Are you sure your not a Rangers fan MJC? I think the 'rather not see that again' quote might have been me. Sorry if it offended you. You have certainly been holding onto it for some time. I think that quote was months ago. Just to clear things up on that. I loved Bobby Russell as a player. I loved Colin O Neill as a player. His goal in the 4-2 Scottish Cup semi final gave me my single most enjoyable moment as a football fan on what was for me the greatest night of being a Motherwell fan in my life. I loved wee Tommy McLean. His management coincided with my most enjoyable days going to the football. I get nothing but pleasure from watching the videos above. They bring back many happy memories. Davie Cooper was a gift from the heavens to Motherwell at the time and I consider it an absolute privilege to have watched one of the most gifted players in Scotland history wear claret and amber. When I think of all these players I think of players who were playing for the Motherwell jersey. They were celebrating goals as Motherwell players. Tommy McLean sides were beating Celtic and Rangers for the Motherwell jersey. My favourite ever Motherwell player happened to be Tommy Coyne, an ex Celtic man. I remember him having to take the abuse of Rangers fans about the tragic death of his wife when we played Rangers are Firpark and Coyne was visibly shaken. I think from memory Tommy McLean had to substitute him. It is those kinds of moments that strengthen s my belief that Rangers are not better than Celtic despite your claims otherwise. On Skippy Sunday I felt that Terry Butcher was celebrating more than just a Motherwell win. It is a personal opinion of mine that has obviously caused you some offense but it does remain something that I would not care to see again. I enjoyed Motherwell's draw on Saturday as much as I enjoyed Skippy Sunday. The impact that the Skippy Sunday result had on either Celtic or Rangers meant nothing to me. As one last aside, if Celtic or Rangers were playing a European final I would and have supported both of them. Any bitterness I have for the OF does not extend beyond my wish to see Motherwell thump them both every time we play them. Sadly these days the pickings are lean. It's what makes Saturday's result something to celebrate and the videos above something to cherish forever.

The earlier post By Toxteth where the interview was detailed in full captured the original quote re contract running out at end of this season. The official link to the article now reveals the amended, accurate information. Would not be surprised if Motherwell contacted the newspaper to point out their error. Certainly be in MFC's interest to set the record straight. Thought KVV was very respectful of Motherwell...and Celtic.....and came across well. If KVV and/or his Agent are actively seeking to cash in good luck to them. Given his age he has to look after his own best interests. His comments show that even if he does move on he hopes Motherwell are well recompensed. I can think of others who. in a similar situation, have been less considerate. Credit to him for that.

I think he should wear it anyways. Imagine the crack on here if he did.

Some of the usual suspects on here would drench their scants nowadays if we beat Celtic with a team led by ex-Ranger Tommy McLean and containing Bobby Russell and Davie Cooper. Then you throw in Rangers supporting Ulsterman Colin O’Neill whacking a Celtic player in the chops and getting away with it at the time. If “Terry Butchers celebrations on Skippy Sunday are something I’d rather not see again” to paraphrase a quote from a poster on here a couple of months ago are anything to go by then beating Celtic with an ex Rangers manager, two ex Rangers players running the show and one being described as “loves scoring against Celtic” and a Rangers fan from NI elbowing one of their players in the face…god knows how they would cope. 😆

Gees !!!! donning that would have been extremely daring One could say "one giant leap for mankini"

"Bobby Russell, a man who seems to take great delight in scoring against Celtic..."

If you want to get any pleasure out of football, it's a good idea in general to avoid listening to what players have to say. There are a few exceptions, but mostly you'll end up disappointed. (The same, of course, is true for famous actors, musicians, players from other sports etc.) Sometimes you can't avoid it, but most of the time it's pretty easy. Back to the game, it looks like Celtic's point was a good result compared to Rangers. It's a rare and fine weekend when both sides of the OF are unhappy. Long may it continue.

For me Not binning Hammell quick enough cost us a top 6 chance and a longer run in the Scottish cup.

Someone obviously missed the selfie i uploaded last week that sadly had to be taken down 🤭
