Stephen Robinson says his Motherwell side are happy to go into their League Cup semi-final against Rangers as underdogs, determined to silence the sceptics.
The two sides meet at Hampden Park on Sunday, a day after Celtic face Hibernian at the national stadium.

Motherwell were last in a cup final in 2011 when they lost 3-0 to Celtic in the Scottish Cup final and Robinson is convinced his team can get a result this time around.
"There's definitely no fear factor from us," he said.
"According to some people, they have already got it an Old Firm final. We're out to prove that wrong.
"I've seen some clips of tickets for sale for Rangers in the final. People have obviously written us off already. That's fine.
"We can deal with that, but within our dressing-room, within our club, we firmly believe we can get a result."
"There has been a lot of years we've been fighting relegation and that's all our fans have had to look forward to.
"So a trip to Hampden, and we're hoping it's not our last one of the season, will maybe give them something really to shout about."
