He'll probably play a blinder.  That said, I think he was overrated and made out to be something he's not. I always thought he was Aberdeen/Hearts/Hibs level, not English Championsip. His attitude and work ethic was second to none.  What ever status he achieves in the game he'll have worked hard for it and will have deserved it. However, talent wise he is limited; not bad but limited. He had great spells with us but also spells where he was anonymous. Great defensively and very useful in a midfield battle, but not so good in the final third. We could use his qualities right now though.

I'm probably in a minority of one here and will put on my bassinet now!

 

I think what you say is fair and reasonable and I too always felt he had a limit on his football ability. However, I always felt he made the most of the attributes he did have and always worked his socks off when he played for us.

I always felt he would be best used as a defence protecting midfielder, operating in the spaces between defence and midfield. And like you, I’d have him back.

Totally agree I thought he was overrated when he was with us. Hes not a bad player but nowhere near as good as some Motherwell fans would have you believe. I watched him against Kilmarnock and frankly he did fuck all of note. That said he wont need to reach any heights to dominate our midfield.

I hope he does a big knee slide right in front of the Bois just to see the seethe on here.

I have zero issues with any player celebrating a goal, regardless of who he used to play for. It's one of the joys of any footballers' career.

Hope not.

Id have to tear a piece of my clothing.

I’m with you on that point. I kinda get the Dennis Law goal but for the most part I’m ok with them celebrating as Long as it’s not a GIRUY celebration. Not as if the ‘well fans will be muting any celebrations if we score ‘cause Campbell is in their team !!

If a former player scores and celebrates with own fans it doesn't bother me. They pay their wages.

The best celebrations of a player scoring against former club was adebayor sprinting whole length of pitch to goad arsenal fans and Craig beattie scoring for hearts v sellik and running behind goal with top off.....classics 🤣🤣

Didn't Kevin Twaddle do a similar GIRUY along the East Stand after he scored for Hearts 😀

The one I always remember is Karl Higgingbottom for Partick Thistle. Not really sure what that was all about. Dont remember him getting that much of a hard time when he was our player......

Think it was more to do with the hard time he got after he signed for Thistle and of course during that game.

Hope not as that would be abuse and that is something our previous manager never done to officials 🤪🤪🤪

 Kettlewell wasn't perfect but some people seem to be breaking their neck to suggest he wasn't abused 

I personally don't think him getting irate at officials justifies the abuse he got from a section of our fans 

I was in the pod stand last Saturday and a couple of fans screamed abuse at players for the majority of the game.
