Randolph 'used' to the missiles
Darren Randolph had to dodge several missiles during Motherwell's Europa League defeat by Odense, but experienced worse in non-league football.[LNB] Motherwell complained to UEFA after lighters were thrown towards Randolph during their 2-1 play-off first-leg defeat on Thursday.[LNB]But the former Charlton player had a more unusual array of items launched at him when playing on loan in the English Conference.[LNB]"On Thursday night I must have collected about £10 in change plus two lighters were thrown on," the Irishman said.[LNB]"The first lighter was plastic but the second was a big metal one that nearly hit Stevie Hammell on the head.[LNB]"I have experienced worse though when I was at Accrington and we played York.[LNB]"I had bottles of Coke, sandwiches, lighters, coins and programmes thrown at me. I even had a shoe chucked at me."[LNB]Tom Hateley's injury-time free-kick has set up a fascinating second leg at Fir Park on Thursday but Randolph is fully focused on Sunday's Scottish Premier League contest at Rugby Park.[LNB]Well are looking to get their campaign up and running against Kilmarnock following a 3-2 defeat by Hibernian last weekend.[LNB]"Straight after the game we knew we had to focus on Killie," Randolph said.[LNB]"The Europa League is a bonus so we want to get our first league win now, especially after losing last week and with Celtic coming up."[LNB]Kilmarnock midfielder Jamie Hamill is looking to take advantage of any tiredness in the Motherwell ranks following their Danish trip.[LNB]Killie surprised many with a promising performance in their 2-1 defeat against Rangers at Ibrox last week.[LNB]Mixu Paatelainen's men have been tipped to struggle but their new manager has added several new faces following a long wait and Hamill feels his fresh approach is paying dividends.[LNB]"The team looks like it's getting stronger and more composed on the ball with each week," he said.[LNB]"Motherwell had a tough game in Europe so hopefully we can take advantage of having a week's rest going into the game.[LNB]"We have a few new faces in to freshen the squad up, which is always a good thing. We've lost a few as well but we have replaced them with quality."
