Selection headache for McCall

Stuart McCall admits he has his biggest selection dilemma yet as Motherwell manager after his under-strength side beat Celtic. Motherwell were without the suspended Stephen Craigan and injured Steven Saunders and Steve Jones, while Francis Jeffers was rested after starting three games in nine days. But Motherwell, with youngsters Shaun Hutchinson and Gavin Gunning impressive in central defence, secured a 2-0 victory McCall said: "When we lost four players after Christmas and we had a few injuries, people were getting in not because they were playing really well, but just because we were struggling for numbers. But not now, I have a lot of options." He added: "Stevie Hammell played exceptionally well since I came here but Gavin Gunning came in when he was injured and took his chance. "I had to leave Hammy out, he was patient and got back in (against Celtic) and played really well. It's good competition and it's what managers want." Gunning moved inside from left-back against Celtic and McCall could continue against Inverness this weekend, with the on-loan Blackburn player beside Hutchinson. "We got him in as a left centre-half after Reynolds departed but also because we needed cover at left-back," the Motherwell boss said. "When he has been out on loan in the last couple of seasons, he has played the majority of his football as a left-back, but he sees himself as a centre-back and has played there for Blackburn reserves and that's where I saw him play. "He has shown he is comfy in both positions and even playing further on."
