'Well should want to win but we're the same' - McGregor

Celtic captain Callum McGregor believes it is only natural that Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou is looking for a victory over his side. The Fir Park boss has not been shy in expressing his desire to earn the Lanarkshire club a first win at Celtic Park since 2015. Well sit fourth in the Premiership table, having not lost a match this season with their unbeaten run stretching back 14 games.

Celtic captain Callum McGregor believes it is only natural that Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou is looking for a victory over his side.

The Fir Park boss has not been shy in expressing his desire to earn the Lanarkshire club a first win at Celtic Park since 2015.

Well sit fourth in the Premiership table, having not lost a match this season with their unbeaten run stretching back 14 games.

Meanwhile, Celtic lie six points ahead in second. Brendan Rodgers' side have failed to score in their past two matches - a goalless draw with Hibernian and a Europa League defeat to Braga.

"I think every manager and every team and every player, when they turn up to a game at the weekend, they want to win," the 32-year-old midfielder said.

"If he said anything different, then you'd probably question that. We're the same. We turn up, we want to win, we want to play good football. Let's see what kind of match we get on Sunday.

"They've started the season really well. I watched them in the first game of the season. Really committing, trying to play the right way. It's good to see that and they've had good success with it as well.

"For sure, they'll come here on Sunday and they'll try to play, which then gives us an opportunity to be aggressive on the pressure and try to implement our style into the game."
