Motherwell defeated Rangers this afternoon, giving Celtic a great motivation to win tomorrow afternoon. After just a few weeks, the Scottish Champions know that three points will allow them to reclaim the top spot in the Cinch Premiership when they take on Hearts at Tynecastle.
The Steelmen won three points thanks to goals from Theo Bair and Dan Casey, which came after a dubious James Tavernier penalty. Celtic now has a chance to take the lead if they defeat Hearts, who are now in third position.

Brendan Rodgers will be aware that his players will have a difficult task ahead of them tomorrow, but the extra motivation to win will thrill the Irishman despite the media’s hyperbole on the Ibrox side. Celtic need to write their own story, as Rodgers said and getting all three points tomorrow is vital.
With the exceptional display on Wednesday against Dundee while Rangers scraped by Killie, will we see a change in the media rhetoric about the title race? For Celtic, winning is all that matters.
