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.
