Motherwell 0 Celtic 3:Celtic debutant Tony Watt scored twice in three remarkable second-half minutes to help the Scottish Premier League champions to victory over Motherwell at Fir Park.
The game was drifting when the 18-year-old striker replaced Pawel Brozek in the 59th minute but it came to life when he volleyed in a Victor Wanyama cross three minutes later from a tight angle.
With the travelling support still celebrating, he drove low past Well goalkeeper Darren Randolph from the edge of the box.
Hoops wing-back Cha Du-ri headed in a third to deal a blow to the home side’s Champions League aspirations, the Steelmen now only three points ahead of fourth-placed Dundee United having played the same amount of games.
But this game was all about the former Airdrie United player who would have given manager Neil Lennon immense satisfaction as he sat in the stand serving the first of his two-match touchline ban for criticising referee Willie Collum after last month’s League Cup final defeat by Kilmarnock at Hampden.
