Moult had a feeling it would be his day

Louis Moult said he had a hunch he would be the match-winner and it proved that way as his double sank Rangers in the second Betfred Cup semi-final.

The English striker took the Hampden glory in Motherwell's 2-0 win that sets up a shot at Celtic in next month's final.

He called the outcome "unbelievable" and added: "I thought about the game before and that's what I imagined in my head and thankfully it's come off.

"What a result and what a display from us today."

The Steelmen's talisman was man of the match at the national stadium in Glasgow, but has yet to commit his long-term future to Motherwell.

"I've said it many times: I've got to look for the best for my family," Moult told BT Sport.

"These people behind me (Motherwell fans) understand that and I think the football club understands that. I'll take each day as it comes so we'll see what happens."

Moult tangled with Rangers' Bruno Alves late on, and it appeared the Ibrox man might have been sent off for kicking out. Moult was arguably also lucky to avoid a red card for his reaction.

Alves surprisingly avoided punishment, but Moult was booked.

"He kicked me whilst I was down," Moult said. "I said to him and he actually agreed with me that he should have been booked as well as me.

"It was feisty out there and we've come out on top today, so thankfully it's gone in our favour.
