Predicted XI: Celtic v Motherwell (A)

Ahead of Celtic’s league clash with Motherwell, we at Read Celtic will role-play (not that kind) and predict the starting XI.

We will be playing the role of Brendan Rodgers and choosing the starting XI, as well as how the team are expected to line-up on the pitch.

It also includes a bit of insight into what we expect from each player, and what they can do to make the difference.

Rodgers’ side are still unbeaten in domestic football this season, and secured their 100th major honour on Sunday with a 3-0 win over Aberdeen in the League Cup final.

Motherwell were beaten 3-0 at the weekend by Hearts and are currently in sixth place in the league table.

The Hoops have put seven goals without reply past Mark McGhee’s side, and will be full of confidence ahead of the 12:15pm kick-off.

To understand our prediction you also need to see the latest team news ahead of the game. Here’s our predicted team in a 4-2-3-1 formation for Saturday’s game.
