MOTHERWELL manager Mark McGhee will run his eye over Norwegian defender Lars Martin Engedal this week.

The 25-year-old is the former under-21 captain of Norway and quit IK Start in October.

"I'm looking forward to showing what I can do," said Engedal. "They need a centre-half and I hope it will be me. I'll travel to Scotland with an open mind and an open return ticket."

Meanwhile, Motherwell's Paul Quinn believes that referee Alan Muir was badly affected by the sentiment on display at Love Street on Saturday.

It was St Mirren's final game before moving to their new stadium and Quinn was adamant that on another day Motherwell would have been given a penalty.

Tom Brighton appeared to handle a Maros Klimpl effort, before Quinn was clipped in the box by Stephen McGinn in the final minute of the game.

"I said to the referee in a gentlemanly way I think you've bottled it' and I feel the occasion got to him," said Quinn.

"It's a big decision and he let us down big time. He said he didn't want to stand and argue with me and I'm one booking from a suspension so I didn't want to get a silly booking and make matters even worse.

"We knew how hard it would be to go Love Street regardless of the occasion and we were up for it just as much as St Mirren's players."

Elsewhere, Kilmarnock earned a point at Falkirk, but the visitors felt as though they were cheated out of a penalty in the late stages.

Grant Murray's long-range effort appeared to come off the outstretched arm of Neil McCann and Killie were incensed when referee Ian Brines waved away their shouts for a spot kick.

Killie's Willie Gibson said: "I was ten yards away and could see it was a handball.

"Neil knew himself and he's maybe stayed down so people think it hit him in the face."
