The 2021-22 Scottish Premiership campaign concludes this weekend and will see Celtic host Motherwell at Celtic Park on Saturday afternoon in the final round of the Scottish top-flight.

Celtic were crowned champions on Wednesday after playing out a 1-1 draw against Dundee United. Needing just a point to seal the league title, Giorgos Giakoumakis opened the scoring for the Celts with a close-range header before their opponents leveled the scores midway through the second half.

Ange Postecoglou's men have picked up 90 points from 37 games so far and will now be looking to end the season with a win in front of their home fans.

Motherwell confirmed European football with a 2-1 win over Hearts on Wednesday night. Josh Efford's early opener lasted just six minutes before Rickie Lamie scored the winner in the second half with his third league strike of the season.

The Steelmen sit fourth in the table, with 46 points from 37 games. They will be looking to close out the season on a positive note.

Celtic vs Motherwell Prediction

Celtic are on a 31-game unbeaten run in the Scottish Premiership and are undefeated on home turf in the competition this season. They are clear favorites for the weekend clash as they have won their last 11 games against Motherwell and are unbeaten in their last 20.

The visitors are on a run of back-to-back victories and last won three straight games on the bounce back in August last year. Saturday's game should see the hosts pick up all three points.

Prediction: Celtic 3-1 Motherwell
