"Goals from Ibrahim Said and Elliot Watt either side of the break saw Motherwell earn all three points at Fir Park and move within five points of their counterparts. It was the first time Celtic had lost to Motherwell since December 2015, going unbeaten in their previous 35 meetings in all competitions (W30 D5) and winning their last 11 away from home before this defeat."
"We want to keep going, but this was a stop. This stop is going to allow us to be better collectively. The message is getting across, but we faced adversity today and that is the reality, after that comes a bit of doubt. I believe I saw good stuff, to press in the good moment and defend in the good moment. Now it is time to get better and keep working because it is the only thing we can control."
Celtic lost 2-0 at Motherwell with goals from Ibrahim Said and Elliot Watt either side of the break.

Nancy said he saw positive moments in pressing and defending and insisted the team must keep working, as effort is the only controllable factor.
