Great job guys.

Actually expect it to be a tight game. We haven't olayed too badly up there in recent times. A hard fought 1 - 1.

Bobby Graham Willie Pettigrew Brian McLair Gary McAllister Davie Cooper Ian St. John Off the top of my head. All Lanarkshire born who made an impact at Motherwell and beyond.

Mascots is it? I'll gie ye mascots. All we needed was Tainted Love belting out over the Tannoy before kick off and trying to guess the teams in the half time scores: "A nil nil, B one nil, C two one"

Kennedy was out long term due to illness and apparently lost a lot of weight. A couple of weeks ago McGhee said he was back in training, but not close to fitness.

Based on his comments last week about Cathro never showing up for the UEFA Coaching Badge classes, seems that there must be some history there.

TV money is being bumped up next season too, apparently. Never good to be relegated, but this season would be more financially significant than most.

As I said elsewhere I'd sell to anyone but Rangers. They are too big of a credit risk unless we get full fee in cash up front before the player is signed.

Yes, a discount for early pay off was also mentioned.

I think they were planning to put the Q&A on Periscope so I expect the link for that will be on Twitter nearer the time.

Would be funny if Cadden was this mysterious world class midfielder Rangers keep talking about. No deal for them unless they hand over the full transfer fee in cash up front.

He was a bit unlucky as he came in to fill the gap from selling Porter (who had hit top form by then) but he was highly rated by Celtic at the time and seemed decent enough.

He had also played a few times in the Champions League for Celtic before he joined us, including a start against Man Utd. But I think that ship has sailed.

Would make for a tasty midfield.

We got transfer income from Pearson, Johnson and Hall - unless someone arrives with stupid money, I don't think we'll need to sell any more players this season.

We need backup for Moult and McDonald so I doubt we'd punt both Blyth and Bowman even if we also dip into the U20s for cover.

Aye. Celtic are a very good team, but it's unlikely they will finish the season unbeaten - so it might as well be us that beats them.

True. Unless he was hoping Thomas might fill that gap. But even then, we'd need another lefty for cover.

He was presumably brought in as a option to replace Johnson in the attacking left mid position, but obviously doesn't fit the bill for whatever reason.

What did McGhee say that has upset people?

I thought it was their regular keeper that played (Godden maybe), but I could be way off the mark there.

Also, given the injuries and the start/stop nature of the league so far it's been difficult for the new guys to esablish any sort of consistency. He has also given some of the U20s game time, so difficult to complain about that. Like you say, though, 50% would be a good return for most managers in any league.

Aye, Wullie P's advantage was he was a yard quicker off the mark than the defenders he played against. Cunningham and Regis had the physique of Olympic sprinters and the speed to match. I still think Cyrille could have given his cousin John a run for his money, never mind Pettigrew.

WBA were excellent and, to make things worse, we played mince. I suspect, as was normal in those days, Motherwell were expecting a bit of a kickabout exhibition game whereas WBA seemed to approach it like a cup final and took us to the cleaners. Felt bad for Joe Wark as he was never at the races. I also remember Willie Johnson made a returning cameo appearance after his expulsion from the World Cup.

Only consolation is that when we won the Cup last time, we had never beaten Aberdeen in an SPL game at Pittodrie.
