So have we unreneged? Never mind there will be another knicker wetting express along soon.

It always was on TV.That's why it took a week between the draw and fixtures coming out.

Quite ironic that we are whining about playing them more when Mr glib and shameless is announcing it's inevitable they will play somewhere else.

Who could we sign to overwhelm you?

Won their group and ended up with Spain in the knockouts, it's no wonder they might be a bit miffed.

Decent for ROI I suppose,Italy's b side not so good.

Strange game to get caught up in.

Maybe that's to head off the roasters who tweet him on an almost hourly basis to ask if we have signed anyone. The club don't normally sign people and keep it a secret,they probably won't start now.

Fucking raging!

They're all over in benidorm for the 'traditional' 12th celebrations. That'll be why they are not coming.

I normally hate a Monday at work after getting beat by either of the ugly sisters. I'm not looking forward to hearing their shite tomorrow and we've not kicked a fucking ball yet. Thanks for that Motherwell statement writer guy.

Not happening now we are only getting one fistful of blue pounds this season.

It might well have done. Like a lot of people I thought that game signalled the end of our club 'knowing our place' with that lot. A year later we are back on our knees.

Should have gave them the full south stand in the play off and banked the cash instead of acting Billy big baws.

Not entirely true. Aberdeen saw a chance to be relevant again and jumped in Rangers shoes to block some changes. Did the the 10-2 voting structure not change though when the leagues merged?

Just a well he didn't suffer a long term career threatening injury then.

The Board of Motherwell FC wishes to express its extreme anger following the publication of the SPFL Premiership fixtures earlier this morning. Motherwell, along with Partick Thistle and Hamilton Academical, have two home Old Firm games pre-split, whereas some of our closest rivals have four, something that has never happened in the history of the SPL / SPFL, as far as we know. This has a serious financial impact on our club, and we cannot and will not accept it. It creates a significant financial advantage for some clubs over others and in our view, just as important, compromises the integrity of the competition, both in terms of the potential/need for adjusting respective player budgets up or down and the amount of games teams have to play at what has historically been the most challenging venues. In previous seasons since the split, there has always been parity where clubs had the same amount of home games against both Old Firm sides (almost always three) and were expected to travel to both Celtic Park and Ibrox the same amount as every other team in the division prior to the split. There was no hint of this fundamental change until we received the fixtures at 8.02am today and, therefore, like the other clubs in our position, now find ourselves significantly worse off than we were on Thursday night and with insufficient time to make appropriate adjustments. We expect this unacceptable position to be reversed immediately. In addition, whilst having sympathy around the difficulty of selecting games for certain times of the year, Motherwell FC believes having two midweek matches away at both Inverness CT and Ross County (the Inverness trip being three days after Christmas) sends out the wrong message. Where possible, consideration should be given, particularly around the festive period, to the needs of all supporters given we now have two fixtures that will be largely inaccessible for a significant portion of our fan base. Embarrassing.

The fixtures sending Motherwell to Inverness, Hamilton to Aberdeen and Ross county to celtic for a match between Christmas and new year should be the main complaint today. If we are relying on that gang from Govan to balance the books then there have been no lessons learned in the last four years.

There will be a head wind to take into account up there as well.

Ain't that the truth.

Worst thing I've heard since I found out santa wasn't real.

I've heard fuck all and I'm feeling very left out.

Ffs Motherwell sign someone! Ffs Motherwell don't sign him!

Not on here it isn't.Same shit,different close season.
