    Need to Know: A look at Celtic

    Motherwell travel to Celtic Park for the first time this season on the back of a well-earned win against St Johnstone. 

    Brendan Rodgers’ side find themselves one point behind league leaders Rangers with a game in hand as they get set for the visit of the Steelmen.

    Here, we take a look at the side from Glasgow.

    Table topping incentive

    After slipping to a 2-0 defeat against Hibernian at the weekend, Celtic will be hungry to bounce back as they host Motherwell.

    With competition at the top of the Ladbrokes Premiership, the Hoops find themselves more tested than in recent campaigns, and will be hoping for a big performance on Wednesday night.

    Key absentees

    Although the Glaswegians will be hoping for a reaction from their defeat at the weekend, they will need to do so without some key players.

    Ryan Christie’s fine form was brought to an abrupt end when he sustained what looked to be a bad leg injury, however the knock does not look as bad as first feared.

    Leigh Griffiths will of course be absent, after announcing he would take a break from football.

    Strong home form

    Celtic may have slipped up on the road at times this season, but their home form in recent weeks has been as strong as ever.

    In their previous three home domestic matches, the club have won all three games against tough opposition like Kilmarnock, Hearts and Hibs.

    Perhaps more impressively, they’ve scored 14 goals and conceded just three.

    In Numbers: Preparing to face Celtic

    Celtic play host to Stephen Robinson’s side in a rearranged Ladbrokes Premiership match on Wednesday night.

    Here’s the game previewed in numbers.

    Six

    With Celtic in third spot and Motherwell ninth, six positions separate the two clubs in the Ladbrokes Premiership.

    Celtic sit a point off top with 33 points after 16 matches, while Motherwell have 18 from 17 games.

    14

    Brendan Rodgers’ side are the model of consistency at home on domestic duty, picking up maximum points from games at Celtic Park this season.

    Ominously, they have netted 14 times in their last three league games on home turf, putting five past both Hearts and Kilmarnock, and four past Hibernian.

    19

    The 19th of December is a significant day. Three years ago on that date, Motherwell went to Celtic and picked up a huge 2-1 victory.

    This fixture coincidentally also falls on 19 December. And if you’re looking for more omens, the match referee is the same for both matches, with Bobby Madden the man in the middle.

    Robinson hoping for consistency

    Stephen Robinson is hoping to see his side follow up from Saturday’s win over St Johnstone as they prepare for a trip to take on Celtic. 

    The Steelmen visit Parkhead for the Premiership encounter after recording a first win at McDiarmid Park in over six years.

    And the ‘Well boss is eager to see his side follow up with a big performance against Brendan Rodgers’ side.

    He said: “To go again after a result and performance like that will be a challenge. The hardest thing in football is getting that again and again, but that’s what we’re asking of these boys.”

    Play the Well Lottery and win hospitality

    Our lottery scheme to help invest money in youth development and our academy has changed.

    Our new Well Lottery allows you the chance to win up to £25,000, while also continuing to back the future players of the club.

    Still priced at £1 per entry, our new  providers Unity will also offer up smaller prizes of £1,000 and £25.

    What’s more, if you sign up before Friday, 21 December, you can win hospitality for two to our Boxing Day with Kilmarnock.

    HOW TO JOIN THE NEW WELL LOTTERY

    To join the new Well Lottery, you can now choose one of the following options:

    • Fill in the lottery leaflet provided and return via the freepost address provided to Unity.
    • Download a lottery leaflet from the Well Lottery website and return to Unity by post.
    • Sign up online here.

    Once you have signed up, you will receive a letter welcoming you to the lottery which will tell you your lottery numbers. You will then be entered into the draw for as long as you wish to play.

    HOW DOES THE NEW WELL LOTTERY WORK?

    We have teamed up with Unity to run the Well Lottery. For as little as £1 per week, you’ll have the chance to win up to £25,000. At least 50p of every £1 played goes straight to youth development but most importantly, there are no ongoing costs to the club.

    HOW IS IT DIFFERENT TO THE OLD LOTTERY?

    New lottery numbers: Every player will be allocated a six-digit lottery number for every entry they wish to play. If you match your number with the winning number drawn on a Saturday in the correct sequence, you can win up to £25,000.

    Higher prize fund: Through Unity, we can now offer a higher weekly jackpot of £25,000, with smaller prizes of £1,000, £25 and five entries into the next draw on offer.

    More payment options: You can join the lottery by direct debit, credit card or cheque.

    Proceeds: Every £1 ticket gains Motherwell FC at least 50p towards the club’s youth development and academy programme.

    No change to the ticket price: It’s still £1 to play.

    WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?

    Every £1 is split three ways. At least 50p of every £1 comes straight to Motherwell FC, which is put towards the club’s youth Development and academy programme. The other 50p covers the cost of the administration of the lottery, and goes towards the fantastic prize fund.

    HOW DO I WIN?

    Every player of the new Well Lottery will be allocated a six-digit lottery number for every entry they wish to play. This idea is to match your number with the winning number that is drawn on a Saturday in the correct sequence. Every entry in the Unity lottery has an equal one in 63 chance of winning a prize.

    For example:

    325764 – random winning number

    326574 – your lottery number

    This is a three-number match, winning five entries into the next draw.

    HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE WON?

    Players are notified automatically, and prizes sent out by post, so you do not need to claim your prize. If you would like to check the winning number each week, these can be found on Unity’s website and here on the official Motherwell FC website.

    WHAT IS UNITY?

    Unity is a platform on which charities run their own fundraising lottery. It is run by an external lottery manager, Sterling Lotteries, who administer hundreds of charity lotteries for clients across the country.
