Celtic look to bounce back after loss to Hibernian
Hoops captain certain side will win against Motherwell today after defeat to Hibs
Celtic captain Scott Brown says the club will look to head into the Scottish Premier League winter break with a victory against Motherwell today.
The Parkhead side's five-game winning run came to an abrupt end on Saturday when Hibernian defeated Neil Lennon's side 1-0 at Easter Road.
The Hoops had been in good form before the loss to the Edinburgh side and still hold a six point lead - with a game in hand - at the top of the SPL table.
Brown hopes the defeat was just a minor blip which they can rectify when third-placed Motherwell visit Parkhead. "Hibs stopped our unbeaten record but we need to get the mentality of winning back when we play at Celtic Park on Wednesday," the Scotland midfielder said.
"Hopefully it will get our confidence back up - we played really well against Hibs, we just didn't have the quality in the last third.
"They scored an early goal and that killed us off. But we had about 75 per cent of the possession in the second half, and had our chances, we just couldn't finish."
The visitors tonight have only lost once in their past nine matches on their charge up the table to third.
