Celtic closed the gap on Hearts to two points at the top of the Scottish Premiership after a 3-1 comeback win over Motherwell at Celtic Park. The Hoops trailed early when Elijah Just scored just before halftime, silencing the home crowd, but Hyun-Jun Yang's brace and a Tomas Cvancara penalty secured the victory. Motherwell played the final 22 minutes with 10 men after Emmanuel Longelo's red card.

Derek McInnes' league leaders face Kilmarnock later Saturday, live on Sky Sports, giving Celtic the chance to temporarily narrow the title race. Motherwell, who dominated possession in the first half, fell apart after Longelo's dismissal. Celtic loanee Stephen Welsh was unavailable against his parent club, with Jens Berthel Askou's side making just one change from their 2-1 loss to Dundee.

The win puts pressure on Hearts and Rangers, who travel to St Mirren on Sunday. Celtic's victory featured a dramatic VAR intervention that overturned a goal kick decision into a penalty, with Cvancara converting from 12 yards. Yang's second goal in the 79th minute sealed the three points and kept Celtic's title hopes alive heading into the final stretch of the season.
