Motherwell face early must-win in Europe
By: Ian Rose | July 8th, 2009Last season was a disaster for Scotland in Europe. Rangers went out to Hearts Jr. in CL qualifying, Celtic failed to make it past the group stage, and both Motherwell and Queen of the South dropped out of the UEFA Cup without a single win. In terms of UEFA coefficient, Scotland ended up 29th, behind such powerhouse leagues as Bulgaria, Belarus and the mighty Czechs. The Well have a chance to reverse their part of that result today, and will need to if they hope to avoid another very short European campaign. Their home opener against Welsh Llanelli FC ended in a disappointing 1-0 defeat, which they will have to at least equal in Wales to move on. Stephen Craigan and the rest of the boys will need to attack, something they have the ability to do, but after their slow start at home, they have a bit of proving to do.
Good luck to Motherwell. I don’t support your club, but today, you represent the country, and so today I’m a Steelman. Go get em.
