Video: Enjoyable Unique Angle after Celtic stroll it at Motherwell | OneFootball

Yesterday was a job well done by Celtic. A game we would have most likely dropped points in last year. Brendan’s side is well and truly taking shape…

Yesterday could have been a tricky fixture, but  after an uncomfortable first 10 minutes in the end we strolled to victory as we returned to the top of the Scottish Premiership. Our two nearest rivals meet on Wednesday night at Pittodrie so points will be dropped by one or both. Celtic need to take care of our own business at Celtic Park against Dundee in our second of three games in six days.

If we were suffering from any sort of fatigue after our European excursions, then it didn’t show at Fir Park as we were in total control of the game, apart from maybe a shaky first 10 minutes, but after taking the lead through a well taken Luke McCowan strike we didn’t look in any danger of losing the match.

Celtic a stronger and efficient unit this season

Motherwell didn’t look particularly threatening, and when skipper for the day Alistair Johnston headed in the second, the three points were safe and secure. Adam Idah further increased our lead with three minutes to go, and gave the game a scoreline our dominance deserved.

This result further illustrates how far we’ve come under Brendan Rodgers since his appointment second time around last year. We could have possibly dropped points in similar circumstances this time last year, but we’re a much more stronger and efficient unit this season.

The players have certainly bought into the managers philosophy, and it bodes well for the future.

Even the match officials could do nothing to derail Celtic as they contrived to deny Celtic a stonewall penalty. What is the actual point of VAR if it is operated in that manner?  Hopefully Brendan Rodgers is on the phone to Willie Collum this morning.

If Kris Boyd can call Willie Collum, so can Brendan

If Kris Boyd can call the Head of Referees then surely the Celtic manager is entitled to an explanation as to why Celtic were not awarded a penalty when Daizen Maeda was pushed from behind.
