Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic went ahead in the first minute of Sunday's contest at Fir Park, whಌer🐷e Daizen Maeda headed home after just 49 seconds.

Luke Armstrong equalised for Motherwell in the 23rd minute, yet Celtic swiftly reasserted their dominance through Adam Id𒅌ah's third goal in the space of two games across all competitions. 

VAR sp♔ared Tom Sparrow's blushes as his own goal was ruled out for Idah straying offside earlier in the move, before Nicolas Kuhn was denied by the assistant's flag after dispatching a brilliant overhe꧙ad kick.

Yet Jota, who re-joined Celtic from Rennes earlier this week, was on hand to add further gloss l🐠ate on, finishing f💛rom close range after being picked out by Maeda in the box. 

The win keeps Celtic 10𓂃 points clear of Rangers, who contin💜ued their fine form with a 4-0 rout of Ross County at Ibrox.

Ianis Hagi helped himself to🍸 a quickfire double before John Souttar made it 3-0 in the 36th minute.

James Tavernier added a fourth from the p💜enalty spot deep in the🍎 second half.

Rangers have now won each of their last 11 home leaꦺgue games against Ross County byജ an aggregate score of 38-6, since a 1-1 draw in February 2017.

"I'm quite happy, and you see what we've be📖en saying for the last mon🍰ths," said Rangers boss Philippe Clement.

"This team is growing, als🦩o in depth with the whole squad that everybody starts to understand better the patterns, the way of playing, with and without the ball𒁃."
