Stephen Robinson wants to see his side bounce back from their Scottish Cup disappointment with a big performance against Hibernian on Wednesday night.

The ‘Well boss admitted his side deserved their critics after the 2-1 defeat on Saturday, but believes his side have what it takes to bounce back.

Speaking ahead of Hibs’ arrival at Fir Park, Robinson said: “After Saturday, we have to take the criticism, be brave and stand up. On Wednesday we must come out fighting.”

Alex Rodriguez Gorrin speaks ahead of Motherwell’s clash with Hibernian in the Ladbrokes Premiership. 

The Spanish midfielder is hoping the Fir Parkers can bounce back from Saturday’s Scottish Cup defeat when the side from the capital arrive in Lanarkshire.

“We have to put Saturday behind us as soon as we can. We have a big game on Wednesday to focus on,” he said.

Hibernian are the opposition at Fir Park as Motherwell prepare for the first Premiership fixture of 2019. 

It is the second home game this week after the Scottish Cup defeat against Ross County, and the Steelmen will be eager to bounce back on Wednesday night.

Here, we take a closer look at Neil Lennon’s Hibees.

January jolt?

The Edinburgh outfit have experienced a fairly mixed start to the 2018/19, but with Ryan Gauld arriving on loan in this month’s transfer window, the club could see their campaign come to life in 2019.

Gauld returns to Scotland after a spell in Portugal, and took just 20 minutes to register his first assist in green and white in his debut performance at the weekend.

The Easter Road support will be hoping it is the first of many for their new number 13, who could be the jolt their campaig needs.

Mixed form

Although Hibs have only won one of their last five league matches, it has been a fairly mixed run of form.

They may have suffered a sore defeat in their derby clash with Hearts, but they also played Rangers twice and Celtic once in that run of games.

They managed to defeat Brendan Rodgers side 2-0, and drew both clashes with Steven Gerrard’s Rangers outfit.

Top six incentive

It is one of the most competitive campaigns in recent seasons, but Hibs hopes of a top six spot could take an extra stride should they overcome the Steelmen.

A win could potentially see them go just a point behind six-placed St Johnstone, whereas defeat would drag the Steelmen up nearer the mix.

The Hibees play three of the four sides currently below them in the league in their next five games, and they’ll be hungry to string together some strong results.

Motherwell host Hibernian in the first league game of 2019 on Wednesday night. 

And after the disappointments of Saturday’s defeat against Ross County in the Scottish Cup, the Steelmen will be desperate to turn the tide.

Here, we look at the clash at Fir Park in numbers.

Eight

The total number of points separating the two sides in the Ladbrokes Premiership.

Hibs currently sit in eighth spot on 29 points, whilst the ‘Well sit just one spot below in ninth on 21 points.

A win for Stephen Robinson’s men could tighten the gap from the sides above them and add to the gulf separating the bottom three sides in the division.

23

The number of years since a meeting between Motherwell and Hibernian ended goalless.

There have been 66 games played between the two in that time, with a total of 211 goals scored in those games.

The most famous of those meetings was of course the 6-6 goalfest at Fir Park back in May 2010.

11

The combined total of goals scored by the two sides top goalscorers this season.

Florian Kamberi leads the way for the side from the capital, with five goals to his name this term.

Danny Johnson has six goals in the league for Stephen Robinson’s men this season.

Stephen Robinson reflected on a disappointing Scottish Cup defeat against Ross County at Fir Park. 

The ‘Well boss admitted his side let themselves down as the Staggies won 2-1 in the forst fixture of 2019.

“I’m disappointed. There’s no excuses, we deserved to lose the game,” he said.

Motherwell suffered defeat in the William Hill Scottish Cup at the hands of Championship side Ross County.

Brian Graham’s double early in the second half was the difference between the two sides in a scrappy affair at Fir Park, despite a late, late goal from Jake Hasie that briefly gave hope.

Stephen Robinson handed debuts to Ross McCormack and Gboly Ariyibi, with Carl McHugh, Charles Dunne and David Turnbull all being restored to the starting team.

But it was County who started the stronger, with the second tier side having early chances through McManus, who stung the palms of Gillespie, and Spence, who shot over.

New boy Ariyibi showed first half flashes, setting up Frear for a shot at goal and seeing a low cross from the left blocked.

McCormack made way for Main at the interval but it was the visitors who made the breakthrough early on.

Graham’s header with seven minutes gone gave the Staggies the lead, but worse was to follow.

With Aribiyi seemingly taken out, referee Steven McLean let play go on and a cross from the right found Graham unmarked at the back post to double the lead on the hour mark.

Motherwell struggled to carve out scoring chances, save for a late Aldred header that was well gathered by Fox, but they were given late, late hope when Hastie headed in Frear’s cross from close range in stoppage time.

But it wasn’t to be, as they bowed out at the fourth round stage.
