Motherwell have hit out at the kick-off time for their Premier Sports Cup clash with Celtic – and insist the holders aren’t happy either.
The broadcaster and main sponsor for the Cup has scheduled both halves of the Old Firm to play their respective ties on the same evening. Well host Celtic at Fir Park on Wednesday, October 19 but with an early kick-off of 6:15pm so the channel can also later show Rangers’ quarter-final home clash with Dundee at 8:15pm.
This hasn’t gone down well with Motherwell chief Alan Burrows, who insists it simply isn’t fair on either set of supporters. He revealed his club asked the broadcasters to run their game at the same time as Rangers vs Dundee but on another channel. However, his pleas fell on deaf ears.
