    Glasgow City next for Motherwell

    Glasgow City next for Motherwell

    A run of difficult SWPL1 matches for Motherwell continues on Wednesday night, as Glasgow City are the opponents for Donald Jennow’s side.

    The match at Wishaw Sports Centre kicks off at 7.30pm.

    The form guide

    Motherwell are on a run of four defeats, albeit against challenging opposition.

    Back-to-back league and Scottish Cup semi-final defeats to high-flying Hibernian were followed up by a narrow away loss at Rangers, and then defeat at the hands of Celtic away at the weekend.

    The women of steel started the second half of the season in scintillating form, winning five and drawing one, and are looking for a way to return to that form.

    Glasgow City need little introduction, as the perennial champions. A 32nd straight league victory on Wednesday night would land them the title and would maintain a 100% record in the league season, with three games to spare.

    With 81 league goals scored and six conceded, the leaders are also involved in UEFA Women’s Champions League action currently, holding a 2-0 away win aggregate lead over Brondby ahead of the second leg of the last 16 next week.

    Head to head

    The two teams have faced once earlier this season, with Glasgow City 8-0 home winners in April.

    Another away trip lies in wait on 17 November in the final game of the league season.

    Manager mindful of test ahead

    “Facing Glasgow City is obviously a huge task for any team in this league,” head coach Donald Jennow said.

    “We have to go into the match with a positive mindset. We are prepared for what they’ll throw at us, and it’s important we stick to what we’ve discussed and see where it takes us.”

    Match programme

    Next up: Rangers

    Next up: Rangers

    A trip to Ibrox to take on Rangers lies in wait on Sunday.

    With Steven Gerrard’s side in UEFA Europa League action on Thursday night, the first trip to Glasgow of the season has been put back 24 hours. Kick off is at 3pm.

    Tale of the tape

    It’s second versus third, with Rangers losing top spot over the weekend as Celtic beat Ross County, and they drew 1-1 at Hearts.

    That draw ended a run of four straight wins on league business, allowing Celtic to jump ahead on goals scored.

    Motherwell’s 3-0 home loss to Aberdeen at the weekend chipped away at the advantage held in third spot, with Aberdeen now just a point behind.

    Nevertheless, the Steelmen have still won five of their last seven league outings.

    Head to head

    Rangers have won three of the last five encounters between the two sides, with two high-scoring draws at Fir Park making up the other results.

    Motherwell’s last league point at Ibrox was gained back in April 2017, with Louis Moult netting early in a 1-1 draw.

    The Steelmen’s last victory in the south side of Glasgow of course came in May 2015, with Lee Erwin, Stephen McManus and Lionel Ainsworth netting in the 3-1 Premiership play-off victory.

    Tickets are available online now or from the Fir Park ticket office, and must be purchased in advance.

    Motherwell suffer defeat at Celtic in SWPL1

    Motherwell suffer defeat at Celtic in SWPL1

    Motherwell suffered defeat at the hands of Celtic in SWPL1 on Sunday.

    A double from Sarah Ewens, and further goals from Rachel Donaldson, Keeva Kennan and Josephine Giard gave the third-placed side a 5-0 win.

    Donald Jennow’s side went to K-Park hoping for a repeat of the performance which saw them pick up a 0-0 draw on their last visit to East Kilbride earlier in the season.

    But after repelling early pressure from their hosts, they would go behind 25 minutes into the match when Donaldson poked home the opener from close range.

    Giard then doubled Celtic’s advantage with a shot from a tight angle three minutes before the interval, before Keenan and Ewens would go on to add the other three goals in the second half.

    Glasgow City travel to Wishaw Sports Centre in the next league encounter on Wednesday night. Kick off is at 7.30pm.

    Celtic next for ‘Well in SWPL1

    Celtic next for ‘Well in SWPL1

    Motherwell travel to K-Park on Sunday to play their third match in a week in an important SPWL1 clash with Celtic.

    The women of steel will face a tough test against a talented side who sit comfortably in third spot in the table.

    ‘Well suffered a rueful defeat midweek, losing out by a single goal to Rangers, who were reduced to 10 players for the last half hour of the match.

    Kick-off is at midday at K-Park in East Kilbride.

    LEAGUE POSITIONS

    Celtic – third in SWPL1 – 34 points

    Motherwell – fifth in SWPL1 – 18 points

    WHAT THEY SAID

    Head coach Donald Jennow admits Wednesday night was hard to take, but he expects a good reaction.

    “It was wasn’t good enough collectively as a group, but we have put it behind us. Our full focus is on Celtic.

    “They are a team full of good players, but we believe we can cause them problems.”

    Rachel Connor, who scored on her debut on Wednesday night has full confidence the team can get back to winning ways.

    “They are a difficult team to break down, but we know our strengths and how we can win the match.

    “The girls have been great since I came in, it is a great environment to be in.

    “We want to get as high up the table as possible.”

    Motherwell lose to Aberdeen

    Motherwell passed up the chance to strengthen their grip on third place as Aberdeen eventually cruised to a comfortable win to haul themselves to a point behind the Fir Park men.

    With the Dons sitting fourth, the Steelmen were aiming to increase the gap between themselves and Derek McInnes’ men.

    However, an early goal from Sam Cosgrove and a quick double from Niall McGinn and Zak Vyner at the start of the second half killed off the home side’s ambitions.

    It might have been so different had Liam Donnelly been free of suspension as in the early stages, his presence was missed at both ends.

    Within five minutes his deputy penalty taker James Scott failed to score from the spot.

    Then 10 minutes later and with Peter Hartley off receiving treatment, Aberdeen exploited the defensive gap to take the lead and the initiative.

    In an otherwise unchanged ‘Well line-up, Chris Long was rewarded with a starting place, following his goal after coming off the bench against St Mirren.

    In an explosive start Joe Lewis was the first ‘keeper in action, firmly holding James Scott’s curling drive from 18 yards.

    The Dons’ keeper was in the thick of the action a minute later. Under pressure from Sherwin Seedorf, Shay Logan was short with his pass back.

    With Long racing to intercept, Lewis’ attempt at clearing the ball only succeeded in bringing down the ‘Well striker and concede a penalty.

    James Scott’s effort had power and height, but Lewis redeemed himself with a sensational one handed save to turn the ball onto his bar and over.

    James Wilson then tested Mark Gillespie with a powerful drive from 30 yards, which the ‘Well ‘keeper comfortably beat away from his goal.

    A minute later a similar thumping effort from Wilson crashed off Peter Hartley’s head forcing the ‘Well captain off the field for treatment.

    Unable to continue and before Bevis Mugabi could take his place, Aberdeen had punished the 10 men to open the scoring.

    Cosgrove powered his way beyond Barry Maguire and into the penalty box before deftly clipping the ball over Gillespie and under the bar for a terrific finish.

    Despite the setback the Fir Park side remained composed as they faced the prospect of breaking through the Dons’ five man defensive wall.

    In the 21st minute the home side came close to the equaliser when Long nipped in front of Lewis at the corner of the six yard box but from a very tight angle he rattled the ball off the outside of the ‘keeper’s post.

    Seven minutes later Cosgrove almost produced a copy of his opener. This time, though, Declan Gallagher matched his run into the box before his timely tackle deprived the Dons’ striker of the ball.

    Although tight at the back, Aberdeen’s distribution from defence was sloppy and ‘Well enjoyed plenty of possession in the middle of the park – but half-time arrived with no real pressure on Lewis’ goal.

    The Dons were perfectly placed for the second half, tightly holding onto their lead with the prospect of sneaking a second on the break as ‘Well pushed forward in search of an equaliser.

    And the second goal duly arrived eight minutes into the half – as ‘Well contributed to their own downfall.

    A series of short passes 50 yards from their own goal culminated in McGinn robbing Alan Campbell and the Northern Ireland international made the most of the chance by curling a stunning effort high beyond Gillespie’s reach and into the ‘keeper’s left hand corner.

    A couple of minutes later Jermaine Hylton replaced Scott but by then the Pittodrie side and their fans were on song and on their way to a comfortable win.

    As ‘Well wilted Zak Vyner hit a low 25 yards drive ball in off the bottom of the post to make it 3-0 and literally wrap up the points.

    On the hour mark Barry Maguire made way for Devante Cole who arrived in time to see Liam Polworth drive a long and powerful effort just wide of goal.

    Polworth then slipped the ball through to Long who turned McKenna at the edge of the box only to fire over the crossbar.

    From the other corner of the penalty box Hylton fed the ball to Long and although his angled drive was on target it was a comfortable save for Lewis.

    The Steelmen kept plugging away and ten minutes from time Cole got the better of McKenna at the edge of the six yard area to turn and force a shot which was blocked by the ‘keeper.

    It was then Gillespie’s turn to produce a fine save low to his left, to deny Vyner a second goal.

    Not to be outdone, Lewis was at full stretch to push away Cole’s angled drive, as the goalmouth action continued until the final whistle.
