Askou on semi-final tickets, returning players & raising the bar

- Published
Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou has been speaking to the media before his team's Premiership meeting with Falkirk on Saturday.
Here's the key points:
The club have sold over 7,000 tickets for their Premier Sports Cup semi-final with St Mirren on 1 November.
Elijah Just, Tom Sparrow and Callum Hendry are back in training. It has raised the level, intensity and quality of training.
Callum Slattery is also partially back in training but will be back fully next week.
Performance against Celtic gives confidence, despite losing 3-2, that they can win next time the two teams meet.
Apostolos Stamatelopoulos is now getting the rewards for his effort and the team are looking sharper in attack, but there is still more to come.
All focus is on this weekend's match against Falkirk, and he'll leave others outside the group to get excited about the prospect of their trip to Hampden Park.
