Olivier Ntcham and Leigh Griffiths are in Celtic’s starting XI at Fir Park with Ryan Christie and Odsonne Edouard on the bench.
Lewis Morgan and Boli Bolingoli retain their places despite a tough night in Cluj while Christopher Jullien and Nir Bitton team up in central defence with Hatem Abd Elhamed injured and Jozo Simunovic suspended. January signings Marian Shved and Vakouon Bayo are among the substitutes alongwith Scott Sinclair.
After last week’s convincing 7-0 win over St Johnstone the hoops will be looking for another statement of intent before next week’s break from SPFL action to take on Dunfermline in the Betfred Cup.
Motherwell go into today’s match on the back of four straight victories in the Betfred Cup but last week they opened their league programme with a 0-0 draw on the plastic of Livingston.
