Celtic head to Fir Park this afternoon with the chance to tighten their grip on the Premiership title race.
Brendan Rodgers’ men are already ten points clear of Rangers and, with a game in hand, could soon push the advantage to thirteen.
The spotlight falls on Jota, named among the substitutes as he edges toward his third debut in green and white after returning from Rennes.
Adam Idah is trusted to spearhead the attack, with Nicolas Kühn and Daizen Maeda providing width and pace on either side.
In midfield, it’s a landmark day for Callum McGregor. The captain brings up his 500th Celtic appearance, placing him in the company of true club greats.
He lines up with Luke McCowan, who continues to settle into life in Glasgow, and Reo Hatate, whose creativity remains vital.
Defensively, Rodgers has made changes. Anthony Ralston is handed a rare start at right-back, while Cameron Carter-Vickers returns from injury to marshal the back line.
Auston Trusty joins him in central defence, with Greg Taylor keeping his place on the left.
The backdrop adds its own drama. Motherwell are reeling after manager Stuart Kettlewell resigned earlier this week, citing personal abuse aimed at him and his family.
The club remains in disarray, making this an opportunity Celtic cannot afford to waste.
Kick-off comes at 3pm, with the Hoops looking to reinforce momentum, deepen the gap at the summit, and move one stride closer to sealing another league crown.
