Motherwell FC boss Graham Alexander vows that his side won't dwell on 6-1 Rangers hammering
Motherwell manager Graham Alexander has vowed that Sunday’s 6-1 home league hammering by Rangers won’t be allowed to fester down Fir Park way.
Although Bevis Mugabi put ’Well ahead early on, the Steelmen – who later had skipper Stephen O’Donnell sent off for a second booking – collapsed to a heavy defeat as Rangers won with strikes by James Tavernier, Fashion Sakala (3), Glen Kamara and Kemar Roofe.
“Sulking’s not something I do or my team does, I don’t believe in it,” Alexander said.
“It doesn’t take you forward and we have to go forward. We have to learn from this and learn from moments in games where you see them out and keep your composure and discipline.
“There are things to take from this but also things that we know don’t usually happen.
“It’s a rare one, we have to make sure it’s rare.
“We have a lot of good players and have done some real good things this season.
“Up until yesterday we were in the top six. So we have to understand that we have done good things and we’re not going to let this be a cloud over our heads for the rest of the season.”
Motherwell haven’t won in their last five league games – ironically that dismal run has come in the wake of Alexander being crowned Scottish Premiership Manager of the Month for September.
The Steelmen, seventh with 15 points from 12 games, could really do with a pick me up but are unlikely to get it easy at a resurgent Aberdeen this Saturday.
