Having met in the League Cup just three days earlier, Celtic and Motherwell faced off again at Fir Park, this time in the League. Motherwell were out for revenge after their League Cup exit and only 4 minutes in they were ahead, through ex-Celt Tommy Coyne. Craig Burley equalised just before the hour mark, only for Coyne to put Motherwell back in front within 2 minutes. But the game turned in Celtic's favour only a few minutes later when Motherwell were reduced to 10 men - Greg Denham being shown the red card. Burley grabbed a second with a fine shot into the top corner of the net and Simon Donnelly's arse scores the winner with just 9 mintues remaining.
With Rangers only managing a draw at home to Aberdeen, Celtic's comeback allowed Wim Jansen's team to claw back two of the points they had dropped in their opening 2 games.
