Clearly rusty with his trusted ‘the lads are all obviously disappointed’ scrip James Tavernier has vowed to pick out the skeletons of his side’s 2-1 defeat from Motherwell.
Back in September Tav was rattling off the script every couple of days for his club’s in-house TV channel, rotating around five or six cliches about how the lads were bitterly disappointed y’know, how the lads will bounce back y’know and of course how they’ll keep on fighting y’know.
After hammering Hearts and winning at Kilmarnock the stage was set for Motherwell to fall to the Clement Revolution with the Belgian soccer visionary having a 100% home record in the SPFL.
Motherwell were chasing an unlikely win to push their claims for a top six place with Theo Bair silencing the loyal bears with a ninth minute opener.

It took until the hour mark for Euan Anderson on VAR duty to prompt Alan Muir into awarding a penalty which Captain Disappointed smashed into the roof of the net.
The expected goal rush never arrived, instead in the 75th minute when Tav was up the park chasing personal glory Dan Casey headed in unmarked from the area that most team’s would have their right back in.
Muir ordered eight minutes of added time, extended in to 10 extra minutes but there were no further penalties leaving Tav and Mister Clement to serve up the post match excuses.
Skeletons ! Ah ,so there are dead carcasses in the land of downtown Govan ? You see , nothing can be kept a secret for too long in Scottish football …no matter how much the SMSM is on message !
