Earlier today, we asked how much you could remember about past associations with the North Lanarkshire side in CQN‘s fun five-minute quiz to test your knowledge.
Now we repeat those questions and provide the answers.
DIDN’T HE DO WELL…Filipe Jota races away in triumph after scoring in his Celtic comeback game, a 3-1 win over Motherwell at Fir Park in February 2025. (See Question 1.)
QUESTIONS:
1: True or false: Filipe Jota’s goal on his Celtic comeback in the team’s 3-1 win over Motherwell at Fir Park in February last year was his last strike for the champions?
2: Who scored Celtic’s winner in the 3-2 victory at Parkhead in October in the first meeting of the clubs this season?
3: What was the significance of that goal to Brendan Rodgers?
4: True or false: Joe McBride was Jock Stein’s first-ever signing for Celtic?
5: Which Celtic player faced Well in the 2-0 loss on December 30 and left the Hoops a month later?
ANSWERS:
1: False. Filipe Jota also scored against Dundee United (3-0), Aberdeen (5-1), Hearts (3-0) and St Johnstone (5-0) before his ligament injury in the title-clinching 5-0 win over Dundee United at Tannadice on April 26 that wiped out the remainder of last season and all of the current campaign.
2: Daizen Maeda.
3: It was Brendan Rodgers’ last win and final league game at Parkhead.
4: True. Joe McBride arrived on a £22,000 deal from Motherwell in the summer of 1965 as Jock Stein’s first-ever signing for Celtic.
