WE'RE WELL SET FOR 11TH HOUR BUYS

STUART KETTLEWELL admits he may have to brave it out until the final minutes of the transfer window to solve a striker dilemma at Motherwell.

Oli Shaw's return to Barnsley has left the Fir Park boss with only one fit senior frontman.

Theo Bair will lead the line against St Johnstone tomorrow as 18-year-old kid Mark Ferrie provides back-up off the bench.

Kettlewell is hoping to have Jon Obika back next month from the hamstring pull which kept the 33-year-old out of last weekend's Scottish Cup victory over Alloa.

But the gaffer is ploughing on with attempts to recruit fresh firepower - and admits he may have to leave it late ahead of next Thursday's 11.30pm deadline.
