The Official Site reports that we have completed the signing of French goalkeeper Francois DuBourdeau.  The 21-year-old, who has signed an 18-month contract, has been training at Fir Park for the last two weeks.  Does this confirm our earlier rumour that Stevie Woods and/or Mark Brown will now be on their way out...?

The Official Site also has details of today's Fir Park press conference.  Not much to report really, other than we should be at full strength for the trip to Tynecastle on Saturday, apart from Karl Ready of course who is suspended.

We understand that a closed-door match took place at Fir Park yesterday between Motherwell and St Mirren.  Apparently Saints won 3-2.

Thought the following photos from today's Motherwell Times might be of interest.  They are taken from the players' Christmas night out, which was held in the most glamorous of venues, The Dalziel Arms, Motherwell on Monday night.  And in case you are wondering, the guy dressed as the clown in the bottom pic is David Kelly, NOT Derek Adams.
