Luke McCowan also scored on his first start as the champions went back top of the William Hill Premiership.
Motherwell had centre-back Liam Gordon receive a VAR-assisted red card in stoppage time to round off their misery. The Celtic boss went into this game without captain Callum McGregor, who missed out with a hip strain, while Nicolas Kuhn and Arne Engels dropped to the bench. Miller also twice threatened from back-post headers and set up Sparrow with a backheel. The former Stoke player drove his shot straight into the body of Schmeichel.
Referee David Dickinson had no idea what to give and allowed video assistant Alan Muir to make the call. There were suspicions of a push from Stephen O’Donnell on Maeda but the final call was a free-kick to Motherwell for handball against the Japan forward. Reo Hatate came close on several occasions, Oxborough made a triple save, two of which came from McCowan shots, and Idah hit the post before turning home fellow substitute Kuhn’s low cross from six yards in the 88th minute.
