Referee for Sunday’s William Hill Scottish Cup clash with Hearts at Fir Park is Andrew Dallas.

It will be his third Motherwell game of the season, after the 35-year-old took charge in a Lanarkshire Derby, as well a previous meeting between the Steelmen and the Jambos at Tynecastle earlier this term.

Unfortunately for the ‘Well, both matches overseen by the official have ended in defeat.

The first was the 1-0 loss at Tynecastle, when a rather sloppy goal was enough for Craig Levein’s side to pick up all three points.

Then it was the rather forgettable loss at Fir Park against Hamilton, when ‘Well surrendered an early lead to lose 3-1.

Son of famous referee Hugh Dallas, Andrew takes charge of his eighth Motherwell game.

He will be assisted by Graeme Stewart and Dougie Potter, with Nick Walsh on fourth official duties.

It’s a huge fixture on Sunday as Hearts come calling in the quarter finals of the William Hill Scottish Cup.

Motherwell are just one game away from yet another trip to Hampden Park this season and a place in the last four of the competition.

Having reached one cup final this season, your support could help push us a step closer towards another as we strive for new cup heroes.

Tickets can be purchased in advance and, if you’re a season ticket holder, your seat has been reserved for you to purchase. Just pop by the Fir Park ticket office to secure yours. Please note the ticket office is closed on Thursday due to the adverse weather conditions.

Cash gates will also be in operation but we encourage all fans to try and buy in advance to minimise delays on the day.

Hearts supporters should contact their club for ticket information.

Kick off at Fir Park on Sunday is at 2.15pm.

Admission prices are as follows:

Concessions are applicable to 60 and over and full time students with a valid matriculation card. Juveniles are applicable to aged 15 and under.

Motherwell’s Ladbrokes Premiership match with Aberdeen has been postponed because of current weather conditions.

The Scottish Professional Football League has decided that all matches across the country should be cancelled, in the light of government, police and club advice.

“There has already been significant snowfall at and around Fir Park,” chief operating officer Alan Burrows said.

“The Scottish Government has an amber warning in place for most of the country, urging people not to travel.

“Given the current weather situation, the safety of fans who planned to travel to watch the match is paramount. Both clubs agreed an early decision was necessary for this reason.

“We have a duty of care to all – spectators, players and staff – to avoid any unnecessary travel related to this match.

“We are pleased that the SPFL have agreed and made the decision to cancel all games scheduled for Wednesday.”

Details on the rearranged fixture will be announced in due course.

The club offices and club shop will be closed on Wednesday and all community trust activities have been cancelled.

Skipper Carl McHugh is determined to see the Steelmen pick up another impressive victory over the Dons, as he closes in on 50 league games for the ‘Well.

Wednesday night’s game also has the chance to springboard ‘Well in to a crucial Scottish Cup quarter-final on Sunday afternoon.

“It’s a big week for us in the league and the cup, but we’re just focussing on Aberdeen first,” Carl said, as he spoke to the broadcast press.

[pullquote]It’s going to be a tough game for us and we’re very hopeful of pushing on in the next few games to push for that top six spot.[/pullquote]

“On the main, performances and results have been good since the winter break and as a squad we’re confident.

“We were disappointed with the result against Kilmarnock but thought our performance was good, then against Dundee we probably didn’t play all that well but we dug in, defended well and got a result.

“We’ll be aiming for the complete performance against Aberdeen and we’ll need to be ready and at our best on Wednesday night.”

Stephen Robinson reflected on his first full year as Motherwell manager when he spoke to the broadcast press.

And the Northern Irishman, who has enjoyed a hugely successful spell at the helm of the Steelmen, admitted he has enjoyed the challenges on a day-to-day basis at Fir Park.

“It’s a great football club and there are super people involved in it,” he said. “It’s probably as enjoyable as management gets – we’ve been reasonably successful in terms of the size of the football club and the budget.

“I’m enjoying it, it’s a challenge and there’s new challenges everyday but that’s something you know you have to meet when you take the job.”

He added: “It’s going to be a tough, tough game against Aberdeen. There was nothing in our games against them earlier this season, although people raved about our performance in the 3-0 win.

“There wasn’t a lot in it and we scored at the right times, but goals changed games and we took advantage in that particular game.”

It’s a big week for Motherwell on both league and cup fronts as Stephen Robinson’s men take on Aberdeen and Hearts at Fir Park.

The Dons are the first visitors on Wednesday, February 28. Kick off in the Ladbrokes Premiership match is at 7.45pm.

The Steelmen are still in the race for a top six spot in the Ladbrokes Premiership and, with five games to go before the split, are just one point behind Kilmarnock in sixth and three behind Hearts in fifth spot.

A win against the Dons would go a long way towards trying to leapfrog either side, with our team having already claimed victories in two of the three encounters against Derek McInnes’ side this season.

Tickets can be purchased in advance from the office at Fir Park or you can pay at the gate on the night. Get yourself along and let’s try and recapture the atmosphere of our 3-o Betfred Cup win against Aberdeen last year.

Admission prices are as follows:

The cheaper price is for the John Hunter stand. Concessions are applicable to 60 and over and full time students with a valid matriculation card. Juveniles are applicable to aged 15 and under.

Away fans will be housed in the McEwan Fraser Legal South Stand. Cash gates are in operation.

Then on Sunday, it’s another huge fixture as Hearts come calling in the quarter finals of the William Hill Scottish Cup.

Motherwell are just one game away from yet another trip to Hampden Park this season and a place in the last four of the competition.

Craig Tanner’s fourth goal in four games against Dundee secured all three points for the Steelmen.

Craig Tanner, Tom Aldred and Cédric Kipré speak after the 1-0 win away to Dundee in the Ladbrokes Premiership.

Stephen Robinson praised the passion and commitment of his players as they picked up a crucial 1-0 victory away to Dundee.

Despite being pegged back for large periods of the game, the Steelmen defended resolutely for large periods of their Ladbrokes Premiership encounter.

Speaking at full time, the Northern Irishman expressed his delight as his side got themselves back to winning ways.

“If we want to be a top six side then that was a really important win for us,” he said. “But we can be better than that.

[pullquote]The resilience, organisation and character the boys showed for 90 minutes was excellent.[/pullquote]

“Dundee had a lot of the ball, they dominated possession in front of us without hurting us, similar to what we did to Killie last weekend.”

He added: “Our back five and Trevor Carson were outstanding, Carl McHugh as well.

“If I was a fan and I was travelling back down the road having seen that kind of passion and commitment – throwing themselves in front of the ball, winning headers and tackles – I’d be absolutely delighted.”
