The Away Leg || Aberdeen vs Motherwell Scottish Cup 5th Round Preview
A familiar foe. A ground we’ll have visited more than any other so far this season by the end of Wednesday. And just the slightest dose of déjà vu. Motherwell, once again, go face to face with Aberdeen. With both teams knowing who awaits them in the quarter finals - mid-table Championship Dunfermline away, if you somehow missed the draw - it is a game that presents serious opportunities. Regardless, I can’t help but feel that we’ve been here before… The Form Guide… Two sets

Much Delayed, Much Replayed // Motherwell vs Aberdeen Preview
This feels like a game for which we've been waiting a while. A different competition, but once again the Aberdeen double hitter approaches. Motherwell go into this game fresh from a last minute 1-1 draw against Rangers, and are still undefeated since December 27th (incidentally their last loss also coming against Rangers). A win for the Well could see us push within 4 points of Celtic and 5 from Rangers (results pending), as well as widening the gap above Falkirk and Hiberni

A Point Gained, but could it have been more? || Motherwell vs Rangers Analysis
Well… what is there to say about that? In another game in which Motherwell just never seemed to give, it was a point rescued against The Rangers. Both sides came into this one in fine form, and with their own motives for collecting three points: the Bears were looking to extend the gap between us and themselves, and reel in Hearts at the top of the table ahead of their mouth-watering clash at Ibrox. For the Steelmen, it was an opportunity to close the gap above, and solidify

Stephen Welsh returns to Celtic
Stephen Welsh has been recalled by Celtic, with the Glasgow club citing that they "need cover" in that area. The Hoops had until 14th January to make a decision whether or not to take him back, and it was originally understood that they wouldn't need him. But with Nancy being unceremoniously sacked, and O'Neill being reinstated till the end of the season, it was decided that Welsh would be needed to further the push to unseat Hearts at the top of the table.

A Crusade to the Capital || Motherwell vs Hibernian Preview
After another convincing home win against St Mirren, and an eleventh clean sheet of the season, Motherwell make the trip to Leith to take on David Gray's Hibs. The Hibees come into this one on a good run of form themselves with three wins on the bounce, including a classic against their city rivals. Still makes for good viewing, right? With The Rangers beating Celtic in the Old Firm derby, and then defeating Aberdeen in midweek, they leapfrogged Celtic into 2nd spot. Still,

Old Firm Foray Part 2 || Motherwell v Celtic Preview
After a narrow defeat away to The Rangers - despite a stonewall penalty shout - Motherwell return home for the second game of the festive period flurry. This time round, it's the visit of the other side of Glasgow: Celtic's Nancy Bhoys. With our loss at Ibrox, and Celtic winning away at the Spaghettihad, we slip to fourth in the table. It is fair to say that this table should perhaps look a little different, with Lukas Fadinger clearly being tripped in the Rangers box in the

Not only that, but our current run of 5 clean sheets in a row also. As for Elvis' Dundee, December hasn't been the best for the Blues. The Dee have seen themselves pick

Get the next round!
Likely the only envy Scottish fans have of our friends down south relating to the match experience is the ability to have a pint at the game. For the first time since 1980 - for us at The Dispatch, in our lifetimes - we can have a pint at the game. But just how did we get here - and why is it long overdue? In 1980, Celtic faced Rangers in the Scottish Cup Final at Hampden. An extra time winner from George McCuskey sealed a 1-0 win for Celtic. A game which, perhaps unusually f
