MATCH 1955 - Sunday 25 February 2024

SEASON 2023/24

SCOTTISH PREMIER LEAGUE

Venue: FIR PARK

MOTHERWELL  1  CELTIC  3

Scorers: Spittal; Idah(2), Palma

My second visit to Fir Park this season and like the first one there was late drama in time added on as Celtic won the three points with two late strikes.

It was certainly "a game of two halves" for Celtic in terms of performance. First half was very laboured with few chances however they were transformed in the second after a change upfront.  Idah replaced Kyogo and the second half was just a series of Celtic chances. 

Personal note:

• 124th time attending this fixture - 111th in the league
• 54th match at Fir Park - 47 Celtic matches

MATCH 1954 - Saturday 24 February 2024

SEASON 2023/24

ENGLISH FA PREMIERSHIP

Venue: OLD TRAFFORD 

MANCHESTER UNITED  1  FULHAM  2

Scorers: Maguire;  Bassey, Iwobi

Attendance: 73,487

My third Man U match this year and despite going into the game in good form they struggled badly to get into the game without of their main striker Rasmus Hojlund who was missing due to injury.

Fulham totally dominated the game and despite conceding an equaliser in the final minute deservedly won it deep into stoppage time (90+6 minute).

Unfortunately one of the players I always enjoy watching Willian of Fulham also missed out due to injury.

Rasmus Hojlund - A big miss today

• 4th time seeing Fulham
