52' | 2-1GOAL! 'Well get one back, albeit through unusual circumstances. Celtic expect the ball back to them but Scott plays on and Ariyibi fires into the net.#MFCLive— Motherwell FC (@MotherwellFC) February 24, 2019His shot was saved by Scott Bain but Ariyibi fired in the follow up to make it 2-1.Players from both sides pushed and shoved amid loud boos which rained down from the stands.Although there is nothing in the rules to prevent what Motherwell did, many fans on Twitter criticised the move as poor sportsmanship.It did not impact the overall result, though, as Brendan Rodgers side went on to win 4-1. Scott Sinclair and Odsonne Edouard opened the scoring in the first half to put Celtic ahead.Edouard got his second two minutes from time before a fourth was scored by Oliver Burke.Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers said: The goal is so disappointing. Referees get a lot of stick up here and a lot of criticism, but today its about players… Okay, they make a mistake, but Motherwell have a chance to rectify that and dont.Here is what Twitter had to say on social media after the incident.
Justice done at Celtic… Very poor sportsmanship from Motherwell for their goal… Motherwell got what they deserved…— Chris Sutton (@chris_sutton73) February 24, 2019

Shocking sportsmanship— Daniel mcclafferty (@Danielmcclaffe4) February 24, 2019
Celtic kicked the ball out of play cos Christie pulled his hamstring. Celtic waiting for Hendry to be subbed on, Motherwell took a throw in and ran up and scored instead of giving the ball back. Motherwell playing within the rules but never seen anything like it !— Michael McGinley (@mickmcginley1) February 24, 2019
Absolutely terrible sportsmanship form @MotherwellFC you should be ashamed of yourself! #CELMOT @CelticFC— Ronnie Main (@TheBoldRj) February 24, 2019
Motherwell score but Celtic are furious as they refused to give the ball back to Bain and instead go on the attack after injury to Christie. Shocking unsportsmanship like conduct from them.— Andy Muirhead (@andymuirhd) February 24, 2019
Celtic player was injured, Celtic in control of the ball, really poor sportsmanship— Gary Docherty (@garydoc777) February 24, 2019
Fair goal from Motherwell , just bad sportsmanship. Shows up Scottish football again, wouldnt see that in England #Celtic #celticvmotherwell— Oliver (@OliverMcl1967) February 24, 2019
Celtic had the ball under control in their own half… It's not like we put it out when Motherwell were pressing…. Bad sportsmanship from them and I expect Robinson to be embarrassed by that @ClydeSSB— Tony CFC (@Green_Hoops67) February 24, 2019
