Stephen Welsh is developing a taste for spending his Sunday’s at Ibrox.
Last month he was there on successive weekends, keeping an eye on how Celtic are getting on.
Yesterday he put those spying trips to good use as his loan club Motherwell pulled off a 3-2 win.
Welsh was immense for 56 minutes before going off injured. As he lay getting treatment from the physio they were both showered by missiles thrown from the Union Bears.
The same section of fans that threw of full glass bottles at Matt O’Riley and Vil Sinisalo.
That group of fans seem immune from punishment from the Ibrox club. It seems that the more they get away with the more empowered they become.
WELSH- JUST LIKE CLASSIC CAMERON-VICKERS
Welsh controlled the tempo of the first half, playing on the left of the Motherwell defence.
His positioning was perfect, he was never rushed or rash. Think peak Cameron Carter-Vickers in a claret and amber top.
A slip from Paul McGinn allowed Youssef Chermiti to pull a goal back.
Watching the last 35 minutes plus 10 minutes of Clancy time must have been agony on the Motherwell bench. The final whistle brought scenes of joy and relief.
What about Andy haliday any live footage a him ?

Ibrox quickly emptied at the final whistle, except for one corner.
The Motherwell players were quickly over to celebrate with their fans.
After taking one point from their five previous matches they are seven points clear of Hibs in the race for fourth place. The guarantee of a place in the UEFA Conference qualifiers.
After the celebrations there was the long walk back to the dressing room.
Inside the bowels of Ibrox, surrounded by the fabled oak panneled corridors Welsh couldn’t hold back his joy.
Motherwell employee Andy Halliday will be on Clyde Super Scoreboard tonight sharing his thoughts on Sunday’s Ibrox drama.
You can take the bhoy out of Coatbridge !
