Andy Halliday is predicting a "cracker" of a game when Motherwell visit Parkhead on Saturday and says Celtic's defensive display against Rangers last weekend was an "anomaly".
Celtic managed just one shot throughout the 120 minutes at Ibrox but still progressed to the Scottish Cup semi-final with a penalty shootout victory.
But Motherwell midfielder Halliday is braced for a much more attacking performance when the Steelmen head to the home of the reigning champions.
Speaking on the BBC’s Scottish Football Podcast, he said: “I think last week was an anomaly. I’ve not really seen Celtic play that style, domestically, for as long as I can remember.
"You've got to give them credit for it because it resulted in them getting the job done, winning the penalty shootout and getting through to the next round.
"I'd imagine the injuries played their part. Callum McGregor is such a huge part of what Celtic do on the ball.
"There's still huge question marks, regardless of injuries, about what Martin O'Neill's best team could possibly be.
"I can't see that being the case at Celtic Park. I think they'll have a gameplan to try to dominate the way they can and impose their style of play on Motherwell.
"That being said, Motherwell will have the exact same approach so I think it's going to be a cracker for everyone to watch."
