Stoke have shown us the way - McCall

Motherwell manager Stuart McCall has told his players to emulate Stoke as they prepare for their last match at Fir Park before the Scottish Cup final. Tony Pulis' side warmed up for Saturday's FA Cup final against Manchester City with a 3-1 victory over Arsenal on Sunday. And McCall wants his team to earn a similar rousing send-off from their home fans when they host Kilmarnock on Wednesday night to give them a boost ahead of the Hampden clash with Celtic on May 21. McCall said: "I said to the lads, look at Stoke against Arsenal. It's my biggest game, so imagine what it is to the players who have not played in a Scottish Cup final. "But look at the way the Stoke players treated their game against Arsenal with six days to go before the cup final. "That is exactly the same approach I want against Kilmarnock. We want to win the game for the sake of momentum, for the sake of confidence and for the sake of going level with them."
