The Rangers boss was understandably furious after his side failed to get off to winning ways in the Premiership at Fir Park.
After a couple of incredible nights in the Champions League, the Light Blues got off to a stuttering start in the league.
Celtic now have the chance to move two points clear after just one game – IF they see past St Mirren in their opener at Parkhead tomorrow.
It was groundhog day for Gers fans once again as their team failed to capitalise and pick up a much-needed domestic three points.
Speaking after the game, Martin admitted his side were actually lucky to get a point against Jens Berthel Askou’s resilient ‘Well side.
He didn’t hold back with his post-match comments as he accused some of his players of having “egos” and warned them they will be “left behind” if they don’t get their act together.
Then moments later he was spotted at the side of the pitch going through the disappointing game with two men who brought him to Ibrox and have backed him this summer.
He stood listening to them both as they had their say on the game, before Martin gave his thoughts on the disappointing display as well.
It was an unusual sight to see a manager and key boardroom figures hold a discussion at the side of the pitch at an away venue.
But they were all understandably frustrated as their side at one stage looked set to kick off the league camapign with three points.
The Ibrox club raced into an early lead through skipper James Tavernier who headed home from a Joe Rothwel corner in the first half.
Gers were on top for the most part of the first half – albeit with the odd shaky moment – before Motherwell picked up the pace in the second half.
Jack Butland was called into action a number of times throughout the game, but couldn’t deny Emmanuel Longelo when he pounced in the dying moments.
