    We support the Rainbow Laces campaign

    We support the Rainbow Laces campaign

    We’re backing the Rainbow Laces campaign.

    Rainbow Laces is Stonewall Scotland’s awareness project to make sure that LGBT people are welcomed and accepted at all levels of the game.

    Today, four in 10 LGBT people think sport isn’t welcoming to them. Many report experiencing discrimination – and we need to change that.

    Football is a sport for all. It should not judge or discriminate people for who they are.

    Motherwell Football Club is a safe, inclusive place for all. We all need to work to ensure everyone feels that is the case.

    As well as our continued backing, our players will show their support on the pitch at the weekend’s match with St Johnstone.

    “Our club is one that makes everybody feel part of the same family,” said Motherwell captain Peter Hartley.

    “We must never take that for granted. As players, staff and fans, we must be proactive in making everyone feel safe and welcome.

    “It’s our responsibility to do that for all, every day of the year. We’re proud to back this campaign to fight for an end to the stigma and discrimination in our sport.”

    We can only stop homophobic, biphobic and transphobic behaviour and language from happening in football by showing that it is not acceptable, at every level of the game.

    We are dedicated to eradicating any forms of homophobic, biphobic or transphobic behaviour and making sure our club is a place where LGBT fans can be safe and accepted.

    Opposition Report: A look at St Johnstone

    Opposition Report: A look at St Johnstone

    St Johnstone are the weekend visitors to Motherwell.

    Tommy Wright’s men come as the league’s bottom club, but recent results have shown they are still a formidable opponent for Stephen Robinson’s side.

    The story so far

    A disappointing start to the 2019/20 season sees St Johnstone currently occupying bottom spot in the Premiership, but a recent turnaround in results means they are anything but cut adrift.

    They’re locked on 11 points with three other teams, with only their goal difference keeping them in 12th spot.

    Murray Davidson and Callum Hendry’s red cards in the weekend draw with Aberdeen rules them out of the trip to Fir Park.

    Form guide

    The Saints have won two and drawn one of their last five, turning their form around after a sluggish start to the campaign.

    Home wins over Hamilton Academical and Hearts came alongside the home draw with Aberdeen last time out, a loss at McDiarmid Park to Hibernian and an away defeat to St Mirren.

    Before then, Wright’s side hadn’t won in the league since a 2-0 home win over Motherwell in May, a run which lasted for 10 games.

    Away from home, they’ve not registered a league win in 2019. Their last victory on the road in the Premiership came in late December 2018 at Dundee, and they are winless in 14.

    Three to watch

    David Wotherspoon

    David Wotherspoon recently clocked up his 250th appearances for his hometown club and he marked the occasion with what could prove to be a vital double in the win over Hamilton.

    The midfielder joined St Johnstone back in the summer of 2013 and quickly endeared himself to the Saints support as he capped a memorable first season by featuring at every stage of their famous Scottish Cup triumph.

    Wotherspoon is eligible to represent Canada through his mother who was born there and has earned two caps for Les Rouges, with his most recent appearance coming in the 1-0 win over Cuba in September.

    Alistair McCann

    A big positive in early stages of the season for St Johnstone has been the performances of 19-year-old midfielder Alistair McCann.

    McCann has featured in all of Saints’ Scottish Premiership fixtures so far in 2019-20, after spending the previous season on loan at League One side Stranraer.

    This afternoon’s fixture will bring back fond memories for the Northern Ireland U21 international, he made his first league appearance in St Johnstone’s emphatic 5-1 victory at Fir Park back in May 2018.

    Stevie May

    Former Aberdeen striker Stevie May has endured a testing start to his second spell at St Johnstone, managing just two goals in 10 appearances.

    May, who turned 27 earlier this month arrived at McDiarmid Park keen to rediscover the form that endeared him to Saints fans during his first stint in the light blue – scoring both goals in their Scottish Cup semi-final victory over Aberdeen and laying on a goal for Steven MacLean as the club clinched the trophy for the first time since the club was formed in 1884.

    In that season he finished on 27 goals in all competitions, landing him the SWFA Young Player of the Year award and fans of the Perth club will be desperate to see the powerful striker get back to his best in their bid to avoid a scrap at the foot of the table this season.

    Reserves lose at Dunfermline

    Reserves lose at Dunfermline

    A youthful Motherwell side lost out 2-0 at Dunfermline Athletic in the SPFL Reserve League on Tuesday.

    Dunfermline took control within the first 16 minutes, netting twice from corner kicks.

    Bowman’s corner from the right initially found Todd, whose shot was turned in by Coulson with 12 minutes played.

    Four minutes later, it was 2-0. Another Bowman delivery was met in the air by Morrison, who headed home.

    Motherwell grew into the game into the second half and started to carve out chances.

    Hutchison went close with a header close to the hour mark, shortly after Dunfermline almost put through their own net, only for their player to fire back off his own crossbar.

    Motherwell: Morrison, J Brown, Muir, Devine, Hussain, Hutchison, Hale, Cornelius, MacIver, Robertson (Kettings), Starrs.

    Subs: Hemfrey, Williamson, R Brown.

    Next up: St Johnstone

    St Johnstone visit Fir Park on Saturday, as Motherwell return to home action in the Ladbrokes Premiership.

    It’s the first of three home games in the space of three weeks for the Steelmen, who will also host Hearts and Rangers after a midweek trip to St Mirren.

    Tale of the tape

    Defeat to Hibernian at the weekend didn’t cause a shift in league position for Motherwell, who remain fourth in the table with 14 games played.

    St Johnstone sit bottom of the table on goal difference, locked on 11 points with three other teams after their battling 1-1 draw with Aberdeen on Sunday, in which they finished the game with nine men.

    Head to head

    Motherwell won the first encounter between the two sides 1-0 back at McDiarmid Park in September, with Devante Cole netting the decisive goal in the match.

    The Steelmen have won three of the last five matches between the pair, with the Saints winning the other two.

    Phil O’Donnell inducted to Hall of Fame

    Phil O’Donnell inducted to Hall of Fame

    Captain. Hero. Legend. Phil O’Donnell is the supporters’ choice to join the Motherwell FC Hall of Fame.

    Raised near Fir Park and brought through as a youngster, his early career with the club was prolific.

    A Scottish Cup final goal scorer and winner at just 19 years of age, his career would continue to blossom.

    He became the club’s youngest ever in European competition. Twice winner of the PFA Young Player of the Year award and international honours.

    After 145 games in claret and amber, he would move to Celtic in 1994 for what remains Motherwell’s record transfer fee.

    Almost 10 years would pass at Celtic and Sheffield Wednesday, some of which were frustrated through injury at both clubs as he played 146 more matches.

    The call of home would eventually come.

    Returning to Fir Park in January 2004, he became “Uncle Phil”. A mentor to many young stars and with his nephew David Clarkson under his wing.

    He would make another 89 appearances in claret and amber, and another cup final appearance, before his untimely passing aged 35 in December 2007.

    Brave as a Lion. Phil O’Donnell takes his place in the Motherwell FC Hall of Fame alongside George Stevenson, Willie Pettigrew, Ally Maxwell and James McFadden.
