards from your own goal and you want them in the opposition half, it’s very difficult. I can’t see a way back for Motherwell unless they get a very early goal in the second half – Celtic are in control

    Ewan Henderson has been very impressive, looked very composed. He picked up some really good pockets, he's taken some really good touches. It was a wonderful ball in from him for the second goal
