I don’t care.”A fan could be heard screaming an X-rated response.Live on air, he said: “See that microphone? I’m gonna shove it so far up your a*** you’ll never be able to get the fucker out!”The commentator continued: “There you go, St Johnstone fans delighted, I hope you picked that up. Ridiculous.”READ MORE FOOTBALLDan Casey put Motherwell ahead early yesterday but Benjamin Kimpioka pulled his side level.Thankfully for the visitors, Ebiye nodded home in the dying seconds to earn a deserved Scottish Premiership win.Motherwell boss Stuart Kettlewell said: “It was a trait we’ve had for the last 19 months or so that I’ve been here as a manager that we do score a lot of late goals, and we’re going to need that over the course of the season.“It’s a brilliant way to celebrate, going into the international break, but we’re going to need more of that, going into the season, no doubt.Most read in Football“It’s great. Genuinely, you see the elation from myself, the staff and my players, and especially supporters – it’s a great way to enjoy your weekend.“We stuck with it, we believed that we could get a winner, and I think you could see that in the changes we and St Johnstone made – both teams were trying to win the game.Footie star ‘had car wrecked & was robbed at gunpoint’ by thugs after match“But it’s a brilliant feeling for us at our club, it keeps that wee bit of consistency going from us.“Moses is that laid-back, but he got the final touch on it, and that’s what we thought we were bringing to the club, someone who sniffs out a chance, sniffs out a goal, and he’s done it a few times for us already.“Again, we’re going to need more of that from him over the course of the season.”Can you name the famous fathers?

NEIL LENNON is on the lookout for a new club after being dramatically SACKED by Rapid Bucharest after just THREE months in charge.In all, the Celtic legend presided over just SIX league games for the Romanian side – without winning any. The financier of the Rapid Bucharest team, Dan SucuNeil Lennon’s time at Rapid Bucharest has come to an endCredit: Gettyneil-lennon-press-conference-918220510Lennon, 53, made the shock move to Romania back in May having been out of the game for more than a year.But his spell at Rapid has rapidly turned into a nightmare.Of their six league games this season, Bucharest have drawn five and lost one.The results piled pressure piled on Lennon, who has been forced to insist he has no intention of quitting.But it was claimed overnight club chiefs have taken the decision to SACK Lennon with official confirmation expected in the coming hours.And now confirmation has finally come through – putting an end to a short and unsuccessful chapter of his career.A statement read: “Today, Neil Lennon and FC Rapid decided to go their separate ways.“We thank Neil and his staff for their commitment and professionalism, and we wish them continued success.”Most read in FootballLennon hasn’t been afraid to move away from the UK to pursue his management goals, taking charge previously of Cypriot side Omonia Nicosia. Son of Celtic legend Neil Lennon opens up on ‘honour’ of playing for Northern IrelandThe three-time former Scottish Football Writers Association manager of the year led Omonia to the Cypriot Cup in 2022.He led Celtic to FIVE titles as a manager, as well as four Scottish Cups and one League Cup.That’s in addition to taking Hibs to the Scottish Championship title in 2016-17.It’s been a turbulent spell for Lennon in Romania.The club were forced to deny bizarre reports that Lennon had urinated on the training pitch – reports also later shot down by Lennon during a podcast appearance.Last week, Lennon slammed the ‘levels of absurdity’ surrounding his team after being questioned on an apparent fall-out with the former captain.But he presided over quite a turnover of players at Bucharest – with Rangers target Albion Rrahamani eventually joining Sparta Prague this week in a big money deal. Rapid added 12 players in all, including taking goalkeeper Benji Siegrist from Celtic.
