Player to Watch: Kyogo Furuhashi
Since we can see this being a convincing win for Celtic and taking into account that Kyogo Furuhashi is the top scorer not just for his team, but also in the entire league, he is our player to watch in this game.
The Japanese forward managed to score twenty three goals in thirty appearances for Celtic this season in Premiership, so Motherwell has to try and stop him, no matter how hard that clearly is.
