Late Idah Double Saves Celtic Blushes Against Motherwell

Celtic faced a tough battle against Motherwell in Lanarkshire, with the champions looking to close the gap at the top while the Steelmen aimed to keep their top six hopes alive.

The pressure was on after Rangers‘ emphatic win over Hearts, but Celtic showed they could handle it with a hard-fought victory away to Motherwell.

The first half saw Motherwell take the lead with a stunning goal from Blair Spittal, leaving Celtic one goal down at the break.

Celtic needed to make a change, and the introduction of Adam Idah at halftime turned the game around for the visitors.

The big Irish striker made an immediate impact, scoring a crucial header to draw Celtic level shortly after the restart.

While Motherwell’s Lennon Miller came close to restoring their lead, Joe Hart‘s heroics in goal kept Celtic in the game.

Daizen Maeda missed a golden opportunity to put Celtic ahead, but it was Idah who came to the rescue with a smart finish in stoppage time to make it 2-1.

Luis Palma sealed the victory with a tap-in, making the final scoreline look more comfortable for Celtic than the tense 90 minutes they endured.
