Motherwell Rude awakening

- Derek Wilson

After a few months of relatively sedate progress, the wheels came off the Motherwell bandwagon spectacula­rly at Fir Park on Sunday. It is likely a good thing we have two weeks to lick our wounds. While we have not beaten Rangers in the league in a long time, there were indication­s we had a better than average chance this time. How wrong that was. The annoyance in missing our opportunit­y comes not from the fact Rangers were notably better but they didn’t have to be – we simply handed them goals. We deserve tremendous credit for our 2019 turnaround but a reminder, unpleasant though it may seem, of how much work remains could be a positive in the long run.
