MOTHERWELL manager Stephen Robinson has enjoyed proving the doubters wrong so far this season - and is determined to continue doing so in his side’s Betfred Cup semi-final against Rangers.

Robinson has made sure his players are aware of some of the promotional material for the televised Hampden clash, which focuses on Motherwell’s opponents and a potential final meeting with Celtic.

“According to everybody else, people have already got it as an Old Firm final,” he said. “We are out to prove that wrong.

“I’ve seen some clips and tickets for sale for Rangers in the final, so people have obviously written us off already. That’s fine, we can deal with that. But within our dressing room and our club we firmly believe we can get a result.

“I pay little attention to what people say but if you can use it as a motivational tool... Players read stuff, don’t they? I don’t think I need to motivate the players but if that’s given them a little bit of extra motivation, then great.”
