Celtic 6 - 0 Motherwell, Parkhead
Celtic got their first win of the season in some style this afternoon,
as they dismantled a hapless Motherwell side. Debutant, Figueroa, scored
his first goal for the club, as well as an unlikely brace from defender
John Kennedy and Donati, McGeady and Balde completed the scoring.
It will have been a great
relief for Jonathan Wolstenholme to get his first league win of the
season and the manner of the victory will only have added to his
delight.
