MATT O’RILEY celebrated his contract extension with Celtic in the finest style possible as he popped up with a 97th minute winner to break Motherwell’s hearts at Fir Park.
When Palma shaped a cross into the area that found its way into the net from the edge of the Motherwell right late on he appeared to have broken the hearts of the spirited Steelmen, but the hosts roared back and looked to have secured what they would have felt was a deserved share of the spoils as Spittal wriggled clear in the Celtic area and found the bottom corner of Scott Bain’s net deep into stoppage time.
Those home supporters responded in kind when Spittal scored in stoppage time, spilling out onto the field and prematurely celebrating in the faces of the rival fans. When Celtic pulled a winner out of the hat, there was only going to be one outcome, and the surge of fans from the away end overwhelmed the trackside security.
There was little he could do about Spittal’s goal, and all in all, he can be well pleased with his display after so long on the sidelines.Amid the euphoria of the manner of Celtic’s win, the contribution of Yang could easily – and understandably - be forgotten.
