2015 was the last time Motherwell had tasted victory over Scottish Premiership champions Celtic. When the Celts visited Fir Park in the final outing of 2025, the Steelmen would have to be firing on all cylinders if they were to end that wait.  In the end, Motherwell dominated proceedings with a performance consisting of total control. Ibrahim Said headed Motherwell infront inside 15 minutes, and from there, the hosts didn't look back. With Celtic simply unable to find any control in the match, Elliot Watt converted a second on the hour mark as his side closed in on a famous victory. Celtic never recovered, and Jens Berthel Askou's side cruised to victory, ending 2025 in style.

The manager gives his thoughts on his sides fine 2-0 win over Celtic at Fir Park.

Going to Ibrox this time around felt a little different for the Steelmen. There was expectation in the air that Motherwell could go to Govan and control proceedings.  Chances arrived early, with Lukas Fadinger and Elijah Just unable to convert. From there, Rangers began to grow into the game with goalkeeper Calum Ward doing everything he could to protect his consecutive clean sheet record. With both sides rueing missed opportunities, and both goalkeepers alert between the posts, the deadlock would not be broken until the second half. A tap in for Thelo Aasgaard gave Rangers the lead as Motherwell chased for the leveller. In a basketball game that was going from side to side, the game neared its conclusion but not before a massive penalty claim for Motherwell was waved away before the full time whistle.

Paul McGinn says despite the strong run of form, the league remains tight as ever and just a couple of poor results could change the outlook on the team.  McGinn is looking for a more clinical edge within the squad, and also discusses how the manager communicates so effectively with the team.

Jens Berthel Askou says there were lots of positives to take from Saturday's defeat, and believes his side are coming up against a Celtic side that are growing in confidence.  Askou is asked about the controversial penalty claim his side had at Ibrox, and also speaks about Regan Charles-Cook.

The manager gives his views after Motherwell suffered just their third league defeat of the season.
