Pissed off if Skippy's absence from the starting XI was anything other than injury.

Any word on Ross MacLean? Was hoping he'd be back for today but he had to settle for a seat in the away end.

I'm quite taken aback by that McGhee interview. We were unlucky but the better team won on the day and that's fairly acceptable when you are carrying a half fit Cadden and McDonald. Carve out a team that doesn't include dross like Chalmers and Clay and we might have the footballing ability and mental capacity to do a bit better.

Yeah, don't think there's any doubt that Cadden is carrying an injury, which prevented us having an out ball for much of the day. Moult motm, battled away on his own and scored a textbook header that kicked off some fine scenes.

Dom again.

Forbes too.

While we have Joe fucking Chalmers on the left. Time to let Ainsworth move, today we were crying out for pace and a bit of quality in the final third but McGhee clearly doesn't trust him.

Strangely came away from Ibrox not as gutted as you would expect. I wasn't particularly keen on McGhee's tactics but I can understand he setup that way, unfortunately though we didn't have the players to execute the plan with Chalmers, Clay and Tait not up to the required standard. Having said that I felt relatively confident after Moult's textbook header, particularly with McDonald on the pitch. Just need to move on now, hopefully the blue pounds earned today can sort out our left hand side and keep us out a relegation battle.

Looks like the crowd is going to be around the 25k mark, which is not surprising but still disappointing. Some Rangers fans seem to think O'Halloran may start. Would be typical for him to do the business after today's speculation.

No idea how tomorrow will go but it's probably the 1st time I've looked forward to a trip to Ibrox. Hope Cadden, Moult and McDonald get the opportunity to put in really big performances.

O'Halloran is a very good player and would fit well into McGhee's preferred 433. However, I have no interest in taking him on loan from them.

Votes in and verified. Good luck with it Jay.

Thistle seem pretty relaxed about it. http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/partick_thistle/15027292.Ian_Maxwell_says___39_Project_Brave__39__holds_no_fears_for_Partick_Thistle/ I wonder if we had wind of this prior to finalising the move to fan ownership.

Any idea of the land value? I thought House Builders would have made enquiries after the success of the Cala/Bellway developments at the College. With Brexit in full swing mind you, builders aren't going to be paying over the odds for land anytime soon.

Very good listen and Motherwell appear to be in the best position we've been for some time. So disillusioned with the SFA, I haven't paid too much attention with to the remit and implications of Project Brave. Without knowing the detail of academy football, I'm baffled as to why we are focusing on 11-17 year olds (when the young national teams have performed ok) as opposed to managing the transition of our top Scottish players from 18-22.

Man of many clubs Henri Anier signs for Inverness.

The Soccer AM drill suggests Frear has a decent left foot, that's enough for me at the moment. Interesting that Frear is a bit older than the players we have paid for in recent years. We must think there is potential for a quick turnaround.

Looks like we have identified a replacement for Marvin in the Conference. http://www.stroudnewsandjournal.co.uk/sport/15024931.Scottish_Premiership_outfit_Motherwell_close_in_on_Forest_Green_winger_Elliott_Frear/

Dom made the poll for Sky Sports Goal of the day. Decent way to notch your 1st senior goal. Plenty more to come.

Last minute equaliser from Jack Leitch at home to East Fife. Forbes also scored today.

On yersel Dom.

Heard Ian McCall on the radio suggesting his right back, Nicky Devlin, is one of the most sought after players in Scotland. Having arrived at Motherwell highly rated before injury, it would be nice to see him working his way back up the leagues.

Hopefully so. If we were playing anyone else in the central belt (other than Celtic I guess) I suspect we would have sold the majority of a 2k allocation by now. Rangers are an entirely different proposition though, particularly post liquidation.

Think we have an allocation of 2,000. Usually you have a fair gauge on what our away support will be but I've no idea how much interest there is for this.

Unsurprisingly, Robinson didn't last long at Oldham. Wonder if there will be implications for Ripley and Erwin...
