Rangers host Hearts on Saturday meaning Celtic could remarkably go into this clash an astonishing five points behind.

It's been an incredible plummet from Brendan Rodgers' side and one their supporters seen coming.

Many probably foresaw disaster last weekend when Kilmarnock equalised in stoppage time through David Watson before booing off the home side.

They probably didn't see Joe Hart opting to wait until now to announce he'll be retiring at the end of the season.

In the end last week, they might see it as a vital point with Killie pushing for all three, though right now they won't think it.

Another slip-up is out of the equation and a win is a must at a ground they've had great success at.

The Hoops have won the last seven meetings between the sides at Fir Park.

Motherwell are unbeaten in their last four games at home, though do only have one win from their last six.

They sit ninth going into the weekend - six points off the top six and seven clear of the relegation play off spot.

That recent record in this fixture speaks for itself, despite Celtic's troubles at the minute.

Motherwell aren't in great shape themselves at the minute so we sense defeat is heading their way.

But that current Celtic defence and soon-to-be-retired Hart are a shadow of great Celtic back lines and are there to be got at.

Not quite been the same player since those reports linking him with Atletico Madrid surfaced in January.

Not scored since January 2 but is relied upon to play every minute in the Hoops midfield.

Scored 97th minute winner at Fir Park earlier this season.
