Scotland: Celtic thrash Motherwell in League Cup

Motherwell 0 -  4 Celtic

It was a very comfortable night for Celtic.

Celtic cruised through to the semi-finals of the Scottish League Cup and a meeting with Kilmarnock after Liel Abada's double helped them thrash Motherwell.

Abada tapped home Greg Taylor's cross moments before the break, and then stuck a side-foot volley past goalkeeper Liam Kelly after it.

The Israeli winger then turned provider for Reo Hatate, before his shot off a post fell to Kyogo Furuhashi to tap home Celtic's fourth, as they eased into the last four.

Ange Postecoglou's side will face Kilmarnock at Hampden on the weekend of 14-15 January. They are seeking a seventh League Cup success in nine seasons. Rangers will meet Aberdeen in the other semi-final. The Ibrox club had a nervy evening but progressed 1-0 against Dundee. 

Fan reaction 

One Celtic fan told us: "Regardless of who we have played, ten goals in two games is a great achievement. Onwards!"

Another tweeted: "Too strong for them. I'm buzzing for Kyogo, hopefully he goes on a run now that he got that crucial goal."
