MOTHERWELL manager Stephen Robinson insists his side have nothing to fear when they attempt to beat Celtic for the first time in 14 outings on Sunday.
The Steelmen head to Parkhead brimming with confidence having won their last six Premiership matches and climbing to within two points of the top six.
The Fir Park outfit have not taken three points off the Hoops since a Louis Moult brace stunned the Bhoys in a 2-1 victory in December 2015.

But with the likes of teenage pair Jake Hastie and David Turnbull enjoying a rich vein of form - the former scoring five goals in his last six games, Robinson insists his team believe they can inflict only a fifth league defeat on Celtic.
Robinson said: “We’ve nothing to fear and we’ve nothing to lose at all. Celtic are a top top team and the best side in the league by a long way.
“On their day they’re hard to play against but we’ll go in with an abundance of confidence and the young players have no fear - it’s like they’re going out to play in the park - and we’ll take the game to them.”
Speaking to Motherwell TV, Robinson, whose side take on Kilmarnock next Wednesday, added: “We’ve got two tough games and we won’t get too carried away.
“We’re along way away and still developing.”
