Celtic Triumphs Over Motherwell with Jota's Emotional Return

2025-02-11

Celtic secured a 3-1 victory over Motherwell in a Scottish Premiership clash at Fir Park, with Jota marking his return to the Hoops with an emotional goal. The match saw Celtic dominate proceedings, with Adam Idah and Daizen Maeda also finding the net, while Luke Armstrong scored a consolation for the hosts.

The game began with Celtic asserting their authority early on. Maeda opened the scoring, showcasing his relentless work rate and precision. Motherwell responded with Armstrong levelling the score, but Idah restored Celtic’s lead before half-time with a well-taken goal. The second half saw Jota, making his second debut for Celtic after returning from a stint in Saudi Arabia, seal the victory with a late tap-in. The Portuguese winger was visibly emotional, shedding tears of joy as he celebrated with the fans.

Brendan Rodgers’ side displayed their attacking prowess, with Idah and Maeda particularly impressive. Jota’s return added a spark, and his goal capped off a memorable performance. Motherwell, under interim manager Stephen Frail following Stuart Kettlewell’s resignation, struggled to contain Celtic’s relentless pressure.

The win keeps Celtic firmly in control of their domestic campaign as they continue their pursuit of another treble. Meanwhile, Motherwell’s search for stability continues as they look to regroup after a turbulent period.
