Celtic’s preparations for their upcoming matches are in full swing, with officials now confirmed for their Scottish Premiership clash against Motherwell on Sunday. David Dickinson will referee the game at Fir Park, assisted by Jonathan Bell and Steven Traynor, while Alan Muir will manage VAR duties alongside Gary Hilland. Celtic, looking to bounce back after a 2-2 draw at home to Aberdeen, will aim to maintain their six-point lead over Rangers at the top of the table.
The draw against Aberdeen saw Celtic twice take the lead through Kyogo Furuhashi and Reo Hatate, only for Ester Sokler and Graeme Shinnie to equalize for the Dons. Now, Brendan Rodgers’ side faces a crucial stretch, with a Champions League trip to Bergamo to face Atalanta just before the Motherwell fixture. After a heavy 7-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund, Celtic will be keen to show resilience on the European stage.
Balancing their ambitions in Europe with the demands of the domestic league will be a challenge for Rodgers and his squad. A positive result in Bergamo would boost morale, but ensuring freshness and focus for Sunday’s match at Fir Park is equally vital. Motherwell will provide a tough test, and Celtic will need a strong performance to keep their momentum in the title race.
