    Another well-worked goal. It's simple for Luis Palma.

    He couldn't have missed that one.

    Luis Palma

    Another Celtic goal from a substitute and it's a sub that sets it up as well.

    Yang Hyun-jun is in space on the right and his low ball across is knocked home on the left by Luis Palma.

    No doubt about the result now, the victory is Celtic's.

    Motherwell 1-2 Celtic

    Stephen Craigan
    Former Motherwell captain on BBC Sportsound

    If you don't engage with players, you're going to give away opportunities.

    Adam Idah has been the difference in the second half. He's their matchwinner.

    Adam Idah

    Surely the winner for Celtic.

    Adam Idah is in the right place at the right time again as he converts Alistair Johnston's low cross.

    Heartbreak, late heartbreak for Motherwell against Celtic, once again.

    Motherwell 1-1 Celtic

    Celtic have continued to dominate possession and win corners over the past few minutes but have been unable to find the telling pass or cross. Motherwell are camped in and are really just hanging on.

    Celtic are applying the pressure now as they look to try and win this one. You sense Motherwell might have it all to do in the last few minutes.

    Although in saying that Motherwell have made changes and Stuart Kettlewell has sent on a couple of attack minded players.

  11. CLOSE!published at 13:45 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February

    Motherwell 1-1 Celtic

    Adam Idah thought he had got his second goal there. The striker got a glancing header in and it just crept wide of Liam Kelly's goal. Almost a double for the Celtic substitute.

    Matt O'Riley's free-kick is blocked by the Motherwell wall. Celtic recycle, and again.

    Motherwell are standing firm but the ball keeps coming back at them.

    Original decision stands. Yellow card for Calum Butcher.

    Motherwell 1-1 Celtic

    Calum Butcher's game may be over. His foul on Adam Idah is being looked at on the monitor by referee Willie Collum.

    The question will be whether he denied a clear goalscoring opportunity.

  19. YELLOW CARDpublished at 13:38 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February

    Motherwell 1-1 Celtic

    Motherwell's Calum Butcher is booked for pulling back Adam Idah and Celtic have free-kick in a really promising position just outside the box.
