Motherwell boss Stuart Kettlewell has praised Celtic, calling them "incredible".

The Steelmen drew 1-1 with the Scottish champions in the recent round of fixtures in what was the first time the Hoops had dropped points in 18 domestic matches.

And Kettlewell had nothing but good things to say about the Hoops.

Speaking on BBC's Scottish Football Podcast: "I think we always knew that this was going to be our sternest test.

"You just look at Celtic’s record, you look at their level of performance.

"I think I spoke about it before the game. It’s just incredible what they have done as a football club.

"The standards they set, the style of football, the energy, the buy-in from the players.

"We could go through every single facet of the game. It has been pretty amazing.

Meanwhile, Celtic hero Martin O'Neill has addressed comparisons drawn between Kyogo Furuhashi and Hoops legend Henrik Larsson.

The Japan international has scored 29 goals for the Scottish champions so far this season, leading to some beginning to compare the two.

And while O'Neill thinks the forward has been a great addition to the Parkhead squad, the Northern Irishman feels Kyogo still has a way to go before he is at the level of the former Champions League winner.

He said: "Henrik Larsson scored a lot of goals. Firstly he scored them in Scotland and there might have been a bit of derision about that but then he scored then he scored them in Europe.

"One of his greatest games ever was in the UEFA Cup final when he scored two goals against a side that went on to win the Champions League.

"So what does he do after that? He goes to Barcelona. I know it was difficult breaking in and being a starter in that side with all the great players around him.

"He makes the difference in the European Cup final and then he goes on aged 33 or 34 and scores goals at Manchester United.

"So much so that one of the great managers of all time (Sir Alex Ferguson) wanted him to stay at the football club.

"That is the sort of thing that Kyogo, hopefully in the course of his career, could end up achieving and that would be great but that is a long way away.

"Let me put it this way, he is on the right path at this moment. He has a lot to do but even to draw some sort of comparison with Larsson shows he is doing okay.

"I am sure the manager (Postecoglou) is delighted with him as I was with Larsson."
