We aren't missing Louis Moult, says Craig Tanner

The Fir Park side lost their top-scorer at the start of January when Moult clinched a #500,000 switch to Preston.

Saturday's narrow defeat to Kilmarnock was the first time the Steelmen have failed to find the net in the eight games since Moult's departure.

New signings Nadir Ciftci and Curtis Main have taken up the onus of leading from the front for Stephen Robinson's side - with the pair grabbing five goals between them since hooking up last month.

Tanner is looking to continue his own remarkable scoring form against Dundee when they meet on Saturday.

The midfielder has netted in all three of Well's previous clashes with the Dens Park men this season.

"Louis was a top quality player and his record proves he deserved the move he got,'' said Tanner.

"But at the end of the day it wasn't just Louis Moult that was on the pitch. There were 10 other people plus the guys on the bench.

"We've got a great squad here and just because Louis got the headlines when he was here it doesn't mean you can take away some of the other performances throughout the season.

"Moulty was very good but he didn't play defence, midfield or goalkeeper, did he?

"So there is a lot more to Motherwell as a team than just Louis Moult.''

Tanner has eight goals in all competitions this term - with three of them coming against the Dark Blues.

But he is not worried about being a marked man this weekend.

He said: "Luckily enough I've scored against them a few times this season. I think it's three in three.

"That's a nice personal touch for me but more importantly we need the three points, so it doesn't matter who scores this time.

"I don't really know why I've got this record against them. Maybe it's just luck or things have fallen right for me on the day. Hopefully it happens again on Saturday.

"If they mark me that means someone else is free so it will be good either way.'
