Yes, Watt may be slow now but the ball tends to stick to him and he's a fly old pro who would have drawn fouls from G&I, The Gruesome Twosome, and he played a part in Slattery's second goal. Incidentally, I noticed the BBC commentator described it as "trickling" into the net. Hmmmmm: not to sure about that.....

Poor guy looked out of his depth and quite relieved to get taken off whereas Slattery seemed to revel in the physicality of yesterday's game. In the highlights you can see how cleverly he got round Gogic for his first goal and he wasn't intimidated by Iacovitti either. All in all an excellent performance from him.

Yes, and when we beat them at FP in a sell-out cup tie, Fergie played the victim and complained about our physical play: classic projection from him. Watched Sportscene eventually and thought Robbo displayed very little class in his post-match comments, so I'm glad the draw annoyed him so much. Also, the BBC highlights package was typically poor: MFC's early miss and Gogic's header right at the end were completely omitted and both big incidents which caused delay and injury were not shown either. At least we have a break now to assess injuries and try get some more players back in contention for the Aberdeen game.

Really? Pretty bad to say that, given his side's cynical play throughout. There was a lot of concern from the home fans around me in the POD at the Munce injury, some of whom were critical of what they thought was a tardy response from the first aiders. Ironically, it looked to me that Psychovitti hurt his own player by taking out everyone in front of him on the touchline. He wouldn't have bullied Armstrong, that's for sure. The "Buddies" were the dirtiest I've seen at FP for a while and got away with too much early on from the referee. I wish they were closer to the relegation trap-door, frankly. If it's true we've got a bounce-game with them next week, I'd be concerned about further injuries. Anyone know what is the problem with Viking Armstrong?

Quite. I understand that many fans' views on our jersey depend to some extent on the one they first saw The 'Well wear but the Battenberg/Jester's Outfit, particularly with the counterchanged shorts (white ones might just have made it bearable) was an utter honker abominated by many fans. I still have its groovy predecessor in my cupboard, with all its great memories. I'm only saying this in case some blue-spectacle-framed hipster designer called Dork Spandrel or somesuch dares to even think about reheating the B/JO for next season. If so, the claymore's coming oot the thatch.

Yes, Bobby was master of the statuesque looking-with-surprise-at-the-ball-nestling-in-the -corner-of-the-net stance 😱.

Certainly, if it were possible, because if he were to go to Celtic I think he would be a bench warmer for a while and I don't think David Turnbull's experience at CP was beneficial for his development.

Yes, anything than Lennon signing for one of the OF. If he has to go and it's not to Lyon, maybe Mr Wimmer could facilitate a suitable German destination where he can play regularly and develop further.

Imagine if he ends up at Grayskull after a stunning three months with us 😱.........

Aaargh! Welcome to Controversy Corner! It is normally a Sampdoria-sandwich-style hoop but then as a confirmed Hoopist my eyes might be deceiving me 🤣.

"VfB Stuttgart meets Alloa Athletic": nicely put. It's clear from MW's post-match comments that he had a clear idea of how Rangers could be beaten tactically and planned accordingly. The players, to their credit, executed it. And Stuttgary play in a hoop. It's a sign ah tell ye!

You can tell that's a fake richt awa because they didnae hae screw-taps in the 17th. centuroid 🤣

Given that we have achieved back-to-back victories only once at Ibrox in more than 60-odd years, it got me thinking why? Surely the relative strengths of the two teams can't suddenly have narrowed to explain our recent wins? We've had a lot of pretty decent teams (much better than the present one) which continually came up short in that period against Rangers teams of varied ability . I always thought that even good managers like McGhee and McCall almost wrote off our matches against the OF and we just went through the motions in these fixtures. I feel that psychology/attitude must explain some of our abject performances at Ibrox: we were beaten before we started, irrespective of the relative strengths of the two teams. Which brings me to Mr Wimmer. I can't imagine that a visit to Castle Grayskull held many terrrors for a man who was used to playing away at Bayern Munich or Dortmund und so weiter in his spell at Stuttgart as assistant and then manager. So is the psychological aspect of "beaten before we started" a possible explanation for that shocking six decade statistic? I remember when Ian St. John took over as manager we immediately reversed a dire record at Celtic Park too because of his aggressive and positive mindset and it was great to see Pettigrew and Graham carve them up in away fixtures.

Wee Bazza: we're simply the best. Michael Wimmer: no, the wurst! Help ma boab, I've done a grizzly 😱!

We should remember that MW has had a lot of exposure to Bundesliga football both in Germany and Austria so we should expect him to be up to speed re structure, tactics, fitness regimes, set-plays, metrics etc. Conversely, I noticed some Rangers fan on social media saying even before this game that all he'd seen of Barry Ferguson when at Clyde was him shouting and swearing at his players. BF's "success" there, Kelty Hearts and Alloa suggest he is not the man for the job at Ibrox in the long term. Think we could be on to a winner with Wimmer. I notice none of our great Scottish churnalists and presstitutes seem aware of Wimmer's pedigree or noticed his potential.

Yes, it was Thunderstruck. Pity Bon Scott didn't live to perform it, although BJ does a pretty good job.

Yup, MW seems to have been interim manager at Stuttgart for seven games after a considerable period as assistant. Having experienced playing against the likes of Bayern, Borussia D. et al for a long period, I hardly think he will have been troubled much about visiting Ibrox and so it has proved. His spell at Austria Vienna was pretty healthy too. If he can get a tune out of our injury-depleted squad which was supposedly totally crapola after only three games, then he must have something about him. Hats off to the players too who have followed his instructions and dug out a great couple of performances. Their belief in the manager can only grow in these circumstances, where he has let them off the Kettlewell leash. Es gibt wirklich einen Gott! #In Wimmer we trust.

Probably explains why a significant number of Gooners are seething just now. I mean, by contrast, Havertz and Martinelli? We were fortunate to have seen Mika at FP, and if that clown Dunne The Bun hadn't whacked him, we would have a much better season last year. We complain about our recruitment but what about those in charge at Arsenal?

Talking to myself: 1-3 BM at the moment. Omens shmomens!

MW's old club Stuttgart have just opened the scoring against Bayern Munich. Planets aligning for ramorra?

Normally I would agree with you about our beautiful colours but this is clearly our manager's Cunning Plan to work Real Madrid voodoo upon Wee Bazza's XI and totally discombobulate them #In Wimmer We Trust (ya bass).

So Motherwell players can actually pass to each other and move up the park as a unit, press the opposition and bust a gut for each other? What suddenly happened 😈? Couldn't criticise anyone tonight since Dan redeemed himself with his second goal. I suspect Armstrong may not become a big goal scorer at SPL level but he won an amazing number of challenges and could be useful if he is paired with a nippy and nimble partner. Sounds like our wee coach is a dead-ball-routine connoisseur so that should be helpful in tight games. Would be lovely to wipe the prematurely smug smiles off The Hens' faces this weekend. I don't think our managerial duo will be too fazed by a visit to CG Central so I hope that rubs off on the players. 'Mon The 'Well!

Mrs Slocombe from Are You Being Served? could do a better job. Looks as poor as yon Chapman fella.

Feeling similar: the failure of the club to defend the vast majority of decent of our support has left me wondering if they're the kind of people who should be running our club and I'm not sure either that they can make the correct decision on the next manager. The media pile-on should have been challenged from the start and their ignoring of the Thelin abuse just shows what a hypocritical bunch our football churnalists are. Ketttlewell's bacon roll and "holding court" style press conferences have certainly paid dividends.
