Motherwell boss dismisses ‘ridiculous’ talk Celtic are in crisis after poor run

Motherwell manager Alfred Johansson has rejected claims that Celtic are in crisis ahead of their meeting at Fir Park. Despite losing three consecutive matches across all competitions under Martin O'Neill, Celtic remain top of the Premiership table, leading rivals Rangers by two points. Johansson dismissed the criticism as ridiculous, emphasizing the defending champions' statistical dominance and overall squad quality.

Motherwell also enter Sunday's clash following three straight league defeats against Rangers, Aberdeen, and Dundee. Johansson confirmed no new injuries from the international break, though defender Dylan Williams remains sidelined with a hamstring issue and forward Regan Charles-Cook will not be ready in time to face Celtic.
