  1. 'We have to take the game to them' - Goodwin

    Aberdeen v Partick Thistle (19:45)

    Aberdeen manager Jim Goodwin has been talking to BBC Sportsound: "It's a different challenge to what we faced on Sunday. Hearts were very good on the day, we had to fight hard for the victory.

    "Tonight I'd imagine we'll have more possession, and we're going to have to find a way to break Partick Thistle down. That said, knowing Ian McCall and the way he sets his teams up, he won't be coming here to park the bus. They tend to have a go, because they've got nothing to lose.

    "I've been there myself where you are the underdog. There's no level of expectation, there's no pressure. They have got some very good experienced players, boys who have played in the Premiership before. They certainly wont be overawed by the occasion.

    "We've given them the utmost respect. They're flying high in the Championship, scoring plenty of goals. We know the dangers they possess, but us being the home team, we have to come flying out of the traps and take the game to them."

    GOAL Motherwell 0-3 Celtic

    Reo Hatate

    Sweet footwork from Reo Hatate and Celtic are out of sight.

    Liel Abada drills a cross in from the right and Hatate shows good strength to gather it in the six yard box and in the blink of an eye he rolls the ball away from Liam Kelly with his studs and pokes it home with the other foot.

    Celtic goal.

  3. 'Great finish'

    Motherwell 0-2 Celtic

    Liam Kelly makes a couple of good saves but it's a great finish from Liel Abada, taking it first time. It's a difficult spell for Motherwell - what do they do now?

  4. goal

    GOAL Motherwell 0-2 Celtic

    Liel Abada

    Celtic keep knocking on the door and eventually get the breakthrough for goal number two.

    Liel Abada has a low shot pushed away by Liam Kelly and the Motherwell keeper then has to fend off efforts from Aaron Mooy and Josip Juranovic before the ball loops up for Abada to crash in an impressive side-foot volley.

    Celtic goal.

  5. Motherwell 0-1 Celtic

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    I wonder about Haksabanovic on the left. The manager wants him to stay wide and he's confined to that position. Paul McGinn knows exactly where he is every time and he closes him down, so he's been less effective.

  6. Motherwell 0-1 Celtic

    Kyogo meets a raking pass from Reo Hatate to have a lash from near the penalty spot but the Celtic striker can't wrap his foot around the first-time shot.

  7. Motherwell 0-1 Celtic

    The home side are not hanging about as Matt Penney drives in an angled shot that is pushed behind by the fingertips of Benjamin Siegrist.

  8. KICK-OFF

    Motherwell 0-1 Celtic

    And we're up and running at Fir Park again...

  9. Seven changes for Rangers

    Rangers v Dundee (20:15)

    Only four remain from the starting eleven that won 2-1 against Motherwell on Sunday, with seven fresh faces tasked with getting Rangers to Hampden.

    Jon McLaughlin is back in goals, with James Sands and Ridvan Yilmaz coming into defence. Steven Davis is named in midfield, with a new attacking trio of Scott Wright, Fashion Sakala and Alfredo Morelos. Kemar Roofe is also named on the bench, and could make his first Rangers appearance of the season.

    Gary Bowyer makes three changes to the Dundee side that beat fellow title chasers Ayr United 2-1 at the weekend.

    Zak Rudden and Cillian Sheridan drop out - both were replaced at half-time on Saturday - alongside Paul McMullan. On loan Wimbledon striker Zach Robinson comes in, with Dundee youngsters Lyall Cameron and Josh Mulligan also named in the starting eleven.

  12. Dowds & Tiffoney start for Thistle

    Aberdeen v Partick Thistle (19:45)

    Ian McCall tweaks the side that defeated Hamilton Accies 2-1 at the weekend to put them top of the Championship pile.

    Brian Graham opened the scoring, but the veteran forward drops to the bench alongside crafty winger, Aidan Fitzpatrick.

    Anton Dowds comes in to lead the line with Scott Tiffoney, who scored the winner against Accies, the other switch.

  15. HALF-TIME Motherwell 0-1 Celtic

    Celtic finally have the lead, thanks to Liel Abada's goal just before the break.

    Before that, Kyogo Furuhashi could have had a hat-trick on his own for Celtic. The Japanese striker has hit the bar, put a gilt-edged chance wide, and was denied from close range by goalkeeper Liam Kelly.

    Motherwell have posed a threat too, with Stuart McKinstry missing a massive chance from about 10 yards out. The home side have it all to do now, though.

  16. 'Perfect timing from Taylor'

    Motherwell 0-1 Celtic

    Pat Bonner

    Brilliant play by Greg Taylor on this left hand side, playing a give-and-go that got him into a great position. Abada, quick and sharp. Really good goal from Celtic's perspective. Right before half-time is so critical.

    Greg Taylor plays a smart one-two with Sead Haksabanovic in a busy penalty area then, as goalkeeper Liam Kelly advances, squares for Liel Abada to fire home.

    Celtic goal.

  18. 'Motherwell take the game in stages'

    Motherwell 0-0 Celtic

    David Clarkson
    Former Motherwell forward on BBC Sportsound

    Celtic have had a good few chances but not capitalised. Motherwell have worked hard to close down areas. If they can hang on until half-time they can regroup and take the game in stages.

  19. Motherwell 0-0 Celtic

    Sondre Johansen is back on and seems to be moving freely as he ushers a run from Reo Hatate out of harm's way.

  20. Motherwell 0-0 Celtic

    Motherwell are temporarily down to 10 men as Sondre Johansen limps off for some treatment after a good blocking tackle.

    Corner to Celtic, but the home side clear without any fuss.
