    Semi-final action on Sunday

    Semi-final action on Sunday

    Motherwell take on Hibernian in the semi-final of the SSE Scottish Women’s Cup on Sunday.

    THE FORM GUIDE

    The two teams met just over a week ago and although Donald Jennow’s side lost 2-0, he will take encouragement from their disciplined performance.

    Motherwell have had a positive first season in the Scottish top flight. The women of steel have have already secured their place in the league next season with six games to play and have a fight on with Rangers and Spartans to try and finish fourth behind Glasgow City, Hibs and Celtic.

    Despite that, ‘Well will go into the match as underdogs, considering Hibernian’s impressive form this season.

    The Edinburgh outfit last tasted defeat five games ago and that was at league leaders Glasgow City. Since that loss, Grant Scott’s side have scored 24 goals and have yet to concede.

    HOW THEY GOT HERE

    Both sides entered the competition in third round and have convincingly won the three games to get them to this stage.

    Motherwell have yet to concede a goal, seeing off Partick Thistle 2-0, Inverness CT 5-0, and then beating Queen’s Park 5-0 in the quarter-final.

    Current holders Hibs have been in formidable cup form too. They started the defence of their trophy with a 5-0 win over Stirling University, followed by a 7-1 win over Edinburgh rivals Hearts and a 3-0 win over Hamilton Accies in the quarters.

    ON THE TASK IN HAND

    “It’s an opportunity. The girls have worked incredibly hard to get themselves the opportunity of a semi-final and I want them to go out and approach it as an opportunity – nothing more than that.

    “It’s a chance to go out and show what they are capable of and hopefully reap the rewards of that.”, said head coach Donald Jennow.

    Defender Georgie Rafferty added “As a player, these are the games you want to be playing in.  There’s no denying Hibs are a fantastic side but you’re getting the opportunity to test yourself against some of the best in the country so we are looking forward to it.”

    WATCH THE MATCH

    Forthbank Stadium in Stirling is the venue for the match on Sunday. Kick off is at 3.30pm. Entry is £5 for adults, £2 for concessions and U12’s go free.

    Reserves draw with St Mirren

    Reserves draw with St Mirren

    Motherwell and St Mirren played out a 2-2 draw at Broadwood on Monday in the SPFL Reserve League.

    An experienced Steelmen side fought back from a goal down to lead 2-1, courtesy of a Christopher Long double.

    However, an injury time leveller from a young Saints side meant Maurice Ross’ men had to be content with a share of the spoils.

    Motherwell were able to call on several first team players with Bevis Mugabi, Mark O’Hara, Jamie Semple, Jermaine Hylton, Christian Ilic, Christy Manzinga and Christopher Long all named in the starting team. Saints’ notable names included Ethan Erhahon and Oan Djorkaeff.

    It was a fairly uneventful first half, with the quality of the match negatively impacted by a swirling wind in Cumbernauld.

    Finlay Gray had the first attempt of the match, his shot from distance forcing Peter Morrison to beat the ball away. At the other end, a Long shot trickled wide before Manzinga brought out a good save from David Wilson, who turned around his fizzing shot from a tight angle.

    Both teams continued trade both possession and half chances, with Cameron Breadner again forcing a decent block from Morrison and Gray slicing a cutback inches wide of goal when he perhaps should have scored.

    For ‘Well, Manzinga almost repeated his acrobatic effort against Gretna with a spectacular bicycle-kick attempt from just inside the box, but it was blocked en route.

    Whilst the game lacked a cutting edge in the final third during the first half, Saints got their noses in front with the first attempt of the second period.

    Motherwell failed to stop a deep cross from the left following a throw-in and substitute Jay Henderson got above Jack Brown to send an impressive header past Morrison.

    To their credit, ‘Well responded in impressive fashion and equalised almost immediately.

    Mark O’Hara’s searching diagonal ball found Manzinga in some space on the right-hand side of the penalty box. His low cross was inch-perfect for Long, who had time and space at the far post to slot home from close range.

    That sparked ‘Well into action and Mugabi had a header from an Ilic corner go just over the crossbar, before Wilson denied Long his second after Manzinga neatly pulled it back and the former Evertonian youngster who fired low at goal.

    The hosts were starting to dominate the game and almost scored a terrific counter-attacking goal when Hylton started and almost finished in style, only for his outside-of-the-right-boot curler to go inches wide of target.

    Saints’ efforts were hindered when Gray was ordered off for a second bookable offence, putting in a heavy tackle on Hylton after being cautioned in the first half for a pull on Manzinga.

    With ten minutes left on the clock, it looked as if Long had won it for the home side, collecting a positive pass from sub Adam Kettings before thundering a 25-yard rocket past Wilson into the top corner.

    However, in added-on time, a free kick into the area was fumbled by Morrison, allowing Carter Frew to prod the ball into an empty net to earn his side a point.

    Motherwell: Morrison, Cornelius, Brown, Muir, Mugabi, O’Hara, Manzinga, Ilic (Kettings), Long, Hylton, Semple

    Subs Not Used: Connolly, Starrs, MacIver, Trialist

    Mugabi named in Uganda squad

    Mugabi named in Uganda squad

    Bevis Mugabi has been called-up for the Ugandan national team for their match against Ethiopia this Sunday.

    The 24-year-old arrived last month from Yeovil, but has yet to feature with Declan Gallagher and Peter Hartley both enjoying a rich vein of form.

    Mugabi has been a regular for the Cranes since making his debut against São Tomé and Príncipe in Namboole in 2018.

    He has gone on to earn a further six caps, including several appearances in this summer’s Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt when he lined up against Mo Salah, Sadio Mané, Kalidou Koulibaly and Britt Assombalonga amongst others.

    The international friendly will take place in Addis Adaba, the Ethiopia capital, this Sunday afternoon.

    The match will take place at Broadwood Stadium; Cumbernauld with kick-off at 2pm. Entry to the match is free of charge.

    Declan Gallagher called into Scotland squad

    Declan Gallagher called into Scotland squad

    Declan Gallagher has been called into the Scotland squad for the Euro 2020 qualifying double header with Russia and San Marino.

    The Motherwell defender, a standout for the side since his summer move from Livingston, has been rewarded for his form with his first call-up to the national squad.

    Gallagher, 28, leads the Ladbrokes Premiership for aerial duels won and has contributed heavily to the seven clean sheets kept so far in the 2019/20 season.

    He becomes the first Motherwell player called to the full squad since the selection of Chris Cadden for friendlies against Peru and Mexico in the summer of 2018.
