Toxteth O'Grady

Gillespie apparently has a dead leg

So when can we expect these to be announced?

Care to expand on that?

I've only got the two Irn Bru cup games earlier in the season to compare them to, but the team definitely appear to have regressed since then based on the evidence of tonight. I get that it is difficult to be overly critical of such a young side though. I agree it was disappointing we didn't really change to a more attacking formation after going behind.

I'm old enough to remember us playing a reserve cup final against Celtic at Fir Park in the late 80s, so it has definitely happened before. The only explanation I can think of is they think they will get a bigger attendance if they play it at the home ground of one of the teams taking part(???) Does seem unfair, but I will be going regardless.

I emailed Hearts to ask about this... "Both sets of fans will be located in the Main Stand but segregation will be in place. We have sent tickets to Motherwell to sell."

So the Reserve League Cup final against Hearts will be played at, er, Tynecastle... https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2019/03/15/reserve-league-cup-final-set-for-tynecastle

Same team as last week. Dougie Imrie injured?

Any possibility of playing it on Saturday?

Shaun Hutchinson has just equalised for Millwall against Hull.

Full time

4-1

3-1 game over

Unsurprisingly, James Scott has been substituted. Sammon on.

2-1

That'll be that then!

When was the last time we kept the same strips for two seasons in a row?

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stats-show-celtic-motherwell-currently-14014348 Bit of a pointless article. What was it Ebbe Skovdahl once said about statistics?

Team picks itself at the moment. I'm guessing this will be one of these threads where everyone is confident of a victory, which always makes me slightly nervous. 2-0 Motherwell

The ones at Avon Street are away, but you are still down to one lane (briefly) further down, not far from the junction with Tinkers Lane.

Edit - beaten to it too.
