Motherwell getting their excuse in early.
Motherwell are down to "bare bones" after defender Jake Carroll suffered a serious injury in Tuesday's Scottish Cup last-16 replay defeat by St Mirren, says manager Stephen Robinson.
Carroll, 28, went off injured in the closing moments of an epic tie, in which his side came back from 4-1 down before losing on penalties.
It means Robinson is now without seven players from his first-team squad.
"Jake has got a serious injury. It doesn't look good at all," he said.
"We're down to bare bones now."
I thought that was our excuse But if I remember they played virtually a reserve team against us last season at NDP and still took the points. Young Hamilton will be available for this. Im sorry I still wouldnt play him but he will be alongside Want I assume. He's just not ready IMO. Dont know who else will be back for us McGowan doubtful I’m thinking. So overall we are in no better a position than Motherwell except the Well have had a really tough midweek game and lost it too boot. We need 3 points (dont we always) so lets hope for a decent turn out.
