Brief reaction piece to drawing against Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup.

After a ten-year wait, and countless valiant attempts, Motherwell finally ended their 35 game winless streak against Celtic with a lesson given to Wilfried Nancy's schoolBhoys.

Motherwell come into the festive season on a high of four points from six against the Dundee sides.

But, this is perhaps a time to look at how our stars are doing out with the club. And maybe, just maybe, us Scots can dream again.

Looking Ahead A deflating feeling writing this after the result at Hampden. I'm sure I'm not the only one in the immediate aftermath who was absolutely spewing at full time (link to post match St Mirren). However, perhaps there is a need to take this in context. A few months with Askou at the helm has seen us revamp our playing style completely, integrate mass new signings into the squad, and seen us go to a cup semi-final. The Buddies, with Stephen Robinson have been there,
