Never saw it myself , but according to a couple of my Rangers supporting mates , their 2nd half display tonight was shocking . Players allegedly tired and increasingly nervous and desperate as game wore on . Hopefully this will give us an advantage at the weekend . With a near full squad to choose from , if McCall gets his tactics and formation right and the defence perform as they have been doing , we might just get ourselves a result . The lack of depth in their squad defensively , along with potential fatigue , adds weight to the argument to keep Forbes in the side as well as bringing back Las . Possibly use Jenno in a holding role , with those two in the middle , then if all going according to plan , bring Humphrey on for last 20 or 30 mins to take advantage of weary legs .

Don't think there will be a reserve game tomorrow , Fringes . They had one yesterday , beat Raith Rovers 3-2 .

I would be inclined to go with Las back in at the expense of Humphrey for this one . His dig and commitment will be vital in the middle , and while I think some of the critiscism of the Hump is a bit ott , I don't think Papac is someone he's had much change out of in the last couple of encounters with Rangers , so feel he could come on in the later stages and use his pace to advantage when some legs in their back line are starting to tire . Defence is definitely their weak point at the moment with the loss of Bougherra , and with Weir and possibly Bartley out for another couple of weeks . The new guy Goian looked decent for them against Inverness , but with some direct running from Law and Murph , we are certainly capable of causing them problems . If our back four can continue their solid start to the season I see it being a good contest , and being realistic I would be delighted with a share of the spoils .

Wasn't at game yesterday , but between listening online and reading some of the comments in this thread , really pleased to see the much lambasted Forbes had a good game . But what happens next week ? Does he get dropped to make way for Las , or does someone else make way ? Don't see McCall starting against Rangers without Lasley , so interesting to see if Forbes drops back out after a good display , or if someone like Humphrey , who has been abit off the boil lately , makes way and we change shape a bit .

YES ! All over , still top of the league , bring on the Rangers !!!!

Todays team , as posted above by Yabba , with the exception of Forbes being in place of Las , is pretty much what I would consider our full strength starting 11 . If we can get in about them early and disrupt the new found passing style they allege to have found , I think we could get a result today . Tight game with the odd goal in 3 deciding it . Higdon to net the winner and sicken the feckers ! Mon the Well !

The main thing I would do would be to fund a state of the art stadium of around 10,000 capacity , preferably at FP , rather than a move to Ravenscraig or wherever . Picking up on the smallprint in Kamikaze Bob's post , I rather like the idea of my only proviso being a penthouse flat in one corner with a balcony opening out onto the park , a la carlsberg advert of a few years ago . I would also give a lump sum of , say £10m , to be split equally between youth development and first team affairs . I would then retreat to my hefner-esque mansion full of nubile young women and narcotics , and watch with interest how MFC progress with my generous donation .

Happy with this signing . As has been mentioned in previous posts ,Higdon is one of those strikers that always made me nervous when he played against us . Capable of scoring a goal out of nothing , and the occasional screamer from distance .. Good bit of business by McCall . Welcome to The Arc big man .

Keen to see what you lads have got planned . This is my 50th post on site , so hopin I will get my access to protected forum now for a wee swatch !

Now that the league is done and dusted , McCall has a week to instill a belief into the players that this game CAN be won . Although the post split results have been poor , I don't think they will have any bearing on the final . The occasion itself should be all the motivation the players need to perform . A lot of our boys have good reason to be at the top of their game . For some , like Craigan , it could be the only appearance they will realistically make in a final at this point of their careers , and for others , like Murphy and Sutton it is a platform to furthering themselves in their careers , wether it be a move to the championship or whatever . As long as they BELIEVE they are a match for Celtic on the day , and play offensively rather than sit deep and give them too much respect and time on the ball , I honestly think we are more than capable of getting the result that we are all hoping and praying for . Good backing from the fans will also be key . So even if things are a bit tetchty at the start , everyone in the crowd wearing claret and amber MUST back the boys and be as vocal as possible . IT CAN BE DONE ! MON THE ' WELL !

Would've loved one of these again myself . Remember havin one on at '91 final , and still havin it on in that fine establishment Faces that night , watchin a re-run of the game on the big screen bouncin about oot ma nut !

Maybe a wee bit late makin my suggestion , but agree with Special AKA and some others that it needs to be something that can be picked up quickly by what will be a mixed bag of supporters on the day . Lots of clubs have went with 60s and 70s numbers that all generations instantly recognise , and I think Take Me Home Country Roads , adapted to Take Me Home Fir Park Road , wi the West Virginia mountain mamma ( I think ) bit changed to We hate Celtic , dirty bas*ards , or something more appropriate , would be one that the masses would catch onto with ease . Might be shite , just one that a few teams down south have used in years gone by .

Just had a chance to look at renewal letter , and dont know if I'm missing something . On the letter it states at request of fans interest free monthly standing order option has been introduced , whereas all the accompanying jargon points to zebra finance at 19.9% apr . Am I missing something ?

Caley have proved tonight how vulnerable Celtic are if you get your tactics and formation right , then have a go at them . Only seen last 30 mins but in that time , although Celtic had a few decent chances to score , Caley could also have increased their lead . Start with attack minded team with 2 wide men running at them as we did in the league game at F/P , and 21st May 2011 could be to a new generation of Well fans what 18th May 1991 was to us old timers , the best day of ur life bar none , Mon The Well !

Hadn't checked seat numbers on my tickets closely , but after reading ur post had a wee look , and 4 are in EEE , with the other 2 further along in FFF , although all the tickets are joined together ! wtf

Tbh , I think its inevitable that the cup final will be the swansong of a few of our players . Although I would love to see Sutts and Jenno staying , it must come into their thinking from an ambition point of view that with a club of our stature , getting to a national semi final , final , and top six finish could probably be the limit of success they could hope to achieve . If they hope to achieve more in their careers , finances etc. they couldn't be faulted and will hopefully leave wi a nice shiny winners in their back pocket as a memento of their time at the ark .!

Outstanding fight and commitment to battle back today . Great attitude McCall has built into the boys that might , just might lead us to glory in the final .As long as we go for it there is plenty of goals in this team .Majstorovic , Loovens etc. will struggle to cope with Murphy and Sutts if we are direct and attack minded . Feels great to be a 'Well fan just now . Mon ra Dossers !

Was on BBC website earlier , and although I would assume there will be crowd shots at the start of the game , I sent an e-mail to Sportscene about the display , so hopefully the nation will get to see the fruits of your labour ! Good work lads .

would make an initial donation of say £10m , to allow for immediate investment in training facilities , stadium upgrade , and to secure Jenno on a new 10 yr contract . Then I would give the club the annual interest off the rest of the money , so that there was a steady flow of funds , rather than give a lump sum , which would probably end up pissed up against a wall , or spent on the new Shaun McSkimming .

" Yir a wanker Mensing ! " . Only applies 3 or 4 games a season , but the one and only reason any man could look forward to playin' that turgid shower a' shite fae across the water .

Voted Yes . Head says naw , but heart says aye , just got to keep the faith and hope for the best . After having top 6 finishes a few seasons on the bounce , the thought of meaningless , mind numbing bottom half games for the rest of the season is horrible . It wouldn't do our chances of holding onto the out of contract guys like Sutton and Jennings any good either , as the club are probably relying on the extra revenue from top 6 to offer them deals . With free week for internationals , just got to hope injuries clear up , and boys come back with a bit more energy and determination for the few games that are going to shape the rest of our season .

Agree with the majority on here that kick off times like this are killing the game . T.v. for me as well . On the game itself , Killie have been the surprise team of the season for me , and were very unlucky to leave Ibrox with nothing on Sunday . Would be happy with a point down there , 1-1 with Sutty to keep his scoring streak going .

The big man was different class today again , but I have to agree with Haggischomper that if he plays as well for the remainder of the season , I fear he will be destined for a top championship team at the least . He's contracted for a couple of years though , so we should be looking for a very decent offer to let him go . Definitely one of the finds of the season in Scottish football .

Whole team outstanding to a man today , went for Las though . Even after his ridiculous booking he wasn't afraid to put in some meaty challenges and won everything . Still buzzing hours after the game , love beatin that mob , I just can't get enough !

Expecting another hard fought affair like yesterdays , with the 'Well running out winners 2-0 this time . The Midden will use similar tactics to Accies because they are equally gash and aren't capable of anything else , so anyone expecting any fancy free flowing fitba will be sadly disappointed . 3 points are the main thing to keep some momentum going so we hopefully make a game of it wi the Smellic next weekend .
