Elliot Watt described Motherwell's win over Celtic as "huge" but the midfielder wasn't surprised by it.
Jens Berthel Askou's side ran out deserved 2-0 winners for their first victory over Celtic in 10 years.

The Steelmen have already taken points off Hearts and Rangers, both ending in draws, but Watt felt a victory against one of the top teams was the only thing missing from their brilliant start to the season.
"It feels as though it's been coming against the big sides," the 25-year-old told BBC Scotland.
"We've been really frustrated this season that we maybe haven't got the points our performances deserved against the so-called bigger clubs and especially off the back of the last result at Ibrox were it felt as though we at least deserved something out of the game.
"So it was huge bouncing back and showing our mentality and our quality."

Watt scored Motherwell's second goal at Fir Park on Tuesday night and admits manager Askou must take a lot of the credit for their superb display against Celtic.
"Believe it or not, we didn't really work on anything in the final third," he added.
"It was the tactical tweaks the manager wanted to implement that he felt could get us the result.
"The manager's incredible. He sees things that many of us don't. The few tactical tweaks he's made in certain games this season have ultimately led to the results that we wanted. He's seen it and the players ultimately have to go out and deliver.
"We know we've got real good quality and strength and depth within the changing room and we've just got to keep proving that."
