Celtic aim to level with Rangers

Martin O’Neill sent Celtic out to face Motherwell at Fir Park hoping the untimely revelations over his delay in signing a new contract had not distracted his title-chasing side from the task in hand of moving level on points with Rangers.

Celtic could even move to the top of the Bank of Scotland Premier League if they were to beat the bottom club by four clear goals or produce a 7-4 success.
