Celtic back on top of SPL table

Motherwell 0 Celtic 4

Stilian Petrov and Paul Lambert both hit stunning doubles to fire the champions back to the top of the Bank of Scotland Premier League in awesome fashion at Fir Park.

McFadden and Clarkson were both hauled off by Butcher, perhaps fearing that a sending off would rule them out for the vital run-in.

Larsson could have rounded the result off in some style with four minutes left, but he fired over from eight yards after substitute Jamie Smith had done well down the right.

Broto enhanced his growing reputation in the final minutes when he saved from Richard Offiong to make sure Celtic were top of the table tonight.
