Celtic Bhoy Stephen Welsh sends ‘Have That’ message to Rangers | OneFootball

Stephen Welsh made his feelings clear on social media after scoring a dramatic late leveller for Motherwell against the latest Ibrox club on Wednesday night…

The Celtic loanee struck in the 89th minute at Fir Park to secure a 1-1 draw for the hosts. Danny Rohl’s side had taken an early lead through Nico Raskin after just six minutes, and Motherwell’s task became tougher when Lucas Fadinger was dismissed with 12 minutes remaining following a VAR review for his tackle on Mikey Moore.

Despite being down to ten men, Motherwell found a way back, with Welsh firing home in the closing stages to rescue a point – a result that also has implications in the title race for his parent club.

Posting a photo of his celebration on Instagram, the defender accompanied it with the caption: “Have that.”

He later uploaded a series of photos capturing his late equaliser at Fir Park, adding the caption: “Never give up. Thanks for your support…”

Celtic goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo was quick to react in the comments section, posting a response: “What a man”

Welsh rejoined Motherwell on loan on transfer deadline day, just weeks after being brought back to Celtic in January to bolster Martin O’Neill’s defensive options.

Having caught the eye during his earlier spell at Fir Park under Jens Berthel Askou, the defender was subsequently allowed to see out the remainder of the campaign with Motherwell.

Speaking last week on his return to North Lanarkshire, Welsh said: “It’s not been an ideal situation, but I’m so pleased there’s been a resolution.”

“I just want to play football, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time here for the first half of the season. The staff, the players and the fans are all so aligned, and as a player, it’s the perfect environment to play your football in.”

“I’ll need to work to get myself back into the team now. The boys have done unbelievably well since I’ve been gone, which has been great. I’m buzzing to get back here, and I can’t wait to pick up where I left off.”

While theRangers were dropping two points at Fir Park – thanks to Stephen Welsh – the Motherwell goalscorer earned an honourable mention in Sandman’s Definitive Ratings after Celtic’s 2-1 win over Livingston at Celtic Park on the same evening.
