Celtic manager Martin O'Neill tells BBC Scotland: "It's a big win, and to come from behind and play in the matter that we did. Naturally, I'm delighted with the performance.
"Where it comes in the scheme of things, I genuinely don't know. But today, to play against Motherwell, who are a fine, fine footballing team, and fight back with all the things that were mounting up for us, like injuries, the team have found spirit.
"But spirit alone won't do it for you and they played brilliantly. That's a delight.
"I think for a neutral, not that I am one, I think it was a great game of football.
"We've had that hectic schedule, which was big, and we've come through that. When I was looking at it, when the Aberdeen game was rescheduled in there, I thought we would do well to get through it but they've done that with flying colours.
"From Sunday we've had a free midweek which gave the players a wee bit of a rest but I thought they through tiredness aside, thought 'We've got to get through this game' and they've pulled it off today."
