Celtic v Motherwell: Fir Park No.2 Stephen Frail hoping Steelmen can arrest winless run

Stephen Frail says one result can kick Motherwell out of their sticky spell – and hopes it comes against Celtic on Saturday.Frail knows that the Scottish champions will be overwhelming favourites to win the Celtic Park clash, with the Steelmen on a run of nine Premiership games without a win.The Fir Park assistant boss insists his side doesn’t see Celtic as a free hit, adding that they’ll be happy to take a result from Glasgow, however it is achieved.Kevin van Veen scored a sensational goal to earn Motherwell a 1-1 on their last visit to Parkhead on April 22 and Frail would settle for that right now.The Steelmen gave the Hoops a run for their money at Fir Park in September in a dramatic game which saw Luis Palm score in 87 minutes for Celtic before Blair Spittal scored a 95th minute equaliser - only for Matt O'Riley to net for Celtic two minutes later in a 2-1 win.Frail said: “I think the pressure would always be on Celtic or Rangers when they were playing against a provincial club, for want of a better phrase, but we’re not treating it like that.“I know sometimes people look at it and say ‘it’s a free hit, it doesn’t really matter’, but we’re very much of the mind-set that this is our next game, it’s the most important game of the season because it’s the next one, and we need to approach it with that manner.“We can’t approach it in the manner of ‘it doesn’t really matter what happens in this game, we’ll look to the games after that’.
