'WELL SUNGLASSES
Buy on-line for just £6.00

2.30pm

Quick update. The club confirm that there is no restriction on the number of semi-final tickets that can be purchased. A season ticket holder will need to surrender voucher 7 from the back of his/her book, but can then purchase as many tickets as he/she likes.

However, there will be no free/subsidised buses this time.

In summary then, tickets are on sale from the ticket office for season ticket holders only tomorrow (9am - 5pm) and Saturday (9am - 3pm and 5pm - 6.30pm).  Remaining tickets will then go on general sale from Monday and for the rest of the week (9am - 5pm, and until 6.30pm on Tue and Thu).

Prices are £18 for the East Stand (behind the goal) and £22 for the South Stand.  There is a family section in the East Stand where ticket are £15 for adults and £5 for juveniles, but there is a maximum of 2 juvenilles per adult and juvenilles will not be allowed entry without being accompanied by an adult.  There are no other concession tickets available.

 The club are again offering a corporate hospitality package - click here for details.

Referee for the semi-final will be none other than Mike McCurry.  Aw naw!

Keith Lasley will miss the first two league matches after the split following his yellow card against Dunfermline last week.

Some early ticket news regarding our cup semi-final with Rangers a week on Saturday. We understand that Motherwell will receive an allocation of around 10,000 tickets, which will be delivered to the club this afternoon. They will go on sale tomorrow to season ticket holders first, with no restriction on the amount purchased.

Shaun Fagan will miss the Hampden semi-final, and indeed the rest of the season, after being stretchered off during Monday night's Under-21 game with a knee injury.  It was initially feared that Shaun had suffered a serious cruciate ligament injury, but a scan found cartilage damage to his knee.   The 19-year-old was quoted in the Sun as saying:
"It was my knee that went.  I've had a scan and I'm out for the rest of the season.  It's the worst news I could have had with the semi-final coming up at Hampden, but there's little I can do about it.  The cartilage has been damaged, but the good thing from my point of view is that I don't need an operation.  The specialist said it could have been a lot worse because of the way I twisted my knee.  He thought I might have done my cruciate.

"It's been one of those seasons.  I won't forget it in a hurry.  I wanted to be at Hampden - I'll just need to do it as a spectator."

The Under-21s drew 1-1 with their Livingston counterparts last night, with Stephen Pearson scoring our goal.

Team: Woods, Ramsay, Clarke, MacDonald, Quinn, Kinniburgh (Higgins), Wright, Black (Barkey), Clarkson, Offiong, Pearson.
Subs not used: Ewings, Bell, Crawley.
