Anthony Ralston and Mikey Johnston have both posted on Twitter after helping Celtic earn a comfortable 3-0 win over Motherwell at Parkhead on Wednesday night.

The Hoops returned to the top of the Scottish Premiership with the win as Rangers failed to beat Hibernian away from home at Easter Road – missing chance after chance to draw 0-0.

Both Ralston and Johnston scored their first goals for the club, with right-back Ralston opening the scoring with a neat finish through Mark Gillespie’s legs after excellent work from striker Odsonne Edouard.

Scott Sinclair scored a penalty before Johnston picked up the ball 20 yards out and hit one off the bar, dumbfounding Gillespie to make it three. Both Ralston and Johnston reacted on Twitter after the match.

Indeed, captain Scott Brown clocked up his 500th appearance for Celtic, though his future with the Scottish champions remains in doubt as he is yet to sign a new deal at Parkhead.

Celtic play host to Dundee on Saturday before a difficult trip to Aberdeen next Wednesday. Then, they go up against Old Firm rivals Rangers in the second Glasgow derby of the season.
