O'Neill focuses on title race
Martin O’Neill ignored the speculation surrounding his future to concentrate on securing the three points at Fir Park this afternoon that would guarantee his fourth Bank of Scotland Premier League championship in five seasons with the Glasgow giants.
The Celtic manager named the same team which beat Hearts last week to remain two points clear of Rangers, who face Hibernian at Easter Road on final day of the SPL season.
Motherwell boss Terry Butcher has been rocked by injury problems and he made two changes to the side which lost to his former club at Ibrox last weekend with Jim Hamilton and Stephen Craigan coming in for crocked Paul Quinn and David Clarkson, who was on the bench.
Motherwell: Marshall, Corrigan, Craigan, Kinniburgh, Fagan, Foran, Kerr, Fitzpatrick, Paterson, Scott McDonald, Hamilton. Subs: Britton, Clarkson, Corr, Higgins, Connolly, Keogh, Smith.
Celtic: Douglas, Agathe, Balde, Varga, McNamara, Petrov, Lennon, Sutton, Thompson, Hartson, Bellamy. Subs: Valgaeren, Lambert, Laursen, Marshall, Maloney, Beattie, McGeady.
Referee: H Dallas (Scotland)
