For the best part of three minutes all was fine and dandy for the home fans at Fir Park as they celebrated a stoppage time equaliser from Blair Spittal.
On the park they spilled to celebrate the joy of denying Celtic two points, then returned to their section to taunt the away support through to the final whistle from Willie Collum.
Callum McGregor’s pass to Nat Phillips was quickly sent left to Greg Taylor, a pinpoint cross towards the back post found Matt O’Riley perfectly placed to shoot past Liam Kelly and suddenly the home fans fell silent.
“Can you hear the Celtic sing”

An incredible roar went up from the away support, even in this day and age there was no possible VAR decision to be made as O’Riley made it four wins out of four for Celtic on the road.
The hoops return to home soil for two matches in a week before the international break, taking on Lazio and Kilmarnock.
After that there is a very testing schedule of Hearts and Hibs away either side of taking on Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
For Motherwell it is on to Livingston on Saturday as they try to break a run of three consecutive defeats in the SPFL.
The Celtic have been singing loudly and proudly since 1888 as Scotland’s most successful football club…
It’s been a wee while since I’ve heard The Motherwell sing – 1991 in fact…
Although it certainly was a fantastic final that they won –
And how I wish I was as slim as I was around ma 21st birthday back then !
The Lanarkshire mini huns should really know better, but being a bunch of stupid cnuts that will never happen.
It’s just so satisfying and funny to see them make arses of themselves time after time.
