Celtic travel to Fir Park to take on Motherwell in a crucial Scottish Premiership clash on Sunday afternoon, and fans have taken to Twitter to slam the selection of Dedryck Boyata in defence. 

The Hoops make the short trip south to take on the seventh-placed Well knowing that a win would put a seventh Premiership title in a row in little doubt.

Closest rivals Rangers lost 1-0 at home to Kilmarnock on Saturday to leave them nine points behind the Hoops, who have two games in hand on them.

That means that Celtic’s lead over Rangers could potentially widen to 15 points, if they win both games in hand, and virtually guarantee another league trophy for Brendan Rodgers and his men.

Celtic are coming into the match on the back of a massive win over the Gers, with substitute striker Odsonne Edouard scoring a beautiful goal to secure a 3-2 victory after Jozo Simunovic had seen red on the hour mark.

Opponents Motherwell are however coming in off the back of a disappointing loss to Hamilton Academical, falling to a 2-0 defeat at New Douglas Park.

Celtic focus before the match has turned to Brendan Rodgers’ selection of Belgian enforcer Boyata, who made a horrific mistake against Rangers last time out to allow the Light Blues the opening goal.
