It’s easy to see why Craigan was part of the team that had our worst run against Rangers with that attitude. “We used to go to Ibrox scared”? Come on to f@@k. 
 

Whatever happens on Wednesday night there is no way that JBA will allow any of the players to go into the game with that nonsensical attitude.

For someone who predicts that we will get beat most weeks, I find this kind of positivity quite refreshing!

😍😍😍

Steven McLean the referee for this one and John Beaton on VAR. A pre-made excuse for the dribbling dafties and conspiracy theorists. :rolleyes:

”Brother Beaton would never have given that decision if it was up the other end” etc

Well if Stephen Welsh runs across the goal line to slap a certain goal bound ball away with the palm of his hand, let's hope John Beaton makes the same honest mistake he made at Ibrox against Livingston.

These things swing in roundabouts after all. 😉

One advantage of our high possession stats is the lack of opportunity for VAR involvement.

Obviously kicks in when there is a goal scored, but otherwise it helps keep the incompetents at arm's length.

Listened to JBA press conference.  Guy is absolutely brilliant,  fears no one and gives the press no ammo.

Would be immense if we could win on Wednesday then let's just take it one game at a time

Another chance to gain on those around us if we can win. Hibs v Hearts tomorrow night amd then Rangers v Hearts at the weekend when we play Aberdeen at Fir Park.

Aye, none of this "we need to be our best and hope to catch them on a off day" nonsense.

There's no doubt he has everyone in that team believing they can win on Wednesday.

I believe we will win. 3-0.

However, and it hurts me to say, if we don’t get the 3 points from this game then that’s us out the title race

In previous years that would be a comical throw away comment to be taken with a bag of salt, never mind a pinch. However, this time it’s not beyond the realms of possibility and a reasonable forecast.

I don't feel like we're in the title race yet - still very much chasers.

That's fine with me. If we somehow end up in the top 6 in a position where winning all our remaining matches will do some damage, then I'll start thinking about it.

True. It's a bit like they what they say at the golf. "You can't win a tournament on a Friday, but you can lose it".

And given Rangers & Hearts play each other at the weekend, were we to win both matches, the table starts to look much more interesting.......

I think we have to dream now. I don't think it is looking at things with a Motherwell bias to say that we have been at least as good as the teams ahead of us. 

There has been nothing between Motherwell and Rangers this season in head to head encounters and but for a contentious penalty decision it could easily have been two draws between the sides.

A win on Wednesday would be a massive statement of intent and it would pile pressure onto Rangers. Win and it is a huge result in the history of the club and provides the platform for what could be a very special season.

Defeat would represent a significant anticlimax.

I can't remember being as fired up for a game for some considerable time.

Fact there is talk about us possibly in a title race sums up the incredible transformation to a year ago and the end of SK reign.   No idea how this season will end but would be awesome if we could be in a title chase and win the cup but realistically if we finish 4th its still a great achievement

Any idea how our ticket sales are looking? It’d be lovely to see the same amount of home fans as was at the Celtic game. 
 

Ticket sales are a shambles, logged on to my account to buy two tickets for my sons, only to find out there is no online sale, as they "need to check purchase history". So i had to trek all the way over from EK to the ticket office today to buy them.

I get why they need checks to stop the Rangers fans buying them etc, but when i am logging on to a password protected account, the system should already know how many ive bought in the past and let me buy them, oh and £34 for an adult ticket in the POD is a bit steep.

Rant over.

Agree. Still a great achievement -- but as we're so close this game is huge. Hopefully the lads play their best and we really serve it up to them. :yes:

He loves to have a bit of fun with them for sure!

I guess they must enjoy it too though. Better than the same old scripted tropes you normally get from managers at these things.

Jens is a class act.

This would be a good game for our new forward to start scoring. Regardless, if our players are on their game, we are better than rangers!!  

I got heavy "Eythor is starting this one" vibes from Big Jens presser......
