    Preview: Motherwell v Kilmarnock

    There may still be 12 games remaining in the Ladbrokes Premiership, but there is an air of anticipation surrounding Saturday’s clash with Kilmarnock.

    With the two sides currently level on 32 points, and with the same goal difference, ‘Well have the chance to put three points between themselves and their nearest competitors for a top six spot.

    Add to that the fact that both sides have only tasted defeat once since the turn of the year, Saturday’s clash pits two in form sides against one another at Fir Park.

    Stephen Robinson, who knows that Kilmarnock will be tough opponents, is hopeful of seeing his side maintain their strong run of form.

    The ‘Well boss believes that three points could not only stretch the club away from any potential relegation worries, but could present the ‘Well with real top six aspirations.

    In Kilmarnock though, Robinson admits his side come up against a side brimming with confidence and in fine form.

    “I was at Kilmarnock’s game against Dundee and it was a good game, an exciting game and Killie have been on a fantastic run,” the manager said.

    “But so have we. We’ve won four, drawn two and lost just once since the break, so we’ve been quietly doing it whilst other sides have maybe got plaudits.

    “That’s fine though,” he added. “We did the same in the first half of the season and we don’t mind doing that – picking up results and people not making too much of it.”

    Whilst this fixture presents the chance to extend that hold on the top six, Kilmarnock also have a couple of games in hand, so Robinson isn’t getting too carried away.

    “My first priority is to stay in the division,” the Northern Irishman said. “So this is the potential of another three points and making sure that’s a reality.

    “We’re looking forward to it, Killie are on a good run and Steve Clarke’s done a good job there, a really, really good job.”

    [pullquote]Obviously we can look up the way too because it will be a big game in the battle for the top six and keeping our run going.[/pullquote]

    The manager addressed team news ahead of the Premiership encounter too, revealing the extent of Peter Hartley’s injury lay-off.

    He said: “Peter won’t require surgery but he will be out for a minimum of two months. He has a problem with his foot that was rather innocuous when he was jogging in training.”

    Motherwell will also be without Cédric Kipré, who is out through suspension, accumulated by yellow cards.

    One man who will be fit, and will be hugely important for the Fir Park side, is Chris Cadden.

    His start against Dundee in the William Hill Scottish Cup last weekend took the player to the 100-game milestone in claret and amber. A huge achievement for such a young player.

    “It was a brilliant feeling,” the 21-year-old said of making the milestone. “To play 100 games is a brilliant achievement for me. It was a really proud day for me and my family.

    “When I came in, I took each game as it came. The gaffer has trusted me, which I’ve appreciated.

    “Both Mark McGhee and Stephen Robinson have trusted me and hopefully I’ve repaid that trust.”

    Across his 100 games, Cadden has seen it all. From scrapping against relegation at the wrong end of the table, to reaching the Betfred Cup final.

    The team’s form took a minor dip after that appearance at Hampden Park but the squad have returned energised from the winter break, and a bonding trip to Spain.

    “At Motherwell, we are going to have peaks and troughs,” he said. “It’s not always going to be plain sailing or going for second in the league all the time.

    “We are going to have that wee dip. But we’ve come back from it. Having the winter break, the trip to Tenerife done us the world of good and we’ve come back strong.”

    Cadden proud to hit 100-game mark

    Chris Cadden’s dream as a youngster was to be able to make just one appearance in a Motherwell shirt at Fir Park.

    His start against Dundee in the William Hill Scottish Cup last weekend took the player to the 100-game milestone, an achievement he’s rightly proud of.

    “It was a brilliant feeling,” the 21-year-old said of making the milestone. “To play 100 games is a brilliant achievement for me. It was a really proud day for me and my family.

    “When I came in, I took each game as it came. The gaffer has trusted me, which I’ve appreciated.

    Across his 100 games, Cadden has seen it all. From scrapping against relegation at the wrong end of the table, to reaching the Betfred Cup final.

    The team’s form took a minor dip after that appearance at Hampden Park but the squad have returned energised from the winter break, and a bonding trip to Spain.

    Robinson: Another important game

    Stephen Robinson believes Saturday’s clash with Kilmarnock is a big game for a number of reasons.

    The ‘Well boss admits that three points could not only stretch the club away from any potential relegation worries, but could present the ‘Well with real top six aspirations.

    In Kilmarnock though, Robinson’s side come up against tough opposition.

    “I was at Kilmarnock’s game against Dundee and it was a good game, an exciting game and Killie have been on a fantastic run,” the manager said.

    [pullquote]But so have we. We’ve won four, drawn two and lost just once since the break, so we’ve been quietly doing it whilst other sides have maybe got plaudits.[/pullquote]

    “That’s fine though,” he added. “We did the same in the first half of the season and we don’t mind doing that – picking up results and people not making too much of it.”

    With Motherwell and Kilmarnock level on points and with the same goal difference, the Steelmen only find themselves ahead of Killie due to goals scored.

    And the manager is aware that Saturday is a big match.

    “My first priority is to stay in the division,” the Northern Irishman said. “So this is the potential of another three points and making sure that’s a reality.

    [pullquote]Obviously we can look up the way too because it will be a big game in the battle for the top six and keeping our run going.[/pullquote]

    “We’re looking forward to it, Killie are on a good run and Steve Clarke’s done a good job there, a really, really good job.”

    Players react to cup win over Dundee

    Goalscorers Curtis Main and Craig Tanner, along with debutant David Turnbull, spoke after the 2-0 victory over Dundee in the Scottish Cup.

    Curtis Main: “It was a tough game, especially in the first half, but obviously we got our noses in front and from then on I think we were comfortable.”

    Craig Tanner: “Three goals in three appearances against Dundee so if I could play them every week I’d be a happy man. But no, this is my highest goal scoring season which is great.

    “The main thing is that we’re in the next round though and we’re all delighted.”

    David Turnbull: “I’m just buzzing to get on and for us to get the win. I’m thankful to the gaffer for giving me a chance to get my first appearance.”

    Robinson hails complete away performance

    ‘Well boss Stephen Robinson hailed a true team performance as his side progressed to the quarter final of the Scottish Cup.

    Goals from Craig Tanner and Curtis Main secured a 2-0 victory over Dundee at Dens Park, on an afternoon when ‘Well dominated the encounter.

    And the manager was delighted with his teams performance from start to finish, all over the pitch.

    “I think that was the complete away performance,” the Northern Irishman said.

    “We played in their half of the pitch and we played some good football as well. We were well worth our win today.

    “The three boys at the back and the two wing backs were excellent. I don’t think Charles Dunne gets the plaudits he deserves but over the past month or so he’s been terrific for us. As have the whole back line, they give you a base to play from.”

    And on Trevor Carson’s crucial save, the manager added: “It’s only 1-0 at that point and Trevor makes a big save, that turns the game and the crowd get behind us. It shows the importance of keeping him here.”
