No rest for some as international duty calls

Nielsen will be collecting cap number 23 when he faces Northern Ireland on Saturday.  He’ll then travel north for the visit of Hungary on Tuesday.  The Faroe Islands surprised a few when they took the lead against Finland in the opening fixture in the group before a late collapse and the loss of three goals.

Our on loan Estonian will be hoping to be involved with his national side in the games against Lithuania in Vilnius on Thursday then in the high profile clash on Saturday when England play in Tallinn.  There’s a chance that Ojamaa could pair up with another player with a strong Motherwell connection – Henri Anier is also in the Estonian squad.

Estonia started the qualifications with a 1-0 win over Slovenia

McCall will be assisting the Scotland squad in their preparations for the Georgia and Poland ties.  They take place at Ibrox on Saturday before the away match on Tuesday.

At least the international break means that Motherwell will not lose this weekend!
