Review
Motherwell are having their best season for years so this was a huge result for Celtic.
There were many positives on the day. Deans scored twice, hit the bar and set up Dalglish's goal near the end to clinch it. Edvaldsson played sweeper behind MacDonald and McCluskey as the full backs pushed forward.
But the biggest boost was the return of Steve Murray to the midfield. He organised the team in the centre of the park and together with Ronnie Glavin they ran the game and allowed Dalglish to move into the forward line where he is most dangerous.
