Full Match Replay Celtic v Motherwell

He joined the 20-goal club for Motherwell as he added three more goals to his tally. Your February player of the month enjoyed a fruitful month during February, helping his side perform admirably. Playing five matches, the team scored ten goals and picked up ten points from a possible 12. Wins over Dundee United, Aberdeen and St Mirren were backed up by an eventful 1-1 draw with title-chasing Rangers, despite being down to ten men for the latter stages of the match.

Stephen O'Donnell says it hurt last Saturday to suffer defeat against Dundee, and believes it's about a positive reaction which has started this week in training.  The defender breaks down his season as a whole, speaking about his development and approach to the new style.

Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou says the remaining nine games will be filled with challenges and it's very unlikely any top-six side will be unbeaten, and has laid down the challenge to his team to go and catch any of the sides above them in the table.  Askou is looking forward to going up against Martin O'Neill, but respect aside, the Dane has full belief that if his side perform to their top level, they will win the match.

It was nine games unbeaten for Motherwell as they headed back to Dens Park to play their rearranged match against Dundee.  Near 1400 Motherwell fans made the trip in the sunshine to see if the Steelmen could extend their run to ten games unbeaten. But facing off against a Dundee side on the up under Stephen Pressley, it was never going to be an easy afternoon. Tawanda Maswanhise and Lukas Fadinger went close to opening the scoring, but it was the hosts who opened the scoring in the first-half. Now with something to hang onto, Dundee defended their penalty box robustly, and it would take some magic from Callum Slattery to level the game as we entered the latter stages. But being level didn't last long, with Dundee scoring minutes later to retake the advantage and eventually inflict Motherwell's fourth league defeat of the season. The travelling crowd were full of life at full time, giving the players and staff plenty of encouragement despite the defeat. And with a trip to Celtic up next, the stakes couldn't be higher.
