Andy Goram's agent says the chances of The Goalie staying at Fir Park are "not good", although he is willing to go back into talks with Pat Nevin.  Goram's agent, Kenny Moyes, said:
"At the moment it would be hard for Motherwell to put together a team with Andy Goram in it because of the way they have been forced to slash their wage bill.  And, although Andy would much prefer to stay at Motherwell at this stage in his career, he must make what he feels is the right move for him.  There´s no doubt he´s still the best keeper in Scotland outside the Old Firm - and how much would it cost Motherwell to replace Andy with a goalkeeper of similar quality?"

Pat Nevin said:
"The offer we have made to Andy has been rejected, but discussions are still going on and we will have to wait and see what happens.  Andy could sign for somebody outside Scotland from January 1, so that may not necessarily be our final offer.  We had wanted to speak to all the out-of-contract players at the same time, but Andy and his agent were adamant that we made an offer, and we did, although we did not have to."

The Under-21s won 2-1 against a strong Dundee United side at Tannadice last night, thanks to goals from Jim McFadden and Martin Wood.  The team was: 
Connolly, Kinniburgh (Fallon) Pearson, Ramsay, Dempsie, Wilson, Lasley, Wood, Nicholas, McFadden, Clarke (Fagan).
