Goal Statistics

Celtic's defensive record is very strong, M. O'Neill's men having conceded 1 or less in 8 consecutive Premiership outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.2 for Motherwell makes sense in this context.

A PG of 2.3 is fairly strong for Celtic in their meeting with Motherwell, as is their run of scoring 1 goal or more in 39 consecutive Premiership matches.
