Kyogo Furuhashi scored two goals to help Celtic win 2-1. It was a great afternoon for the Hoops.

“I’m really surprised” – Video footage capturing penalty incident against the 26 years-old Defender Dan Casey that was ruled out during Motherwell vs Celtic Fc match! RIGHT OR WRONG?

It looks like the judge made a bad call in Celtic’s game against Motherwell this afternoon. Yang took a shot at goal in the second half that hit Casey in the Motherwell defense.

Despite this, the game went on before Willie Collum seemed to be talking to VAR judge Gavin Duncan. The game went on. However, video of the event shows that Casey’s arm is not in line with his silhouette, which is against the rules set by the IFAB and should have led to a penalty.

There are still six minutes left for Celtic to score a goal, but this should have been a penalty anyway.

“What a goal” Video: Adam Idah scores with a powerful header during Motherwell Vs Celtic Match (1-3)

Adam Idah scored a great shot to tie the game for Celtic. He rose to connect with a cross from Greg Taylor, beating Liam Kelly to level the score in the 51st minute.

Idah would have known very well how important his part would be this afternoon after taking over for Kyogo at halftime. Now, the player on loan from Norwich City has shown how good he is by scoring a goal that got Brendan Rodgers’ team back into the game.

This is Idah’s third goal for the club since he joined in January, and he will be looking to lead the way and help the team make a comeback.

The race for the title between Celtic and Liverpool could go down to the wire, and Brendan Rodgers will have to deal with some tough situations to make sure his team wins.

After a series of events last weekend, Rangers took the lead in the Scottish Premiership going into the latest set of games. At the moment, the Bhoys are playing catch-up.

Rodgers’ team dropped the ball at home against Kilmarnock and gave up two points in a weak way, thanks to David Watson’s late shot.

Still, Celtic has to keep going. This Sunday, they journey to Fir Park to play Motherwell in a game they need to win because they are still in the title race.

The match will be reffed by Willie Collum, and it will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football at precisely 12 p.m.

Before the game, the Hoops could be as many as five points behind if things go in a certain way somewhere else. But there is no room for mistake, even if something happens that we can’t control.

Paul Hartley talks about Brendan Rodgers, the boss of Celtic.

Going back in time, former Celtic midfielder Paul Hartley was in a similar situation to what his old team is going through now during his two great title-winning seasons at Parkhead.

What does the 47-year-old think about the Bhoys’ chances of coming back from a two-point hole under Rodgers?

Hartley told The Scottish Sun that he thinks Irishman is the “ideal man to settle things down” in the coming weeks, comparing it to his time as manager under Gordon Strachan.

“Brendan won’t freak out,” he said. He’s way too good at running things. After Celtic’s loss to Kilmarnock last Saturday, he was very honest and said they didn’t play as well as he wanted or expected.

“But his team is good, and he’s the right person to make things right again.” Brendan has won a lot of awards over the years, and he will stay cool. In 2008, Gordon Strachan did the same thing—he made things very easy.

It was clear that we would have to fight hard to win. Barry Robson and I played together in the middle against Motherwell, and it went well. We made a big change when we won that game 4-1.

“Rangers came to play us twice soon after, and we won both times.” We took the lead in the title race all of a sudden and never looked back. Brendan will know that Celtic needs to get better in the future, but this season still has a long way to go.

Celtic need to keep their cool as the heat builds.
In reality, there is always some pressure at Celtic because of how good the standards are at Parkhead.

Still, winning is the most important thing right now, and getting three points on Sunday could give them more confidence going into a string of important games.

The Boyz still have five league games to go before they go to Ibrox to play Rangers on April 7. Rodgers’ team can’t afford to lose any more points.

There is still a chance that they can promise they will be in charge of the Scottish Premiership title if they pick up speed over the next few weeks.
