Jeffers: Desire key to repeating cup performance
Motherwell striker Francis Jeffers feels inner desire is the key to maintaining the high standards of their cup win over Dundee United as the Lanarkshire side face a pivotal few weeks in their season.
Motherwell swept aside the Scottish Cup holders 3-0 at Fir Park to secure a semi-final place. Jeffers added to earlier impressive strikes from Jamie Murphy and Chris Humphrey by finding the bottom corner from more than 20 yards following a neat piece of skill.
The display was arguably Motherwell's best under Stuart McCall, but there have been close contenders, notably victories over fellow semi-finalists Celtic and Aberdeen at Pittodrie.
And Jeffers sees no reason why Motherwell cannot go all the way - if they produce a similar display against St Johnstone at Hampden on April 16.
"You always want to get to semi-finals and finals of competitions," Jeffers said. "I went to two with Arsenal so that's another one now and hopefully we can go on and win it.
"We've got a chance, as have the other three teams. If we play like we did against United we are a match for anyone. We have to make sure we are on top of our game in the semi-final."
