Celtic have picked up another massive three points with a convincing 3-1 win over Motherwell at Paradise, with Martin O’Neill’s men having to battle back from a goal down to claim the victory.

Yang was on fire throughout the course of the afternoon, with the Korean winger’s two goals bookending Tomas Cvancara’s strike from the penalty spot.

For the second game in a row, Liam Scales wore the captain’s armband in Callum McGregor’s absence and, alongside today’s Man of the Match Yang, the Irishman spoke to Celtic TV after today’s win and reflected on a good display from the Hoops.

“It’s a massive win.” Scales win. “They’re a really good side Motherwell, they’ve played really good football this year.

“It’s a big win and we need to win all of our games, so this was a good one.

‘We were unlucky with the goal we conceded, we didn’t give them many more big chances, so it was disciplined defensively.’

“At times you’re going to be without the ball and I thought that we were good out of possession.

“Our attacking players were brilliant with their pressing, and the finishes and the goals were brilliant.”

Yang added: “I’m really happy because it was a really important game.

“We could have scored more, but I’m really happy to have scored two.”
