How to watch on the Big Screen
Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:
- Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
- Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
Team news & squads
Motherwell vs Celtic Probable lineups
Manager
- A. Johansson
Motherwell are managed by Alfred Johansson for this fixture, though no confirmed injury or suspension information is currently available for the home side. Further squad updates are expected closer to kick-off.
Celtic are led by Martin O'Neill, who recently confirmed he will continue as manager after a period of reflection during the international break. No injury or suspension data has been confirmed for the away squad at this stage, and the team news section will be updated as information becomes available.
Form
Motherwell arrive at this fixture in poor form, having lost three of their last five Premiership matches. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-1 defeat to Dundee FC, and they were beaten 4-0 by Aberdeen earlier in September. Their one win in that run came against Dundee United, a 3-0 victory, while a 3-3 draw with St. Mirren shows they are capable of scoring but have struggled badly to keep opponents out.
Celtic's recent form is similarly concerning. O'Neill's side have lost three of their last five across all competitions, including a 3-0 League Cup defeat to Rangers and a 3-1 loss to Ferencvaros in the Europa League. Their most recent Premiership match ended in a 1-0 defeat to Rangers, though they do have back-to-back league wins earlier in the run against St. Johnstone and St. Mirren to show they can perform at this level.
Head-to-Head Record
Celtic have the stronger recent record in this fixture. The last meeting at Fir Park, in May 2026, ended 3-2 to Celtic, while Motherwell did claim a notable 2-0 home win in December 2025. Across the last five head-to-head matches, Celtic have won three times to Motherwell's one, with one further Celtic victory at Parkhead, and the Hoops have generally found a way to edge these encounters even when the margin has been tight.
Standings
Celtic lead the Scottish Premiership in first place, while Motherwell sit eighth, making this a fixture between the division's current pace-setters and a side still searching for consistency in the bottom half of the table.
