Brendan Rodgers would be the first to acknowledge that Celtic haven’t played at their most fluid level this season, but his depleted team will head to Fir Park on Saturday inspired by their “monumental effort” to defeat Livingston with 10 men the previous weekend.
The Hoops travel to Motherwell for their most recent Scottish Premiership match after getting back on track in West Lothian, where manager Brendan Rodgers commended the resilience of his players for bouncing back fast from the disruption caused by custodian Joe Hart’s red card.
As a result, the seasoned goalie will be suspended right away and will need to be replaced in North Lanarkshire. In addition, Rodgers must choose between starting James Forrest, Yang Hyun-jun, or Luis Palma on the right wing.

2. GK Scott Bain
Regular No. 1 Joe Hart is out due to a suspension, thus backup Bain, who entered versus Livingston, will replace Siegrist. He has a strong chance to impress.
3. RB Alistair Johnston

4. Gustaf Lagerbielke – RCB
The Swede recovered well from his Feyenoord red card with a decent showing against Livi last weekend. Should have done enough to keep his place.
