Toxteth O'Grady

He also mentioned that he's offered new contracts to both Mark Gillespie and Trevor Carson. Bit earlier than normal for us to be doing be doing business like that, no?

Hartley starts, as do both Scott and Long. Edit: no Tait or Caroll either. https://mobile.twitter.com/MotherwellFC/status/1165243687590334464

He was with them last week against Spartans too.

I see Rangers have signed a winger from Manchester City. Hastie even further down the pecking order?

Just noticed this: https://www.hamiltonacciesfc.co.uk/ticket-price-changes/ Ticket Price Changes Ticket prices to home fixtures against Celtic, Motherwell & Rangers will be increased to £25 Adults, £15 concessions & £15 wheelchair/Ambulant supporters. After discussions with our board of directors and recent fan feedback, these prices will be increased for both home & away fans going forward for season 2019/20. Prices for every other fixture will remain at £22 Adults, £12 concessions & £12 wheelchair/Ambulant supporters.

Is there likely to be a long queue for tickets if buying at the stadium on the day?

Wee bit on Seedorf from the BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49059070

I did wonder about this on Saturday... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-49002546

Robinson keen to extend his contract https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/4478413/stephen-robinson-motherwell-contract-talks-new-deal/

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48962956 Not sure why this is under the Celtic section of the BBC football website.

I've just watched SR's interview ahead of the QoS game. It doesn't sound like any more players will be coming in.

Today's BBC gossip.

Standing at Raydale Park on Tuesday night, you've got to wonder if Brooks Mileson ever thought a town the size of Gretna could support a top flight side. I always thought he came across as a decent guy, but I'm guessing he was on a major ego trip with that one.

Today's BBC's gossip:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48803675 David Turnbull backed to reach 'very top' despite collapse of Motherwell to Celtic deal 1 hour ago From the sectionMotherwell David Turnbull will recover from a "rough week" and reach the "very top" despite his move to Celtic collapsing, Motherwell's chief executive says. Celtic reviewed their £3.25m bid for the 19-year-old midfielder after a medical revealed he needed "immediate preventative" knee surgery. Motherwell's Alan Burrows has said on Twitter he has "no idea" whether the player will eventually join Celtic. "The only thing we're concentrating on is getting the boy back fit," he said. "But he's a real strong lad from a great family and he'll bounce back and get his big move in time. It's not the end, just a little delayed." Turnbull's Celtic move collapses Turnbull had agreed a four-year contract with Celtic after also holding talks with Norwich City, who had matched the Scottish champions' transfer offer after their promotion to England's top flight. Motherwell say that, although Celtic were still keen to sign Turnbull following his medical, the Glasgow club revised their offer and the two clubs could not reach agreement. "As I have said all along, he's destined for the very top," Burrows said. "This is but a speed bump for him." Burrows thanked Celtic's medical staff, and physiotherapist Tim Williamson "in particular", for their "great care and sensitivity" and echoed Motherwell's previous statement pointing out they hope to have Turnbull back playing for them once he returns to full fitness. However, asked when that might be, he added: "That's impossible to accurately calculate until he has the operation. "We'll get him back asap, but we won't rush it. Important to be 100% bang on." Turnbull became a first-team regular last season, scoring 15 goals in 31 appearances for the Scottish Premiership side.
