Well I think we can kiss goodbye to Stephen Welsh. Tierney off injured again and Trusty sent off. maybe it’s for the best we look at a permanent signing anyway

Playing him against a junior side and then taking him off (when he was their best defender) after 60mins did strike me as being quite petty. you never know though and we don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes. Maybe he’s not been giving a toss in training and made his feelings known he wasn’t happy at being recalled. Who knows?

He is a Celtic player at the end of the day and they can do what they want with him but it must leave a bad taste is his mouth. He’s been doing really well with us, enjoying his football and has actively tried to move on and get games instead of being content sitting on the bench and picking up a wage. He’s now recalled to sit in his house and watch the game on his telly. Just seems petty from Celtic. in some ways it might end up good for us as he may have a bit extra between his teeth to do well if he comes back to us.

Still no Welsh in the Celtic squad.

I’m not sure what everyone else thinks but I think Sam Nicholson will be like a brand new player when he gets back fit. There’s been real positive comments from Jens about what he’s seen so far from him in the training and what he’s doing. I always thought he looked a talented player but didn’t suit the Kettlewell approach but I think he’ll slide in to our style of football really well. with him coming back, Watt getting back I just think we need a defender in the January window to make this special season even more special.

I’m hoping with no games at fir park until the rangers game that the groundsmen manage to get it back in good nic. It’s the worst I’ve seen it in a few years, weather hasn’t been great for it though.

Might have missed it earlier but was there any reason for McGhee missing today

Neil McCann saying Killie were the better side up until the sending off and the poor refereeing decisions against them has made me feel even better about the mauling we gave them.

Difficult to pick one player.i thought Just was exceptional and Slattery, fadinger and Said were great (I get so much pleasure watching Said…. Makes me laugh every single game…. Absolute joy of a wee guy) but went for Priestman who is getting more impressive and more classy with every game. So cool on the ball. and on a side note, the boy MCColm come on and looked great.

Football with a purpose!! joyous seeing Billy Dodds waddle down the tunnel 5 ahead of Hibs and sitting pretty. A Dundee win and a draw with hearts and Celtic is what I’ve ordered for tomorrow

Well we’ve not been brilliant but we do look like we could score every time we get up the park. Kilmarnock giving off St Mirren vibes with the two big awkward forwards would love a couple more.Just, Priestman, Slattery and Said have been good. Sparrow has done brilliant too. and it has to be said, Polworth is still one of the biggest bellends in Scottish football. An absolute con of a player. Every new manager sticks him directly into the team (cos he can actually play)and then after a month drop him when they realise what he’s about.

My best case scenario today is being 2-0 up at 60mins and big Thor coming on and him getting a goal. worst- that Fat time bandit Dodds smiling at us in the main stand after a draw or worse …..a narrow killie win.

We’ve not lost a goal at home since the Falkirk game on the 18th of October. Thats an unbelievable stat considering we are Motherwell. And it’s unbelievable I hadnt thought about this until today. hopefully tomorrow will extend that stat

I don’t ever remember being as engaged with a Motherwell manager when he does his press conferences. Even our previous managers who had a wee bit of a personality (I think we’ve had a couple ) I wouldn’t have dreamt of sitting listening to their 10min presser. lovely to hear his resoluteness about how we don’t need to sell and his building of a better team and adding players. The guy is impeccable.

Welsh not even in the squad for Celtics game tonight.
