Motherwell 0-1 Celtic: Bhoys stay in 有利な立場（位置） in Scottish 首相の職 after 勝利，勝つ

• e-mail

As a qualified teacher, Ronny Deila will be more familiar than most with half-称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 報告（する）／憶測s. This lunchtime 衝突／不一致 at Motherwell 示すd six months in the Celtic Park hotseat for the Norwegian ― and an 評価 of his 業績／成果 so far would make for 肯定的な reading, if 公式文書，認めるing a need for 改良.

On this 証拠, Celtic will have no trouble in （人命などを）奪う，主張するing their fourth-連続する league 肩書を与える. It took a 事柄 of minutes for them to carve open Motherwell here, with Anthony Stokes notching a simple goal after just six minutes.

But if Deila's 味方する continue to be as wasteful in 前線 of goal as they were against a lacklustre 井戸／弁護士席 味方する, the 経営者／支配人 can forget any dreams of an elusive 国内の Treble. John Guidetti, in particular, was 有罪の of 拒絶するing a number of chances which kept the Steelmen 堅固に in the game.

Celtic's Anthony Stokes slots home the only goal of the game in his 味方する's one goal victory at Moth erwell?

It was Stokes' sixth league goal of the season, helping the Bhoys to their second 勝利，勝つ in just four days?

While Celtic still have 広大な／多数の／重要な 取引，協定 to d o, though, they 論証するd at モミ Park that Scotland is still 有能な of classy, entertaining football, at least.

At the end of a tumultuous week in which a fair few home truths about the 国家の game were laid 明らかにする, this 会合 of last season's 最高の，を越す two 明確に 展示（する）d Scottish football's strengths and 欠陥s. Snooker, ボクシング and darts impresario Barry Hearn tore into the SFA while speaking at their 年次の 条約 on Wednesday ― 最高潮の場面ing the 欠如（する） of 後援, alcohol 禁止（する） and dwindling （人が）群がるs as 重要な factors in the Scottish game's 拒絶する／低下する.

Yet Celtic boss Ronny Deila 爆破d 支援する at the former Leyton Orient owner, standing up for the 熱烈な atmosphere and exciting play he has 証言，証人／目撃するd during his 簡潔な／要約する 任期.

This match certainly 配達するd noise in spades ― 予定 大部分は to the 広大な sea of green behind one goal ― yet there were still 列s of empty seats in the home sections amongst the 7,740 （人が）群がる.

This was in no small part to the 悲惨な start to the （選挙などの）運動をする 耐えるd by last season's 走者s up ― a 1-1 draw at Parkhead in September was a meagre 最高潮の場面 in a （選挙などの）運動をする さもなければ devoid of moments to savour.

Iain Vigurs の近くにs 負かす／撃墜する Celtic captain Scott Brown during a temultuous fixture at モミ Park on Saturday

Tempers ゆらめくd somewhat when Celtic's Scott Brown (third left) squared up to Motherwell's Iain Vigurs?

It was a feisty 事件／事情／状勢 and Celtic were on 最高の，を越す of the game for the most part against a struggling Motherwell ?

Since then the goals ― and 業績／成果s ― have 乾燥した，日照りのd up, with managerless Motherwell winning just once in nine and 得点する／非難する／２０ing only six.

A run of five straight 敗北・負かすs drove Stuart McCall to call it a day and 管理人 boss Kenny 黒人／ボイコット is yet to 奮起させる a 十分な-規模 復活. 黒人／ボイコット has 適用するd for the 職業 although former Newcastle 部隊d midfielder Nolberto Solano has been 堅固に tipped to 後継する McCall.

In the first-half here, the Steelmen appeared every bit as uncertain as their off-field 問題／発行するs with Celtic 支配するing from the off.

Having rubbished （人命などを）奪う，主張するs that Scotland was a long-ball nation in midweek, Deila practised what he preached as the Bhoys 遂行する／発効させるd a passing masterclass ― to the extent that even goalkeeper Craig Gordon resisted punting 今後s in the 開始 45.

They should have been in 前線 almost すぐに when Scott Brown threaded a perfectly-負わせるd through pass to John Guidetti. The industrious Swede raced （疑いを）晴らす but dragged his finish wide of the upright.

にもかかわらず having a hatful of chances Celtic were 特に wasteful in 前線 of goal on Saturday afternoon

Virgil 先頭 Dijk (権利) 跡をつけるs 負かす／撃墜する Motherwell's John Sutton in his 味方する's one-goal victory?

But Celtic made 修正するs moments later as Stefan Johansen, 圧力（をかける）ing high up the park, won the ball on the 辛勝する／優位 of the box. The Celtic No10 一連の会議、交渉／完成するd the onrushing Dan Twardzik and 削減（する） 支援する to Stokes, who slotted comfortably past the two 井戸／弁護士席 defenders on the line.

The hosts could not 扱う the comba tive Johansen and Nir Bitton ― impressing in place of the 負傷させるd Charlie Mulgrew ― and Celtic soon created another 開始. Bitton knocked the ball across to Brown, who instinctively let it run through his 脚s to James Forrest ― taking Aleksandar Tonev's place wide 権利 ― in space to the 権利 of the 刑罰，罰則 area, but the winger could only 解雇する／砲火／射撃 wide.

It took 15 minutes for Motherwell to even string two passes together and, when they did, Iain Vigurs 爆破d high and wide from distance.

Moments later, Johansen was robbed by Vigurs on the far touchline and the midfielder 乗る，着手するd on a mazy run. Yet, with few team-mates in support, this rare 微光 of 質 from the Steelmen 証明するd futile.

Celtic then 拒絶するd yet another chance. This time Bitton fed Guidetti just outside the box, who tucked a neat backheel to Johansen which the Norwegian 演習d straight at Twardzik.

Motherwell were 軍隊d into a change when 権利-支援する Fraser Kerr limped off and was 取って代わるd by David Ferguson.

Motherwell's Simon Ramsden is sent off for this 取り組む on Celtic's James Forrest just after the hour 示す

Ramsden's 肺 on Forrest left Motherwell with a 抱擁する 仕事 as they looked for a second half equaliser?

The 訪問者s should have been 4-0 up at the break but could have gone in level when Motherwell fashioned a superb 適切な時期. Henrik Ojamaa 設立する Josh 法律 out on the left and his 演習d cross was touched behind before John Sutton could pounce.

The Steelmen continued to 圧力（をかける） after the break ― Estonian playmaker Ojamaa 炎d wide after Virgil 先頭 Dijk and Bitton failed to （疑いを）晴らす their lines.

にもかかわらず 欠如（する）ing their first-half fluidity, the 訪問者s still looked incredibly dangerous and Forrest almost 二塁打d his 味方する's advantage when his 18-yard 発射 was saved.

Yet Motherwell's 仕事 was made even more difficult when Simon Ramsden was 解任するd 中途の through the second period for a 無謀な 肺 on Forrest on the 辛勝する／優位 of the area.

Dead-ball specialist Guidetti could only find the Celtic 支持者s with the その後の 解放する／自由な-kick, but his 味方する すぐに sought to make their 数値／数字による prowess count.

The 22-year-old fluffed his lines once more ― somehow つまずくing Izaguirre's cross from the left into Twardzik ― before the keeper made an astonishing stop to 否定する Forrest from only two yards out.

黒人／ボイコット threw on Lionel Ainsworth and 物陰／風下 Erwin and the 代用品，人s （機の）カム agonisingly の近くに to snatching an ありそうもない leveller. Ainsworth swung an excellent ball in from the 権利 which unmarked Erwin somehow nodded wide.

The striker was then 調書をとる／予約するd for 飛び込み in a 企て，努力，提案 to 勝利，勝つ a 刑罰，罰則 and Gordon, for the first time, 開始する，打ち上げるd his goal kick to safety.
