Celtic picked up a 2-1 win over Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership last night and Neil Lennon will be impressed with some of the performances from his players.

The home side managed to close the gap with Rangers to 20 points with the win.

Young centre-back Stephen Welsh certainly made an impression for the home side. He managed to score his first goal for Celtic and put in an assured defensive display.

The reigning champions were in desperate need of a reliable centre-back after Shane Duffy’s abysmal performances this season and it will be interesting to see if Welsh can establish himself as a regular starter in the coming weeks.

The young defender seems calm and composed in pressure situations and he showed yesterday that he can chip in with vital goals as well. His display will have given the youngster a lot of confidence.

Welsh is still only 21 and there is a lot of room for improvement. He is likely to get better with coaching and experience.

Some Celtic fans were really impressed with Welsh’s performance and here is what they had to say on social media.
