Mark McGhee feels the young players he's brought to Motherwell this summer will benefit from trips to Celtic Park and Ibrox.

Despite losing 5-0 to Celtic in the League Cup and going down 2-1 to Rangers in the Premiership last weekend the Fir Park manager believes positives have been acquired.

"These boys have come from the lower divisions in England and the prospect of playing at Celtic Park and playing at Rangers was the reason why they came here," said McGhee.

"I think they relished it. I spoke to Craig Clay after the Celtic game and while he didn't say he enjoyed it, he certainly took something from it and saw players of a quality that he had never played against before.

"So that was good for him and I think he took that into the Rangers game and for me he was the man of the match. I think that was partly as a result of the positives, if there were any, that he took out of the Celtic game."

"Robbie Neilson says there is no need to sell right-back Callum Paterson to Wigan and the club are in a strong financial position. He also confirmed that the club will listen to offers for defender Juwon Oshinawa and striker Juanma who have failed to command first-team spots this season."

Will Rangers have added Swiss centre-back Philippe Senderos to the squad in time to face Kilmarnock? The 31-year-old has been on trial at Auchenhowie for the past week and is being tipped to become Rangers' 11th summer signing following the collapse of Warburton's move for Aston Villa's Joleon Lescott.  

Here's what Ibrox boss Mark Warburton had to say about the defender, whose previous clubs include Arsenal and Fulham:

"He's still looking at us and we're looking at him. That's how it works. He's come in and done very well. We're very impressed. He's a good character. 

"His CV is very impressive and hopefully we can come to a suitable conclusion very quickly. The conversation is going on and when we can announce something we will do. 

"We're making progress but I don't think we're too far away. There are other options we're looking at and I'm sure he has other options as well. We're trying to move it forward but you never know. 

"Would those offers elsewhere impact how quickly we move? No. We've got to do the right thing by Rangers. Philippe has got to do the right thing by him. It's about all the parties making sure the deal works for everyone concerned. If we do that then great, if not then we shake hands and wish him all the best."

Kilmarnock manager Lee Clark will speak at a news conference at 16:30 BST so we'll have the team news for the hosts later in the day. Interestingly, Clark has been admitting that signing so many new players - er, just the 15 - in such a short time is risky but he feels it was essential to also clear out 17 of the previous squad to change the "doom-and-gloom mentality" that pervaded Rugby Park.

New Rangers striker Joe Garner should make his debut when the Premiership leaders head down the M77 to take on Kilmarnock at rugby Park on Friday night. 

However, manager Mark Warburton is still without four injured players. Midfield duo Matt Crooks (ankle) and Josh Windass (hamstring) have both returned to training but, like striker Martyn Waghorn (hamstring), they will have to wait until next week's friendly with Linfield before taking the next step in their recovery. Midfielder Jason Holt (ankle) is still confined to gym work but hopes to return to outdoor activities next week. 

Rangers squad: Foderingham, Tavernier, Hill, Kiernan, Wilson, Wallace, Barton, Miller, McKay, Dodoo, Garner, Forrester, Halliday, Hodson, Rossiter, Kranjcar, Bates, O'Halloran, Gilks.

BBC Scotland's new four-part Scottish football documentary series begins this evening. Part one of Scotland's Game goes out on BBC One Scotland at 21:00 BST. Entitled "I Play for Money" it focuses on the period in the 1980s when the case was being made by the likes of Jim McLean and the late Wallace Mercer that there were too many clubs in Scotland. Hearts and Hibernian, and Dundee and Dundee United, came very close to merging during a tumultuous period in Scottish football.

Watch the trail for Scotland's Game.

St Johnstone manager Tommy Wright hopes to sign a new striker before the transfer window closes next week.

However, Wright indicated a return to Perth for Stevie May was unlikely. Preston's May, 23, is recovering from a knee injury sustained in November.

"I would like one in," Wright told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound.

"We're working on a couple of things and until it's over the line, nothing can be guaranteed. I'm not bothered if it's permanent or loan."

May joined Sheffield Wednesday from St Johnstone in 2014, months after helping the McDiarmid Park club win the Scottish Cup for the first time.
