Motherwell 0-4 Celtic

Last updated : 07 May 2003 By Kevin Smith
We asked for it and we got it! Celtic had to score 4 goals at Fir Park tonight to go back to the top of the SPL and they done it in style!

Two goals each from Stan Petrov and Paul Lambert were the icing on the cake in a classy Celtic performance, marred only by the thuggery of Motherwell FC.

It is no suprise to me that Motherwell have the worst disciplinary record in the league - they are more like a gang of neds rather than a football team.

It was inevitable they would not last the game with 11 men on the park but one man sent off was not enough.

Four super goals tonight made sure the Celts are top of the league, and we'll be looking for a few more on Saturday, against Hearts at Parkhead, to pile the pressure on Rangers, who play on Sunday.

Celtic:
Broto - 8
Laursen - 7
Balde - 7
McNamara - 7
Thompson - 7 (Crainey 88) - 6
Agathe - 7 (Sylla 82) - 5
Lennon - 8
Lambert - 9
Petrov - 9
Maloney - 9 (Smith 80) - 6
Larsson - 7
