We asked you Celtic fans for your views on the 3-1 win over Motherwell. Here's a taste of what you had to say…
Patrick: I cannot remember a more bizarre season for us Celts. The will to win under Martin O’Neill is formidable and just might win us the title. What a manager.
Walter: A great win and not a last minute scramble, for once. I’m so worried about some of these names getting bandied about to replace O’Neill. I really feel he should be offered a new contract, winning is winning and it’s rare that a new manager stays for more than a couple of years anyway. At least Martin won’t get tempted to go and manage some EPL side fighting relegation.
Artie: Ben Arthur and Auston Trusty should form Celtic’s central defence for the remaining eight games. If not, the defensive weakness which has plagued this season will recur. Celtic are the Premiership’s top scorers with 56 goals. There’s no room for passengers in defence or midfield. Go back to basics – score goals and win the league.
Mark: When it gets to this point in the season, it’s all about winning games. If O’Neill can win this title after the Wilfried Nancy fiasco it will be a miracle. Fair play to Motherwell, they are a great footballing side and a breath of fresh air in the Premiership.
Jack: That two goal lead is the first time Celtic fans have felt somewhat comfortable for what feel like months. Our season has been hanging in the balance for a long time now, but the outcome remains the same – we’re still in it.
If we can produce a big win and, more importantly, performance pre-split I think O'Neill might just be erecting his own statue in the east end of Glasgow.
Andy: Great result but had to work for it. Eight more great results needed. It was especially pleasing to see Reo Hatate and Daizen Maeda have a good game. They could be hitting form at just the right time. Hearts losing is a bonus but we must capitalise on it when we meet them.
