My dislike of Celtic doesn’t outweigh my support of Motherwell. If a player or manager is wearing our colours giving their all for us then that’s all I care about. The team they support doesn’t matter. That’s the difference. So, you’re accusing me of being a Rangers fan yet in the very next sentence bemoan that in this part of the world nobody believes you when you say you support a non-Old Firm club?? With attitudes like yours from a non-OF club fan what chance does anyone have?

Oh yes they do. It’s a small minority though, granted, but there are definitely some in our support whose dislike of Rangers outweighs their love of Motherwell. I’ve been at Fir Park enough times and heard enough comments about enough players and read enough comments on here and other social media to know that there are some in our support who absolutely DO hate Rangers more than they like Motherwell. Anyway we’re going off topic here so I’ll leave it at that and apologise to the Admin team for the temporary derailment of the thread.

Re: Halliday he definitely appears to have upped his game since Wimmer took over, all of a sudden he is showing more effort and workrate. He did well on SSB last night too so full marks for that. I’ve always loved how he gets up the noses of the “I hate Rangers more than I like Motherwell” section of our fanbase and if he’s playing well that will happen all the more

It would be in true Motherwell fashion if we lost a home game right after winning at Ibrox. It happened last year when we won there we lost our very next game at home 0-1 against Aberdeen.

0-1 defeat

The (correctly) disallowed goal apart I thought we were pretty comfortable in the latter stages.

It can be forty shades of shite for all I care right now Beating Rangers will never not be brilliant. Winning twice in our last two games against Rangers at Ibrox is sensational stuff!

Game over

Maybe we could try not to lunge into needless tackles inside the box or putting hands up at crosses then we might be able to avoid having a penalty awarded against us?

Having a manager whose sole tactic isn’t let the opposition have as much possession as they like and hope for a break here and there is certainly refreshing.

If we could just break the habit of a lifetime here and not concede when 2-0 up then it would be magic!

No more than we deserve right now but we’ve been here before. Infact there it is. Only one winner now (edit: maybe not quite yet)

It was clearly onside there was no justifiable reason to disallow it after a VAR check.

The Spinmaster!!!

I reckon he won’t be too bothered. He might manage a slight cringe like most people outwith Rangers do but I don’t think it will ruin his day.

Balmer in for SO’D Staunch Andy will captain us at his beloved Ibrox…

I see we are wearing white tomorrow? Why? I’m sick of us not wearing C&A when there is no need to change.

Massive win last night. If we are to avoid the playoffs that is exactly the game we need to be winning.

Ah it’s the “Hands across the M74 derby” Having a manager who is an outsider to Scottish football has served us well in the past in this fixture so it could potentially work in our favour. However I can’t see past a narrow loss and another win for Barry’s rejuvenated Gers. 2-1 to the People.

God help us. 🙄

His first start at Fir Park I should say. I read the Twitter post wrong.

That’s a grim looking lineup. Not that we could realistically put out a better one but still, just looking at that gives me the fear.

Halliday starts again… Andrews gets his first start.

You’re not wrong but Wimmer doesn’t have much time to sort this mess out. And if/wheh we fall behind against Dundee on Wednesday night then it’s going to get pretty ugly as the support are scunnered. Obviously on the flip side of that if we score early, play well and win then the picture changes but it’s hard to see that happening with the way things have been going. As I said earlier, Wednesday against Dundee is a huge game.

0-2 More misery
