Celtic have suffered three consecutive defeats across all competitions, with Rangers beating them in both league and cup action.
Despite that difficult run, Martin O’Neill’s reigning champions remain two points ahead at the summit, and Sunday’s visit to Motherwell at Fir Park carries two important objectives.
Their immediate aim is to end the losing streak and return to winning form, while the fixture will also provide valuable preparation for Thursday’s challenging Europa League encounter with Benfica in Lisbon.
Motherwell enter the contest with similar concerns after three straight defeats. Setbacks against Rangers, Aberdeen and Dundee have disrupted what had been a promising opening to the campaign for Alfred Johansson’s team.
Nevertheless, a single victory could quickly revive their momentum, and the Steelmen showed last season that they are capable of troubling Celtic.
The meeting in Lanarkshire therefore promises to be an intriguing contest.
