With the first league win of the season in the bag last week, Motherwell travelled to the home of the Scottish champions, Celtic. Many were intrigued to see if the Steelmen could implement their style of play against Celtic, but Jens Berthel Askou's men did just that and put in a terrific display. After going one down to a penalty, Apostolos Stamatelopoulos drew his side level with a powerful header before the half time mark. Ten years on since their last victory at Celtic Park, Stamatelopoulos put Motherwell on track to end that drought, with the Aussie netting from the spot to put Motherwell ahead. Motherwell's brave approach on the ball was commended and impressive largely during the 90 minutes, but Celtic capitalised on poor decision-making to net a leveller and give Celtic hope of turning the game around. After steadying the game and looking likely to get a point, Motherwell's hearts would be broken in stoppage time when Daizen Maeda scored to spark wild celebrations amongst the home support, a compliment in itself for the effort and performance Motherwell displayed on the day. A harsh and cruel ending wouldn't dampen the Motherwell spirits, as focus turns to the return to action following the international break against Falkirk.
