    Clancy in charge at Tannadice

    Referee for this Sunday’s Scottish Professional Football League Premiership clash with Dundee Utd at Tannadice is Kevin Clancy.

    With the season only recently kicking off, it will come as no surprise to learn that it’s Kevin’s first Motherwell match of the new campaign.

    It would have been his second but he was replaced at the last minute ahead of our clash with Aberdeen last month, replaced by John Beaton, after a hectic midweek European jaunt.

    Coincidentally, his last Motherwell match was against Aberdeen, at Pittodrie, back in March when the teams drew a blank in a 0-0 draw.

    It was one of two ‘Well fixtures the 29-year old took charge of last season, his other being the 2-1 away win at Dundee when Michael Higdon bagging a double as Stuart McCall’s men came back from a losing position to pick up all three points.

    His only other Motherwell match was in the 2011/12 Scottish Cup, where he was the man in the middle as the Fir Parkers demolished Queen’s Park 4-0, a certain Henrik Ojamaa smashing home a debut goal.

    His overall record in charge of Motherwell reads three matches in total, Motherwell winning two and drawing one. ‘Well have scored six and conceded just the one. There have been six cautions dished out in those three matches, five of them to a man wearing Claret and Amber and zero dismissals.

    He had a busy season in 2012/13, with some high profile matches including Celtic’s 5-0 win over Dundee at Celtic Park, Spain U17s wins against both Poland and Azerbaijan and the UEFA Europa League qualifier between Inter Baku and JK Trans Narva of Estonia.

    Already this term he has taken charge of Inverness Caledonian Thistle’s opening day win over St Mirren in the highlands with Saints reduced to ten men after David van Zanten was sent for an early bath. That and Hibs 2-1 win at Rugby Park a few weeks ago.

    Coincidentally, Kevin was in Russia the same time ‘Well faced Kuban Krasnodar. He was appointed to take charge of FC Rubin Kazan vs Randers in the second leg tie of the 3rd Qualifying Round of the Europa League

    He has also been in Croatia on Europa League duty when he handled Lokomotiva Zagreb’s match with Dinamo Minsk, managed by ex ‘Well defender Bob Maaskant. The Belarusian side ran out 3-2 winners.

    Slightly less glamorous, he also had Dundee’s 1-0 win over Alloa in the Ramsden’s Cup two weeks ago.

    Kevin will be ably assisted by Graham Chambers and Douglas Rose with George Salmond handed 4th Official duties.

    TV: Johansson celebrates Saints win

    Jonatan Johansson paid tribute to the first-team players who helped ‘Well to their first win in six weeks.

    The Finn had the luxury off adding the likes of Paul Lawson, Lionel Ainsworth and Adam Cummins to his squad and all three contributed to a much better showing from the young Steelmen side.

    That additional experience, coupled with some fine individual performances from the likes of Ross Stewart and Jack Leitch, laid the foundations for the success.

    And Johansson hopes the win will help kick-start the season ahead of Sunday’s SFA Youth Cup clash with East Fife.

    [pullquote]There were a lot of players that have played their best game for me, and they were helped by the first team players who came here to play tonight on a difficult surface with no complaints.[/pullquote]

    Speaking to MFC TV, Johansson said: “There were a lot of players that have played their best game for me, and they were helped by the first team players who came here to play tonight on a difficult surface with no complaints.

    “It was a very professional performance.

    “We’ve got players who have great delivery from set-pieces and that showed tonight when Leitch put the ball in for our first goal. It was great for Dom to get it and it settled us down as it was a little scrappy before that; it helped give us a platform to build on.

    “The second goal was a great goals and great work again from Dom. There was a good deep run from Lawson to open it up and we don’t do that often enough. Dom saw that run and although he didn’t play it to him, he used it as a decoy, cut inside and did really well to slide in Moore who had a great finish.

    “We can now look ahead to the cup game on Sunday and hopefully start a good run in the Cup.”

    Motherwell U20s 2 – 0 St Mirren U20s

    Motherwell Under 20s ended a four game losing streak with a hard-fought 2-0 victory over St Mirren this evening.

    The Steelmen hadn’t tasted success since their opening day win at Rugby Park six weeks ago, but a goal in either half handed Jonatan Johansson a much-needed boost.

    Dom Thomas opened the scoring after eleven minutes, before Craig Moore grabbed his fifth of the campaign twenty-five minutes from time to seal the win.

    Saints weren’t without their chances, Ross Stewart having to make a string of excellent saves throughout the ninety minutes.

    Motherwell had a more experience feel about them with the likes of Paul Lawson, Lionel Ainsworth and Adam Cummins drafted in from the team that lost to Hibs one week ago. Jonatan Johansson opted for five changes in total and it had the desired effect right from the off.

    The hosts made the better start and scored with their first real attack. Having won a corner from a deflected Craig Moore shot, Jack Leitch whipped a terrific ball towards the back post where Cummins was lurking.

    The defender crashed a header off the crossbar but Dom Thomas was well placed to prod into the net from close range – his first of the new season.

    Both teams traded half-chances with Ainsworth firing a volley just wide of the post after Lewis Morgan had forced Ross Stewart into the first save of the match.

    It was actually the first of many for the Scotland Under 19s goalie – his best perhaps came on the 20th minute. Anton Brady collected some thirty yards out and his crashing effort was heading in under the crossbar but for a last ditch hand to turn it over.

    His next came twelve minutes later when his namesake Jordan managed to wriggle clear of David Ferguson but his low shot was again brilliantly turned around by the Steelmen stopper from point-blank range.

    Saints upped their efforts in search of a leveler and Jordan Stewart was again denied, this time by a stunning last-ditch block inside the six-yard box by Jack Leitch.

    ‘Well managed to weather the storm though and had a decent chance of their own before the interval. Leitch was again involved, sending a superb ball out to the left flank for Thomas whose first time cross was pinpoint for Cadden but he screwed it over.

    Ross Stewart was the star of the first-half for ‘Well and he picked up where he left off as the second got underway. He was on hand to deny Jon Scullion just three minutes after the restart, the big striker’s fearsome drive tipped over the crossbar at the expense of a corner which was eventually hooked clear.

    Saints had enjoyed the majority of possession with ‘Well content to hit on the counter attack; utilising the creativity of Lawson and Leitch combined with the pace of Ainsworth, Thomas and Moore.

    And they all combined for Motherwell’s decisive second goal on the 65th minute. Thomas was the principle architect though, collecting a Lawson pass, dribbling past three tackles before slipping in Craig Moore who lashed it high past Kieran Hughes and into the net.

    Saints tried hard to get back into the game but chances either flew wide of the post, blazed over the bar or were straight at Ross Stewart.

    Johansson introduced Steven Higgins and Paul McCafferty late in the game but it ended 2-0; ‘Well delighted to get back to winning ways ahead of Sunday’s Cup clash with East Fife.

    Motherwell: Stewart, Cadden, Ferguson, Cummins, Neill, Leitch, Ainsworth, Lawson, Moore, Thomas (McCafferty – 81mins), Shirkie (Higgins – 71mins)

    Subs Not Used: Currie, Hall, McCall, Mackin, Anderson

    TV: McCall delighted with three points

    ‘Well boss Stuart McCall was pleased with his side after beating St Mirren 1-0 in Paisley this afternoon.

    John Sutton scored the game’s only goal after thirty-eight minutes, heading Zaine Francis-Angol’s cross through Cornell and into the net.

    As has been the case for the previous two matches against Partick Thistle and Kilmarnock, the Steelmen had numerous chances to make the game safe by failed to do so.

    However, Saints rarely threatened Lee Hollis’ goal despite Motherwell’s slender advantage, as the Fir Parkers held on for their third clean sheet of the campaign this season.

    [pullquote]If you look at the chances created, the only concern is when we are ahead, we need to kill teams off.[/pullquote]

    “The three points where merited over the piece,” McCall told MFC TV after the match.

    “If you look at the chances created, the only concern is when we are ahead, we need to kill teams off.

    “We had it last weekend against Kilmarnock and the week prior against Partick Thistle and again today.

    “We went one on one, we’ve hit the bar, Bob’s flashed one wide, we’ve passed up good chances to shoot when we have been in good positions and it would be nice if we could go two up and be able to relax a little bit.

    “We can take confidence from another clean sheet into another tough fixture at Tannadice next Sunday.”
