McGhee hails victory over Celtic

Motherwell manager Mark McGhee
McGhee said his side were due some luck against the Old Firm

Motherwell manager Mark McGhee said he was delighted after watching his 10-man side defeat SPL champions Celtic.

"We scored our goal against the run of play and we started the game poorly. No-one seemed to know who was picking up who in midfield," he told BBC Sport.

"It looked like it was a matter of time before Celtic scored, but then we scored and it was a bonus.

"They threw a lot at us in the second half but even with 10 men I thought we looked fairly solid."

McGhee said he had told his players they would enjoy a change of luck and beat the Old Firm at some stage of the season.

"We haven't done badly against them. Today I thought we were maybe a little bit fortunate to get all three points," he said.

"But we worked hard for those points."
