Two-goal Watt fires up Celtic

Celtic debutant Tony Watt scored twice in three remarkable second-half minutes to help the Clydesdale Bank Premier League champions to victory over Motherwell at Fir Park.

The game was drifting when the 18-year-old striker replaced Pawel Brozek in the 59th minute but it came to life when he volleyed in a Victor Wanyama cross three minutes later from a tight angle.

With the travelling support still celebrating, he drove low past Well goalkeeper Darren Randolph from the edge of the box.

Hoops wing-back Cha Du-ri headed in a third to deal a blow to the home side’s Champions League aspirations, the Steelmen now only three points ahead of fourth-placed Dundee United having played the same amount of games.

Hibernian old boy Dean Shiels ensured the Scottish Cup finalists’ battle to avoid Clydesdale Bank Premier League relegation continues after Kilmarnock claimed a narrow victory at Easter Road.

Hibs were dominant for long periods but it was Scottish Communities League Cup winners Killie who emerged victorious as Shiels converted a 44th-minute penalty against the run of play after Jorge Claros was adjudged to have brought down Liam Kelly.

Leigh Griffiths, who scored the Scottish Cup semi-final winner to set up next month’s all-Edinburgh final, was lively for Hibs, but Pat Fenlon’s Hibs side now hold a six-point advantage over bottom club Dunfermline with four games to play.

The win saw Killie return to seventh place above Aberdeen and meant Hibs have one win and 10 losses at home this term and may yet require victory over Dunfermline, who yesterday drew 4-4 at St Mirren, on May 7 to avoid the drop.

Meanwhile, Andy Little has urged Rangers’ administrators to ensure they make the right choice in selecting a potential new owner as the club head into one of the most crucial periods in their history.

The striker was on target with a double in Saturday’s 3-0 win over Hearts as frantic discussions continued behind the scenes to safeguard the future of the club.

Little said: “I’m sure everybody is doing their best for the club. The gaffer follows it pretty well and he knows what’s going on.

“I think he has said in the past, if it takes a bit longer to get the right man or the right people in charge, then that’s fine.

“We don’t want to rush into a decision. It’s a big thing for the club and we want to make sure it’s the right decision.”
