Motherwell suffered a 2-0 defeat to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, with goals from Camilo Durán and Benjamin Nygren securing Celtic's position at the top of the table. In the first half, Durán opened the scoring in the ninth minute with a left-footed strike from outside the box, following a series of saves from Celtic goalkeeper Alex Paulsen.
Celtic maintained their lead until the hour mark, when Nygren doubled the advantage with a close-range finish from a rapid counterattack. Motherwell made a trio of substitutions in the second half, with Stephen O’Donnell, Willy Vogt, and Dylan Levitt replacing Cameron Carter-Vickers, Auston Trusty, and Durán. Celtic also made three changes, with Jota, Hasseim Hassan, and Shumaira Mheuka coming on for Høgh, Durán, Nygren, and Tounekti.
Kieran Tierney received a yellow card in the 82nd minute, followed by his removal from the match, which left Celtic to secure their second consecutive league top spot.
