I don't see why not especially if you read the full statement on the BBC web site It remains unclear what will happen to Kilmarnock's next two figures - away to Falkirk and at home to Dunfermline in the Scottish League Cup - which fall within the self-isolation period. If they are unable or unwilling to field a team in those games, they would forfeit the match 3-0. unable or unwilling are the key phrases, if thats the case in the League Cup, why should it be different in the premiership?

Where did you see that, so are the UEFA guidelines being ignored or have another 4 or 5 Killie players suddenly injured themselves to take the available player below the 13

That set up is a disgrace, if a team qualifies for the CL, they should play in that till they are eliminated, all this, champions path and dropping into the EL is feckin nonsense, if you are out you should be out, so Dundalk were beaten in the CL qualifiers as were Celtic, so both should be out with no further European involvement this season. Its even applied after the CL group stages ffs, a UEFA carve up to pander to the top teams and TV companies. If that nonsense stopped there would be more places available for the EL, oh and while I am on my rant the CL should be for champions only or change the name.

As a well fan you should learn very early on that betting on us for anything other than the number of penalties we concede, is not to be recommended , hope it comes up though.

Cant see the game going ahead now

Bigger result than most folk realised, we are already going to get 2 CL spots for the 21-22 season, so Rangers winning tonight and both ugly sisters progressing means Scotland can overtake turkey in the rankings and if that happens iit could mean automatic CL group stage entry for Scottish Premiership winners from 22- 23 season i think

Be'er sheeva just beaten pilsen1-0, think that's their 3rd group stages qualification in last 5 years, put a bit of perspective on what we were up against, even before we helped them to victory

What a crock of shite comparing managerial / coaching ability to playing ability, Klopp, Ferguson, Shankly, mouhrinuo, some of the best managers in the world were average at best players. Some top class players can make great managers, but its a whole different skill set to coach a team, in terms of SR his record in his time at Fir Park is decent, cup finals, European football, with the resources at his disposal. Where do you honestly think Motherwell should be in the league, what is your expectation of success over 38 games?

For me i think Longs attitude is suspect , he never seems fully committed to games this season, no doubt he is a decent player but I don't think we are getting the full benefit just now.

Doh I honestly forgot Turnbull was with them now

If you mean Forrest, he's injured

I think its a mental thing with games against Rangers, we can't compete on budgets with them so they can buy better players etc, but so can Celtic and our record against them home and away over the same period we have failed to beat Rangers is reasonable. I don't know what Barraclough said to the players before the playoff games in 2015 but that's what we need SR to be doing, as every time we play them now we seem to be beaten in our minds before the game starts.

Said it for weeks now Lamie is brutal should be nowhere near the team, but SR seems to think he can do a job. To be fair he looked OK at Livi in beside Gallagher so he may turn things round this season and prove me wrong but right now he needs dropped, problem is though who do we have to replace him, nobody.

Because certain clubs won't be happy at small numbers, the ugly sisters will start shouting and complaining to anybody who will listen about how they need the stadiums full etc. Also the facilities the majority of bottom championship, league 1 and 2 clubs have dont make social distancing and all the other requirements an easy or cheap option. For me until the virus is under control the only solution is some sort of financial help for affected clubs that need it, as I don't think we will see any fans at games this season. The SFA, SPFL , Scottish and/ or UK Government need to step up and come up with a solution.

And no doubt you will be on here after the game telling us all how you called it, do you enjoy being Yodo and Steelboy's padawan, learning the ways of negativity

So by your theory, some random person sitting near you at fir park, coughing etc spreading the virus to everyone nearby is no risk, Any large gathering of people wherever it is , pubs, football stadiums, walking down the road etc is ideal conditions for spreading the virus. So until this virus is under control there will be no fans anywhere near stadiums, nothing to do with politics but all to do with public health, simples.

Thats exactly the attitude to take, as has been proved by all the new students not giving a feck and getting mad with the bevvy and whatever else during freshers week and spreading the virus. Assume the worst case scenario and legislate accordingly, peoples health and lives are more important than fans getting to watch football.

Unlucky.....we had great draws in all 3 rounds, 4th lowest ranked team in Q1, Coleraine did us a massive favour by beating Maribor to get us seeded in Q2 and we got them again one of the lowest ranked teams. In Q3 we avoided the likes of Basel and got the lowest ranked seeded team in our mini group. So we have had lots of luck draw wise in all 3 rounds but we never took the chance last night.

Went for Watt, he is as slow as a week in the jail but was the closest we got to a goal tonight, he put in a good shift, mention for Campbell he had a good game as well.

Here fishy fishy

Rangers flying high, only lost 2 goals all season, great win away in Europe, full of confidence, while we have a very dodgy defence, zero goal threat, just been pumped by an average team, never beaten Rangers in the league, in years, can only be one outcome....home win

Only 3 to blame tonight, Gallagher and O'Donnell for not picking up and gifting the 1st goal, and long for making a stupid tackle and giving away the free kick. Up till then HBS never looked like scoring. Even at 1-0 down we were well in the game and under no real pressure until Gallagher had a meltdown inside 2 mins and it was game over. We actually played ok tonight but our lack of goal threat and defensive meltdown made an average beatable team look good, and that's what pisses me off most.

Totally agree he is brutal, gives me the fear big time, at the 1st goal he was in no one's land marking nobody, not a clue where the runners were, and not his only error, needs dropped ASAP, not good enough.

Thats what annoys me most, Beer Sheva are bang average, no better than what we face in the SPL, the game had extra time and pens all over it till we gifted them the 1st goal, we had no belief from the start, never got in their faces from the off, which coupled with shambolic defending was always going to end badly.

Gallagher wrong side of his man and wtf was Lamie doing marking nobody, absolute shocking defending, gifted a goal to a team who had hardly been in the game, typical Motherwell. We are still in it but its a tough ask now
