Pedro’s words had my Well boys fired up to go on attack

-

Stephen Robinson was thrilled to shove Pedro Caixinha’s prediction­s back down his throat.

The Fir Park gaffer was gutted to leave Ibrox with a point after a man-of-the-match show from Rangers No.1 Wes Foderingha­m.

He said: “I read in Pedro’s press interviews all about how we were going to lie back and we were coming to get beat – that was never the case for us.

“We played three up front all the time and we were brave. I doubt many people come to Ibrox and do that. We fancied our chances.

“He made changes and they worked for five minutes until we got our momentum again.

“There was a couple of decisions that looked dubious now that I have seen them again.

“You don’t get those things at Ibrox – anywhere else we may have had a penalty. We are really disappoint­ed we haven’t come away with three points.”

Scorer Louis Moult shared his manager’s despair – but praised ref Steven McLean for getting a big call right when he chopped off a goal for Well for offside when his shot glanced off Stephen Pearson on the way in.

He moaned: “How’s my luck? It’s unbelievab­le. Pearson didn’t even know where the ball was.

“It’s a strange one. But at the end of the day it’s a good decision, so fair play.

“That’s probably our best performanc­e of the season so we have to take the positives. Their keeper was their best player.

“That must be the standard going forward.”
