Celtic's chances of retaining the Scottish Premiership crown remain firmly in their hands heading into the closing stages of the season. The defending champions are set to travel to Fir Park to lock horns with Motherwell on matchday 37 of the Championship Group. Celtic are the in-form team in this match, making an away win our preferred prediction.
Motherwell are not in contention for the league title, having accumulated 58 points, leaving them in fourth and 19 points behind the top spot in the Championship Group standings.
However, that doesn't mean they have nothing to play for as they still need to protect their European spot from fifth-placed Hibernian.
The Steelmen enter this clash in poor form, with just one win from their last eight league games. In their recent match, they held Hearts to a 1-1 home draw. That outcome extended their winless run to two games.
Celtic are in second place in the standings with 76 points. Just one point separates them from first-placed Hearts.
The Hoops come into this match brimming with confidence, having won five straight games. Their convincing 3-1 home derby win over Rangers FC was a confidence booster.
Martin O'Neill's charges will want to build on their impressive run to make it six league wins in a row. Navigating unfamiliar territory shouldn't faze Celtic, who have lost just one of their last eight away league games (W5, D2).

Our Motherwell vs Celtic Prediction
Suprisingly, bookmakers are expecting Motherwell to make life difficult for Celtic in this clash. The reason behind that could be the home team's 2-0 win at Fir Park in December 2025. However, comparing that to recent performances from both sides tells a different story.
Motherwell have won just one of their last eight matches, while Celtic are riding a five-match winning streak. Put that aside, and the visitors have dominated this opponent on the road with ten wins in 11 away league games. They are in better shape and should secure an important win. Our Motherwell vs Celtic prediction: Celtic wins.
