Celtic are back in Scottish Premiership action once again this weekend as they travel away from Glasgow to take on Motherwell at Fir Park on Sunday.
The Hoops are now in a title race with their closest rivals and every match is vital at the moment, as they are currently two points off the top of the table, including this clash.
Brendan Rodgers will surely be looking for a reaction from his players after they dropped two points against Kilmarnock at Parkhead last time out in the top-flight.
A stoppage time equaliser from David Watson secured a point for the away side, after Kyogo Furuhashi had opened the scoring in the first half, and that provided Rangers with a chance to leapfrog them in the table.
Rodgers could now look to make some alterations to the starting XI that lined up against Kilmarnock last weekend. With this in mind, here is our predicted Celtic line-up to take to Fir Park on Sunday…
1 Joe Hart
Celtic goalkeeper Joe Hart.
Starting off between the sticks, Joe Hart could keep his place between the sticks once again as he bids to end his playing career with another trophy.
The former England international officially announced on Thursday that he will be retiring at the end of the 2023/24 campaign, upon the expiry of his current contract with the club.
2 Anthony Ralston
Celtic defender Anthony Ralston.
At right-back, Anthony Ralston could start after an impressive display down the flank against Kilmarnock, in spite of the poor result, last weekend.
The Scottish full-back provided the assist for Kyogo's opening goal and showcased his defensive prowess by winning nine of his 14 duels on the ground and in the air.
3 Maik Nawrocki
Former Legia Warsaw defender Maik Nawrocki.
The first change to the starting XI could come at the heart of the defence. Summer signing Maik Nawrocki could slot in on the right side of the centre-back pairing to replace Stephen Welsh.
Celtic's Polish colossus has only played seven matches in the Premiership this season but has caught the eye with his physicality in duels on the ground – winning 65% of his contests.
Welsh, on the other hand, has lost a staggering 80% of his ground duels in the top-flight this term, including 100% (1/1) against Kilmarnock, which suggests that opposition attackers have found it too easy to get the better of him on the deck.
Nawrocki could, therefore, come in to start against Motherwell to provide a solid presence at the back to protect Hart's clean sheet on Sunday.
4 Liam Scales
Liam Scales in action for Celtic.
Alongside the former Legia Warsaw star, the Hoops could stick with Ireland international Liam Scales on the left side of the centre-back partnership.
The 25-year-old enforcer has won 65% of his duels and completed 88% of his attempted passes across 24 Premiership appearances this season.
5 Greg Taylor
Celtic defender Greg Taylor.
Greg Taylor started the 1-1 draw with Kilmarnock last weekend and the Scotland international should keep his place at left-back ahead of Alexandro Bernabei.
The 26-year-old dynamo has provided a big creative threat down the flank for the Scottish giants so far this season, with seven 'big chances' created in the Premiership – only Luis Palma (12) has created more within the Hoops squad.
6 Callum McGregor
Celtic midfielder Callum McGregor.
At the base of the midfield, Callum McGregor should start once again as he has been an ever-present for the Bhoys in the Premiership this term.
The Celtic captain has been a reliable presence in possession for his side with a pass success rate of 92% and 1.6 key passes per game for his teammates.
7 Matt O'Riley
Celtic midfielder Matt O'Riley.
Alongside the Scotland international, Danish maestro Matt O'Riley could start and look to add to his impressive tally of goals and assists this season.
The former Fulham prospect has already racked up ten goals and seven assists in 25 Premiership appearances for the Hoops so far this term.
8 Paulo Bernardo
Celtic midfielder Paulo Bernardo.
The second change to the XI could with Paulo Bernardo being brought back in to start, which would see Irish striker Adam Idah dropped to the bench.
Celtic's deadline day loan signing from Norwich City was starved of service – registering zero shot attempts against Kilmarnock – last time out and Rodgers could bring in Bernardo to add more creativity to the midfield, instead of packing the team with two strikers.
The Portuguese midfielder, who was once described as "press-resistant" by U23 scout Antonio Mango, has created three 'big chances' in nine league starts for his team this season.
9 Nicolas Kuhn
Celtic winger Nicolas Kuhn.
The third and final change that could be made to the starting XI could come on the right side of the attacking front three as Nicolas Kuhn could come in for Daizen Maeda.

As you can see in the table above, the Japan international has been far from consistent in the final third as he has failed to provide goals or assists on a regular basis.
Whereas, Kuhn created 11 'big chances' and registered five assists in 16 Bundesliga appearances for Rapid Wien before Celtic swooped to sign him during the January transfer window.
The German winger could, therefore, provide a greater creative presence on the right flank to split open the opposition's defence and avoid a repeat of the lack of quality service for the front players last weekend.
10 Kyogo Furuhashi
Kyogo Furuhashi
Bernardo coming in for Idah would allow Japan international Kyogo Furuhashi to move up into the lone striker position after his goal against Kilmarnock.
The 29-year-old marksman has scored two goals in his last two games and is currently on nine Premiership goals for the season, and could move into double figures with a strike against Motherwell on Sunday.
On their arrival in India, new team director Enoch Nkwe said they have ‘to start building for the future’
ESPNcricinfo staff10-Sep-20191:53
‘We strongly believe in Quinton’ – Enoch Nkwe
South Africa have hinted at the possibility of Quinton de Kock being a captaincy candidate keeping in mind next year’s T20 World Cup in Australia. De Kock will lead a fairly young side in the three T20Is against India in regular captain Faf du Plessis’ absence, as their new team director Enoch Nkwe wants to “start building for the future”.”I strongly believe that we have a good enough squad. We have a good leader here,” Nkwe said at South Africa’s arrival press conference in Dharamsala, ahead of the series opener on Sunday. “It’s also an opportunity to start building for the future. We know where Faf stands, as a captain and as a player. He’s done great things for South African cricket. We also need to look at what the future looks like. We believe in Quinton, who’s going to be leading the team in this series.”South Africa’s post World Cup shake-up and du Plessis’ age (35) could be among the reasons for them looking at new candidates. De Kock is just 26 and has featured in 191 internationals across formats since his debut in 2012. In India, he will lead a squad of 14 that features several newcomers. Nkwe, however, believes the players have got “good enough experience”.”If you look at the group of guys, we’ve got good enough experience,” Nkwe said. “The captain himself has played a lot of cricket here in India. We’ve got fresh blood that is coming into the squad and that’s very exciting. We’ll be competitive. We want to walk away with a series win. The entire squad is very determined. We’re here to win. We understand that the opposition is strong in their backyard, but that’s something we’re going to leave on the park. We’re going to give 100%.”At the end of the day, as a professional team, we’re entertainers. We hope that the kind of cricket we’ll be playing out there, people will be able to read and understand the brand of cricket we want to play. It’s a new chapter, and there are some new characters in the group. We’re still in the process of defining ourselves, but I know for sure that the guys want to get out there and play some exciting cricket.”De Kock said he was “looking forward” to the young team competing and fighting under him. “Coming into this series, we’ve got a lot of new players. Win or lose, I just want the guys to keep competing, keep fighting. As long as they keep doing that, I’m sure we’ll be in good hands. We’ve got quite a young team, so there will be a lot of energy. Looking forward to that.”The tour of India will be South Africa’s first assignment since their disastrous World Cup campaign but they are now looking ahead to the next global event as they have close to 20 games in hand before the T20 World Cup in October next year.”The focus for now is this coming series against India,” Nkwe said. “We’re looking to invest in a good foundation going into the T20 World Cup next year in Australia. But we still have a lot of games. We have about 20 games. So we’ll reassess the situation after these three games against India and see where we’re at, and how we build into the England series and so on. But for now the focus is the Indian series.”South African can draw inspiration from their T20I (2-0) and ODI (3-2) series wins when they last toured India, in 2015. De Kock had not featured in the T20 series then but he troubled the hosts in the ODIs, finishing as the third-highest scorer, behind team-mates du Plessis and AB de Villiers, with a tally of 318 runs and an impressive average of 63.60, with two centuries.”I haven’t played here (Dharamsala) myself, I’ve been here before but I haven’t played here,” de Kock recalled the opening T20 of the 2015 series in which South Africa had chased down 200 with seven wickets in hand. “The last time we were here, the wicket did play very well. I think Rohit [Sharma] got a hundred here, but we ended up chasing it down. So in the one game I’ve experienced here, it could be a good wicket. But we’re coming into the unknown, so we’ll have to assess quickly, and then just adapt.”
Leeds United look set to lose a player who Daniel Farke has hailed for free this summer, with one club already planning their move.
Leeds transfer rumours
The Whites have been in blistering form in the Championship in 2024, winning nine straight second-tier games to put them in the second automatic promotion place.
Leeds battling Crystal Palace and Newcastle for out-of-contract striker
Leeds are interested in two players in the same position at the same club.
ByDavid Comerford Feb 28, 2024
An immediate return to the Premier League could be on the cards at Elland Road, which, as a result, is already resulting in some transfer rumours. The 49ers Enterprises could give Farke up to £100m in the summer window, should Leeds earn promotion, with former midfielder Kalvin Phillips already being linked with a return to Yorkshire.
Leeds may also have a number of loanees returning to the club, although Luis Sinisterra has now signed permanently for AFC Bournemouth and Robin Koch has penned terms with Eintracht Frankfurt. A number of Whites players are also out of contract in the summer.

It could be a busy few months on and off the pitch for Leeds, and it looks as if one loanee, also out of contract in the summer, could depart for free.
Ian Poveda transfer update
According to Sheffield Star reporter Alex Miller, Sheffield Wednesday are planning to sign Ian Poveda on a free transfer over the coming months.
The winger is currently on loan at Hillsborough and has featured regularly under Danny Rohl, but a permanent deal could depend on the Owls’ divisional status with relegation back to League One a real possibility.
It does seem as if Poveda’s days on the books at Leeds are numbered, and in fact, his January move was originally meant to be a permanent one before it turned into a loan on deadline day. He's already caught the eye at Hillsborough, with Troy Deeney hailing Poveda after his Sheffield Wednesday debut:
"He's bought into it all. We speak about the good things on the ball, he does the work off the ball as well, he won duels in the game and he's getting after it.
"He's not giving up and he's really embodied what Sheffield Wednesday need. He's got that x-factor, that little bit of extra quality that will change their fortunes not just now but moving forward."
The 24-year-old had been used on six occasions by Farke in the Championship this season, and the German praised the wide-man after he returned from international duty with Colombia last season.
“Ian came back with a smile on his face, lots of confidence because he had good performances on this level. He was also quite impressive during this training week. I like what he’s showing so far.”
Leeds currently have a number of wide options, including Crysencio Summerville, Wilfried Gnonto, Dan James and loanee Jaidon Anthony, and if they earn promotion to the Premier League, further additions could be made. Therefore, allowing Poveda to leave for nothing could make sense for all parties, even if it means the 49ers receiving nothing.

England’s debutant shook up Lord’s and knocked the previously serene Steven Smith off his stride
Andrew Miller at Lord's17-Aug-2019So, Justin Langer, about that tactic of getting bowlers into their fourth spells, then… On the eve of his Test debut, in what had otherwise been another horizontally laidback press appearance, Jofra Archer had suddenly fired in a verbal bouncer that was every bit as out of the blue as the languidly launched missiles that exploded on the Lord’s Test.Responding to Langer’s pre-match “curiosity” about how his body and mind would hold up in a format notorious for grinding down quick bowlers, Archer’s answer dripped with red-ball nous and Test-match readiness, not to mention a confidence that no ordinary Test debutant could have summoned at such will.ALSO READ: Madness of Test cricket sets up compelling finish”I’ve played a lot more red-ball than I have white-ball. I do think it’s my preferred format,” he said. “I’ve bowled 50 overs in one game already for Sussex and I’m usually the one bowling the most overs anyway. I think Justin Langer has another thing coming.”And sure enough, Archer could hardly have predicted more accurately the day’s astonishing scenes had his thoughts been recycled from one of his four-year-old Tweets.Jofra Archer celebrates after removing Tim Paine•Getty Images
Archer was already 25 overs into his work for the innings, and armed with a ragged old ball that was four overs from completing its 80-over lifespan, when we finally discovered what a silken, effortless, natural-born quick bowler can achieve when he decides the time is ripe to bend that back, and go from effortless to effort-full.Comparisons are odious when the action is as raw and visceral as Archer made it. The historian David Frith, who witnessed Frank Tyson in his pomp in 1954-55 as well as every great West Indian fast bowler from Wes Hall to Ian Bishop, rightly pointed out that Archer is his own man, with his own methods, and moreover he was bowling within his own context.The pitch, the conditions, the emotions, the opponents – all of these differ from one great spell to the next, meaning that Harold Larwood at Adelaide in 1932-33, or Jeff Thomson at Brisbane in 1974-75, or Allan Donald at Trent Bridge, or Michael Holding at The Oval, can only really stand as testament to their own brilliance, bullet-points in Test cricket’s extraordinary history, or bullet-holes if you prefer.But what we witnessed, in the context of the recent Ashes rivalry, was a passage of play as savage, compelling and potentially series-turning as that moment when Mitchell Johnson first slipped his handbrake at Brisbane in 2013-14. In a searing eight-over spell at the end of a 29-over innings, Archer reminded us that there’s a world of difference between run-of-the-mill quick bowling and furious, rip-snortingly rapid head-hunting.”I’ve got massive admiration for Jofra,” said a mildly chastened Langer, who insisted that his point about Archer’s stamina had been misconstrued. “He’s an unbelievable athlete, an incredibly skillful bowler.”To bowl 30 overs, it doesn’t matter if you’re Jofra Archer, or Pat Cummins, or Josh Hazlewood, or James Anderson, or [Kagiso] Rabada. It’s hard work. And that was my point before the game. His endurance was outstanding today, his skill and his pace. What an athlete, what a great player to have to promote Test cricket.”All throughout his maiden Test innings, Archer had been lurking in Australia’s peripheral vision. Pacing, probing, sizing up the pitch, his opponents, and perhaps most of all, his command of a red Dukes ball, the like of which he has barely used in 11 months.”I don’t think Jofra bowled as quick as he can out there,” said Stuart Broad at the close of day three.I think it’s fair to say we have seen him do so now…The catalyst for his onslaught was his return to the Pavilion End, the traditional hunting ground of the senior strike bowler, with its slope back down into the right-hander designed to create doubt in that channel outside off, the very channel in which Steven Smith has been so imperious throughout this series.Within six balls, Archer had breached Australia’s first line of defence, as Tim Paine – watchful throughout his second-fiddle innings – was caught in two minds (and then at short leg) by the one that nipped back off the seam. And like every fast bowler that’s ever been born, the thrill of a wicket was all that Archer needed to tip his game into overdrive.In Archer’s next full over with Smith in his sights, he began to purr through his gears – 93mph, 94mph, 94mph – as smooth through his acceleration as a Porsche on the Autobahn. And suddenly Smith found that his extra split-second was no longer there, that his peerless ability to sight the ball on the back foot and point to it mockingly as he left it on the front was redundant.And then, the first morale-denting strike. A vicious lifter into the forearm, as Smith curled into a defensive ball straight from the hand, unsettled by the line and no longer able to compute the length as the ball chased him like a rogue bludger before leaving him shaking his left arm in agony.For a time it seemed he might have to retire there and then, his grip compromised, his invincible aura torn, but to his immense credit he popped a couple of pills, accepted some tight binding and took his guard once more. But it was clear that the passive aggression with which he had dominated England for three innings was not coming back – at least not here, not now. This was fight-or-flight mode, and again to his credit, Smith chose the former.Steven Smith fell to the ground after being hit•Getty Images
Consecutive bouncers, consecutive hooks – like KP against Lee at The Oval in 2005, but without the soaring upshot, as the first skimmed out of Jonny Bairstow’s reach for four before the second plugged behind square for the single. And then, a scorcher, sizzling into the gloves at a scarcely believable 96.1mph … handbrake not so much slipped as torn clean out of its socket.But the coup de grace was still to come. Another bouncer, another less-than-confident hook for four … and then the sucker punch. An exquisitely awful moment of pure sporting theatre, as Smith was slammed on the side of the neck by another ugly, incredible, spiteful snorter, and felled in the same instant.The reaction around Lord’s was stunned bewilderment … much like Archer’s as well, who initially turned on his heel, his objective for the delivery achieved, before realising he needed to join the loose melee that had formed around the stricken Smith, who did at least – in removing his own helmet while spread-eagled on the deck – telegraph the fact that he had not been laid out cold.An uncomfortable hush descended as the physios of both teams rushed out to attend to Smith, punctuated by a few boos from the witless few who still believe he deserves to be judged for his actions in Cape Town rather than his incredible feats both here and at Edgbaston.And though he left the field without assistance, it was still a surprise to see him returning to the middle, to yawn into a succession of devil-may-care fours that inched him within touching distance of his third century in as many innings.It wasn’t the same batsman who had left the crease some 45 minutes earlier, however. For starters he ended up being pinned lbw, offering no shot as Chris Woakes curled one back into off stump – the holy grail dismissal that England had begun to believe was a myth in this series.”It took a serious spell of fast bowling from Jofra to get Steve out of his bubble, because so far in the series he has been incredible,” Woakes said. “I’m sure it was incredible to watch because it was incredible to be a part of it on the field and thankfully, having seen Steve on the balcony, it looks like he’s okay which is obviously good news.”Smith’s return to the middle, Langer joked, had come about because he had protested he wouldn’t be able to get himself onto the honours board if he stayed sitting in the dressing-room. And though he failed in that objective, the drama had been so absolute that, for once in this series, his extraction from the crease counted for less than the fact that he had returned to it at all.
A "quietly effective" Tottenham star has been praised for "flying under the radar" this season, as Ange Postecoglou's side also take a gigantic stride towards potential Champions League qualification.

Postecoglou's men were forced to battle hard in the first half, with neither side really dominating proceedings as Spurs went into the second period with it all to play for.
However, it was the north London travellers who eventually seized that game by the scruff of its neck. Two quick-fire goals right after the restart from James Maddison and Brennan Johnson, both from swift counter-attacks handed Tottenham total control of the contest.

It was easy work for Spurs from that point onwards, especially after Villa captain John McGinn was sent off midway through the half. Son Heung-min and Timo Werner rounded off a memorable afternoon in added time, with this 4-0 win potentially proving a season-defining one.
"That was the message at half-time — just persevere, stay calm, play our football, maintain our intensity," said Postecoglou after Tottenham's win over Villa.
"And we did, we got off to a flier and then the quality of our football was excellent to see out the game. I said before the game that I still think there's a significant part of the season to go. There's still 11 games for us anyway. There's so many challenging games and every game will have meaning between now and the end of the year. Not just for us, for every team.
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou.
"If we had lost today, I don't think that would have discounted us from whatever other people put on as targets for us. I've been consistently saying what's important for me is our growth as a team and I thought we saw that today. It was another positive step forward."
Spurs now prepare for a crucial fixture list ahead, but defender Ryan Sessegnon will be out for rest of the season and unable to contribute. Certain members of Postecoglou's squad will be far more important in the run-in, though, like winger Dejan Kulusevski.
Kulusevski praised for "flying under the radar" at Tottenham
Speaking to Tottenham News, pundit John Wenham has heaped praise on Kulusevski for "flying under the radar" this season.
“Kulusevski is flying under the radar a bit, but he is having a quietly effective season. His goal against Wolves was his sixth in the Premier League this year, which is already triple the total of two he got across the entire 2022/23 Premier League campaign.
Dejan Kulusevski celebrates for Tottenham.
“He’s really improved his output. He’s normally the player who gets the assist for the assist, but he is scoring more now, which is good to see.”
The Sweden international has been a mainstay for Postecoglou, scoring six goals and bagging three assists in 25 league appearances. His good form lately will be a boost for Spurs, as their popular head coach looks to round off an excellent debut campaign with European qualification.
