    Ally Maxwell inducted to Hall of Fame

    Ally Maxwell is the second inductee to the Motherwell FC Hall of Fame.

    Having come through the ranks at the club, the goalkeeper made 153 appearances over eight years and was a member of the 1991 Scottish Cup winning squad.

    His performance in that final was vital in the team claiming silverware, soldiering on after a heavy collision with John Clark which was later discovered to have caused a ruptured spleen.

    Joining the club in 1981 from Fir Park Boys Club, he was given his first taste of top team action by Bobby Watson in April 1984.

    He played every minute in the run to the final in 1991, before leaving the club in 1992 for Rangers, via a short loan spell at Bolton Wanderers.

    He will be formally inducted at a dinner at the Bothwell Bridge Hotel on Saturday, 23 November, along with Willie Pettigrew and three others.

    Hosted by Tam Cowan, limited tickets for the event are now on sale online. Adult tickets are £45, with kids tickets £22.

    Next up: Livingston

    Motherwell host their second Ladbrokes Premiership in four days on Saturday, as Livingston visit Fir Park.

    The Steelmen jumped back up to third in the league with victory over Kilmarnock in midweek.

    Kick off at Fir Park is at 3pm.

    Tale of the tape

    Both sides are in the top six going into the weekend encounter, with Motherwell sitting six points ahead of sixth-placed Livingston.

    Victory over Kilmarnock arrested a two-game losing streak for Stephen Robinson’s side, and took them to six wins out of 11 in the league this season.

    Livingston were 2-0 up at Hibernian on Wednesday night before being pegged back at the death to draw 2-2.

    They’ve won one of their last five – a spectacular 2-0 home win over Celtic. Draws against Hearts and Hibernian followed, as well as away defeats to Hamilton Academical and Kilmarnock.

    Head to head

    Since their return to the top flight in the summer of 2018, Motherwell and Livingston have faced each other six times.

    Five have come in the league, with Motherwell winning two. Two draws and a home win for the Lions have also been registered.

    Motherwell also claimed victory away in the Betfred Cup last season, winning 1-0 in West Lothian.

    Ticket information

    Tickets are available online now or from the Fir Park ticket office. You can also pay at the gate.

    Adult £24 / £20

    Manager: ‘We can still we better’

    “We’re third. We’re really happy with it. But I still think we can be better.”

    Stephen Robinson speaks after Motherwell’s win over Kilmarnock.

    Motherwell go third with win over Kilmarnock

    Motherwell claimed another three points and jumped back to third in the league with a 2-1 home win over Kilmarnock.

    Liam Donnelly and Devante Cole’s goals, sandwiched by a speculative Dominic Thomas effort, got the Steelmen back to winning ways.

    In a return to the more familiar 4-5-1 shape, Jermaine Hylton joined the attack with defender Bevis Mugabi dropping out as the central defence went down from three to two.

    Kilmarnock had pre-match doubts over defender Dario Del Fabro after sustaining a knock at the weekend, but the Italian was named in Angelo Alessio’s starting team. But, late on in the warmup, he was ruled out and Connor Johnson was called in from the bench.

    Motherwell had impressed at Ibrox at the weekend before ultimately losing out, and the confidence from the showing against a bigger-budget side played through into the opening exchanges.

    Positive attacking play at pace had the Fir Park crowd’s spirits raised and the breakthrough would come in slightly controversial circumstances after 15 minutes.

    Christopher Long got the better of the defence as he burst through on goal, with Alex Bruce making a desperate last-ditch lunge to stop him going one-on-one with the goalkeeper.

    The defender felt he got a touch on the ball as Long was scythed down, but referee Don Robertson was right on the spot to award a free kick and show the red card to the Kilmarnock man.

    Motherwell would immediately profit. Donnelly, taking a brief break from the incredible scoring start to the season, rolled the free kick under the wall and into the net, despite goalkeeper Branescu’s best efforts to keep it out.

    The hosts continued to press, harassing Killie as they tried to play out from the back and launching wave after wave of attack.

    Then, with the clock just past the half hour mark, Kilmarnock would get an unexpected route back into the game.

    Thomas cut in from the right and was still a long way from goal as he fizzed a ball in low across the face of goal. Hartley couldn’t get there and the ball sailed into the bottom left corner of the net.

    The pace of Motherwell’s attacking play slowed slightly, even if the urgency didn’t as they continued to press to go in at the break ahead, but the visitors stood firm.

    Stephen Robinson’s men set out with the same attacking intent in the second period and got the goal that would prove decisive with nine minutes of the half gone.

    Jake Carroll got to the byline on the left and, with players queuing up, Cole rose highest to nod the ball into the ground and into the net.

    Motherwell continued to retain the bulk of possession but Kilmarnock continued to threaten on the counter, putting the hearts of the mouths of home supporters on a number of occasions.

    With the clock running down, Mark Gillespie had to keep out a goalbound effort from Eamonn Brophy, and James Scott saw a late counter attacking effort wasted.

    The Steelmen though would hold out, jumping back to third in the league.

    Keith Lasley looks ahead to Kilmarnock

    Keith Lasley discusses the performance at Rangers, the importance of home form and taking on a difficult opponent in Kilmarnock when he spoke to the broadcast media on Tuesday.

    Here’s what the assistant manager had to say ahead of the match.

    On the performance at Rangers

    “It was a good performance. We knew we’d have to be disciplined and play a certain shape and system. And you know, I think Rangers in recent weeks have had a way of steamrollering teams, in terms of scoring a lot of goals.

    “So we knew what we were going up against. But I thought the boys delivered the plan that we had on an individual basis.

    “I think it was a lot of good performances. So I think for us improving is winning. We want to get better all the time and I think in terms of going to a place like that as I said, I think it was a big improvement and we just take heart from that. What we need to make sure is there is still more improvement to be done.

    “There were some really good individual performances, but we believe there’s more to come from these guys and that’s our challenge now to keep pushing.

    “It showed you the fine margins that were in the game. That it was a set play they ended up deciding the game. We were up against a good team and for us to go there and show what we did, we take heart from that because it was a good performance.

    “We’ve got two massive games at home now and it’s up to us now to use those positives, continue to improve the things that were good and take that into these two home games.

    “What we can control here is performances. That was a good performance, sometimes you don’t get that result.

    “But as I said improvement is a big thing for us here, both on an individual basis in terms of the players themselves, and the team.

    “If that happens, results come. We’re gonna need another top two performances in these next two games.”

    On home form

    “I think the home form in general, regardless of who it is against, is important. I don’t think that’s a team out there that will have a successful season without having a decent home record.

    “I think it’s where, in front of your own supporters, you set out what you want to be. We want this place to be a hard place to come and people talking about Fir Park and Motherwell being a hard place to go.

    “So it’s up to us to create that atmosphere here and create that environment for other teams to come in to so. That’s what we are trying to do.”

    On Kilmarnock

    “They are up to third now and they’ve been on a really good run. We know that challenge. We know the challenge of being back here at home and playing in front of our own supporters. It’s up to us to entertain them and and put on a good performance.

    “So that’s a challenge that’s there. As a player sometimes you come off a game at Ibrox in front of a big crowd, and it’s been a big mental and physical effort.

    “We have to go again. We have to reassess the boys and make sure we’re ready to go again.”
