Rangers in administration: Ally McCoist needs good a support mechanism, says Neil Lennon You know you have gone through the rough times as well. The one person you have to prove something to every day is yourself. If you take your eye of the ball things can change very quickly and I obviously don't want that malaise to sweep through the club. You keep pushing the players on and that comes from me and my backroom staff. A Celtic win today would extend the gap at the top to 23 points but Motherwell are not likely to attempt the deep defence employed by Dunfermline in their 2-0 midweek defeat at Parkhead. "You have got to maybe set out in a way where you try to get the first goal," said Stuart McCall, the Motherwell manager, whose side have stayed the course better than most observers expected. In all the games we've played against them I don't think we have given them too many problems defensively and we'll maybe look at trying to do that a little bit more. It was with a win at Fir Park at the start of November that Celtic began the run of 19 successive domestic victories that has brought them - with a little help from Rangers" automatic points deduction - to an almost unassailable position in the table. Today Lennon may have to do without Scott Brown because of a groin strain, but such is Celtic's current strength that the captain's injury is likely to cause greater consternation for Craig Levein, who had named him in the Scotland squad for next week's friendly in Slovenia. St Mirren defender Darren McGregor has signed a two-year contract extension. The 26-year-old centre-back has committed himself to the club until the summer of 2014.
