CONFIRMED: CCV RETURNS IN SHAKE-UP

0

CAMERON CARTER-VICKERS is at the centre of the Celtic defence for today’s Premiership encounter against Motherwell at Fir Park.

The USA international returns after missing the Champions League loss to Aston Villa in midweek with Liam Scales dropping to the substitutes’ bench.

Alistair Johnston is also among the stand-by squad with Anthony Ralston in at the start while Daizen Maeda takes over from Yang Hyun-jun on the left. Luke McCowan starts in place of Arne Engels.

As expected, comeback Bhoy Filipe Jota is also on the bench.

TEAM: Schmeichel; Ralston, Carter-Vickers, Trusty, Taylor; McCowan, McGregor, Hatate; Kuhn, Idah, Maeda. Subs: Sinisalo, Jota, Johnston, Scales, Yang, Nawrocki, Kenny, Engels, Bernardo.

Earlier today, we asked how much could remember about past associations with Well in CQN‘s fun five-minute quiz to test your knowledge.

Now we repeat those questions and provide the answers.

A CAPTAIN’S ROLE…Alistair Johnston thumps in Celtic’s second goal in the 3-0 win over Motherwell at Fir Park in October. (See Question 4.)

QUESTIONS:

1: True or false: Filipe Jota scored his first Premiership goal for Celtic against Motherwell in his debut campaign in 2021/22?

2: Celtic won 2-0 at Fir Park that day. A former Well player scored against his old club on that occasion. Can you remember his name?

3: Celtic won 2-1 at the venue in September 2023. Both marksmen are no longer at the club. Can you name them?

4: Who captained Celtic – and scored – in the 3-0 win at Fir Park in October last year?

5: Which former Motherwell boss also managed Celtic?

ANSWERS:

1: False. Filipe Jota scored his first Premiership goal for Celtic in a 2-1 win over Aberdeen at Pittodrie on October 3 2021 – a fortnight before his strike at Fir Park.

2: David Turnbull, now at Cardiff City.

3: Luis Palma, on loan at Olympiacos, and Matt O’Riley, a £25million-plus signing for Brighton in August last year.

4: Alistair Johnston.

5: Davie Hay.

Well done if you got five out of five. Go to the top of the class!
