Rangers and Motherwell were scheduled to play a bounce game on Friday. Stuart Kettlewell, the manager of Motherwell, is upset that a bounce game against Rangers was called off.
Jack Vale, who made his comeback in Thursday’s 1-0 Premiership loss to Hearts, is one of several players at the Fir Park club attempting to regain match sharpness following injuries or as part of their rehabilitation. Paul McGinn, Callum Slattery, and others are included in that group.
Rangers, who defeated Celtic 3-0 on Thursday, have their own ailments to contend with, but both teams have made an effort to play in order to improve the fitness of those who need it on both sides. Kettlewell has expressed his sadness at the cancellation in detail, but he has also commended the bond he has developed with Rangers this season.
“I must admit, it’s a huge blow that the game isn’t on because I thought we would be in a better position to take that on Friday,” he said. No one is at fault. I’ll emphasize that once more. Actually, it was supposed to be a bounce game against the Rangers, who have been excellent against us this year. We’ve played a few bounce games with them in an attempt to make money for both of us. So far, that has worked out nicely. We’re attempting to do it once more. Unfortunately, though, that won’t happen.
Regarding injuries, Lennon Miller, a vital midfield player, has been sidelined for more than a month due to a minor fracture in his foot. Meanwhile, left-back Steve Seddon and striker Apostolos Stamatelopoulos are questionable for Sunday’s home match against Aberdeen.
“A little disappointing for us with Steve Seddon and Apostolos, two guys I think have done pretty well for us lately,” Kettlewell continued. We must keep evaluating them. Steve Seddon won’t be available on Sunday, in my opinion, and Apostolos falls into the position of serious doubt.
Although I don’t think they will be out for very long due to their injuries, we could have to deal with the possibility of them missing three games in the coming week.
