Another bumper edition of the 68-page Steelmen Matchday Magazine returns against St Johnstone this weekend.
‘Well boss Stuart McCall and Captain Keith Lasley both return with the regular columns. The gaffer talks about the challenges posed by Saints, the winter break and building on recent decent home form.
The skipper looks forward to getting back into action, salutes recent departure Jamie Murphy and gives an insight into some recent off-field superstardom.
The feature interview is with fan-favourite Bob McHugh. The striker, who netted a quadruple for the U20s during the week, talks about filling the void left by Jamie Murphy, fan chants and finishing high in the SPL table.
But that’s not where the features stop!
There is a 13-page section dedicated to our visitors, St Johnstone.
Kris Jack goes through four players to watch from opponents, as we as a player-by-player breakdown of their squad, including three former Steelmen.
Nigel Hasselbaink is the man in the spotlight in our opposition Q&A and Kev Heller gives us a fans-eyed view of Saints’ season so far.
We also have a scout report from the Perth clubs’ last match as they beat Dundee 1-0 thanks to a Liam Craig goal.
The features and big names keep coming…
In our Interview Alumni section, we caught up with former Steelman striker and Saints manager Owen Coyle. The former Burnley and Bolton boss looks back fondly at his time at Fir Park and his almost telepathic partnership with the Cobra – Tommy Coyne. He also talks candidly about his disappointment at the way his time at Motherwell came to an end.
Press & Media Manager Alan Burrows adds his thoughts in ‘The Last Word’ near the back of the publication and examines the on-going debate of Scottish Football reconstruction.
Antiguan International Zaine Francis-Angol tells us his ‘First and Last’ and Graham Barnstaple’s Cult Heroes this week focuses on one of Motherwell’s greatest ever players – John Gahagan.
But wait, there’s more!
We take a look back at the 4-1 win over Aberdeen, the 2-2 draw with Kilmarnock and the narrow 1-0 defeat at Celtic Park. There are 10 tough questions in our Quiz, the latest news section as well as an in-depth statistical look at referee Willie Collum.
We have the latest from The Ticket Office, the Commercial Department, and update from the ‘Well Society.
The programme is available for £3 and is will be on sale from the Club Shop as well as the usual sellers located in and around the ground pre-match.
