STUART KETTLEWELL reckons it is laughable for anyone to question Andy Halliday’s commitment to Motherwell.

The mid fielder has received stick from a section of the Well support for not celebrating when he opened the scoring in the 2-1 Premier Sports Cup semi-final defeat to his former club Rangers.

But Fir Park boss Kettlewell said: “I have to laugh at anybody who questions Andy’s commitment.

“To make that run inside the box, to get to the end of that cross, if Andy didn’t care about this club and didn’t take his job seriously and wasn’t concerned about Motherwell and what we achieve, then he’d be standing outside the 18-yard box

“I understand people will always question celebrations.

He covered 12 and a half kilometres in a game and if you think he’s not committed to get to that at 33 then I have to laugh.

“We’d a situation here a couple of weeks ago when Louis Moult scored one of the best goals of the season, a piece of brilliance, against us for the winning goal for Dundee United.
