MATCH 1496 - Wednesday, 2nd January 2013

Season:  2012/13
SCOTTISH PREMIER LEAGUE
Venue:  CELTIC PARK

*** MY 100th MATCH BETWEEN THESE SIDES ***

                       

CELTIC    1    MOTHERWELL    0
Scorer:  Hooper

Classic match in which both teams play to their strengths.  Celtic started strongly but were unable to take any of their early changes.  However it wasn't until late in the match that the main drama unfolded.  Motherwell were awarded a penalty with under 15 minutes to go.  Jamie Murphy who was playing his last for Well impressed throughout the match and when he went down in the box referee McLean very willingly gave the spot kick.  Not for the first time Fraser Forster was a hero for Celtic pulling off a great save with the score all square. 

The save inspired Celtic and minutes later Hooper slotted home a cross to give them victory.
