Stuart Kettlewell has named his Motherwell team for this afternoon’s game against Celtic. The teams meet in the first Boxing Day clash at Celtic Park in 14 years.
Motherwell drew against Killie on Friday night but were reduced to ten men after a wild refereeing decision. Dan Casey is free to play and starts, alongside ex-Celtic starlet Tony Watt and one to watch, Lennon Miller.
