Brendan Rodgers’ side are top of the table after collecting 16 points from 18 available thus far – winning all but one of their opening six matches with a goalless draw at home to St Johnstone on August 26 the only blot on the report card thus far.

The defending champions face a Motherwell side who have lost their last two matches – away to Rangers and home to St Mirren – to drop down to fourth in the standings after an impressive start to the season that saw them pick up three victories and a draw in their first four games.

The Steelmen were impressive in their 1-0 defeat at Ibrox last weekend – such was their dominance that Rangers were booed off the park by their own fans despite the victory – and manager Stuart Kettlewell will hope for a similar performance but a better outcome against the league leaders at Fir Park.
