Celtic vs Motherwell Prediction

Celtic's title procession is all but a foregone conclusion, with the defending champions having an almost unassailable lead at the summit.

The club's focus will turn to breaking their record points total of 106 set in 2017. The Bhoys need to win their remaining six games to break this total, and their current form suggests that could be done. Motherwell, for their part, have little left to play for, but they will aim to register a few more points on the board to stave off relegation.

Barring an unlikely upset, there should only be one winner here. We are backing the hosts to claim a comfortable win.
