Ex-Rangers keeper says Celtic were too good, but Motherwell move on to Tannadice test

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Goalkeeper Liam Kelly says the quality of Celtic's substitutes alone showed how far ahead they were as they beat his Motherwell side 4-0 on Sunday.But the former Rangers shot-stopper says they just need to take their medicine and regroup for Wednesday's Premiership test against Dundee United at Tannadice.Kelly joked that he felt like going off the pitch himself on Sunday when he saw Nir Bitton, James Forrest, Jota, Matt O'Riley and Josep Juranovic thrown on in the second half.By the time those first two were on the pitch, Celtic were already home and dry at 3-0 up, courtesy of Liel Abada's 28th-minute opener, and a spectacular double from Tom Rogic.

Daizen Maeda added a fourth in the second half to complete a miserable afternoon at Fir Park for fourth-placed Motherwell.But there's no doubt the former Livingston and Queen's Park Rangers star kept the score down on the day.Kelly said: "Celtic are capable of doing that to most teams.

But you like to be in the game."You want to give a better account of yourself but the game was done at half-time, realistically."You have to try and stay in it for as long as you can.

We tried to have a go but they punished us."They were too good for the press we tried to put on. We got caught in between most things."They have top players and they made us pay."It’s not ideal when the players they have on the bench come on.
