Same team. Would be very typical of Motherwell to lose this game though.

Give Reynolds time to adjust. He has effectively taken a step down in the hope that Wednesday can make it big once again. Not going to happen under Megson mind you.

Fantastic keeper, offers great assurance to his defence. However, we should be looking to make some serious money out of him this summer.

Days like yesterday make football so worthwhile. I've been banging on for a wee while that I think McCall could direct us to an era that was reminiscent of our time under Butcher and dare I say McLean. Aye we may lose our fair share of games that we are expected to win but when it comes to the crunch, up against the Old Firm, we will give it absolutely everything and not be fazed by the reputation of the opposition. Indeed, the biggest satisfaction for me was that yesterday's performance didn't come as a surprise. To a man every single player gave it there all. Delighted for the 2 kids at centre half, when did we last have a defender that won every ball in the air that came near the box. Lasley led by example and set the tone for the match, Forbes showed his class and Sutton & Hateley were bang on the money. I hope those who were suggesting that Jennings and Lasley should be rested for the 'bigger' games that lie ahead in March had a good look at themselves this morning. Wins over the likes of Inverness and Killie are ten a penny while the memories generated yesterday will be taken to the grave. More importantly, we now have a new sense of belief that we can take on anybody, something that has gradually disappeared in the last 5 years, despite our relative success. Well done Motherwell.

Superb performances all round, Hutchison was a joy to watch while Hateley, Sutton and Forbes were bang on the money. MOTM has to go to Lasley though. We were turning back the years there with a Motherwell captain that shows 200% commitment, puts their foot in for every ball and most importantly, leads by example. Motherwell legend. Stephen Craigan should never get near the armband again.

I don't quite get the attitude of not risking players against Celtic as we will most likely lose. Celtic fucking hate coming to FP and we recently gave Rangers a scare at Hampden when nobody gave us a chance. I'd be content to lose every other league game this season if it meant we humped Celtic on Sunday. Intae them.

Exactly.

Usually agree with you mate but the players will give a fuck against Celtic, McCall will make sure of that. Some of our best results against the Old Firm over the years have came during a period of dodgy form.

+1. This is one of the better Celtic teams to come to FP in recent years but I fancy us to run them close as long as some of our key figures manage to shake off knocks.

Absolutely detested Boyle during his early years in charge but he ploughed an immense amount of money into the club and my faith was restored in him when he took the Cooper away from the Old Firm. This summer it was clear to me that his interest had jaded as he was unwilling to invest in a striker that would have took us by Odense and into a lucrative and prestigious phase of our history. The concern for me now is Derek Weir. Motherwell fan, articulate, experienced and incredibly well spoken but his grand plan seems a rather far fetched and lacks any genuine substance. For a club that was scraping the bottom of the barrel in the summer for a shirt sponsor, I fail to see where any significant local investment is going to come from.

I really like McCall. Got it wrong last night by relying on that humpty Humphrey but it's post match interview was very refreshing. Really feel like we are heading for a Butcher/McLean type era where we will regularly lose games we are expected to win but cause a few upsets along the way. I wouldn't be surprised if we run a very good Celtic team close on Sunday.

Felt throughout this season that Boyle was looking to step down. It was clear to see with how Weir was in charge of the interview process for a new manager.

Few quid on under 2.5 goals.

St Mirren have got a wee bit about them on their day. Need to get off to a good start and not offer them any encouragement. Never like us being up against Higdon.

Tremendous. I was hoping this would materialise.

Thought he looked fairly decent in the cup game. Plenty potential given he is only 21.

Flicked onto Clyde for 5 minutes and happened to catch the call. To be honest, while I appreciate where you are coming from I don't think you got your point across well. DOn't waste your time trying to get a rational debate out of Keevins.

First time in years I've enjoyed listening to a game on the radio. Really fancied us pre-match and I'm delighted with the way it turned out. Chuffed to read such good reviews on Forbes, always said he is one of the most gifted players at the club. Really hope he can win a few folk over at Fir Park in the upcoming home games. Under McCall I get the impression that we will be far from consistent however we will have the spirit and belief to pull off a few upsets along the way. Given our record in big games over recent years, that'll do for me.

We've been woeful away from home since Brown departed but for some reason I fancy us tonight. Would expect a positive reaction to the Ibrox debacle.

I gather you don't put Motherwell on your coupons?

Wee bit too young to remember us being relegated but I do remember watching France 98 thinking to myself that next time we qualify, I'll be old enough to go. I think it is the sense of unfulfillment with Scotland that keeps me hooked. While with Motherwell, nothing will ever beat May 91 for me.

Tomorrow is the kinda day that I'll not go out my way to check the score.

Had this debate on a number of occassions. And as I've said before, I'd happily trade off Motherwell being relegated in order to see Scotland get to a World Cup again.

Very sensible pricing. Great stuff. C'mon Motherwell, ensure a good turnout by putting on some buses.

Probably not as Ljunberg to Arsenal was only £3 million.
