    Join IPSO’s first team scouting course

    We’ve partnered with the International Professional Scouting Organisation.

    The club will benefit from access to further education from the organisation.

    IPSO will deliver their Level One course on first-team scouting at our home match with Hearts on 20 November 2021.

    “We’ve been invited up to deliver our Level One course for CPD work which will have in attendance some of the staff at Motherwell as they look to build and progress their scouting department,” Colin Chambers, the education director of IPSO, said of the collaboration.

    “We think this is a great move for both parties and we can help Motherwell with any future scouts not only in Scotland but in England, Ireland and Wales not forgetting Europe if need be.

    “As we look to build a good relationship, we are hoping to do many things with Motherwell which could help in many areas in the future.”

    Nick Daws, Motherwell’s head of recruitment operations, added: “We are delighted to collaborate with one of the leading providers in scouting and analysis education as we develop and strengthen our approach to recruitment and look to provide a pathway into the professional game for talented and enthusiastic people.”

    Hearts next in SWPL1

    Hearts next in SWPL1

    Motherwell face off against Hearts next in SWPL1 on Sunday 17 October at Alliance Park.

    Kick-off is 4pm.

    Tale of the tape

    Motherwell are unbeaten in their last six games against the Jambos, winning five and drawing one, with Hearts last beating Motherwell in October 2017.

    Motherwell came away with all three points in each of the fixtures against Hearts last season.

    Last time out, Motherwell won 1-0 in the capital thanks to a Jade Gallon penalty.

    Form guide

    Motherwell come into this game off the back of keeping two clean sheets in their last two fixtures.

    A 0-0 against Spartans in Edinburgh in their last game, despite going down to 10 players and a comfortable 3-0 victory in the Lanarkshire derby the week prior will give the women of steel ample confidence going into the game against Hearts.

    Hearts were beaten 2-0 against champions Glasgow City in their last fixture, but picked up their first points of the league season against Aberdeen the week prior, staging a comeback from 2-0 down to win 3-2.

    The visitors have won two, lost two and drawn one of their last five league matches, and were 2-1 away winners at Aberdeen in their last outing.

    Draw at Spartans in SWPL1

    Draw at Spartans in SWPL1

    Motherwell battled hard to earn a well-deserved point against Spartans at Ainslie Park on Sunday.

    Both sides would be provided with several opportunities throughout. However, neither side could apply the finishing touch.

    Gill Inglis would be denied the opener early on, before Rosie McQuillan passed up a gilt-edged opportunity for the hosts early into the first half.

    The women of steel move up into eighth in the SWPL1 table and will be full of confidence as they host Hearts at Alliance Park next week.

    Motherwell applied the early pressure and were unfortunate not to open the scoring in the early stages.

    Amy Anderson’s perfectly-timed through ball was superbly controlled by Inglis, who cut inside and fired towards goal. But the forward’s curling effort was brilliantly parried away by the goalkeeper.

    Spartans would have the best chance of the game minutes later. Simone McMahon’s long ball sliced through the Motherwell defence, leaving McQuillan through on goal.

    The forward skilfully rounded Khym Ramsay but couldn’t apply the finishing touch as she fired wide of the empty net.

    Motherwell would come agonisingly close to the opener on the half hour mark.

    Leanne Crichton’s floated cross was superbly flicked on by Lori Gardner from close range, but Spartans goalkeeper Rachel Harrison reacted quickly to make a smart save.

    Motherwell would be reduced to 10 as Paige McAllister was given her marching orders midway through the second half.

    McAllister appeared to have timed her tackle perfectly, but the referee made no hesitations and quickly brandished the red card.

    Motherwell came close to the winner late on. Crichton’s whipped in free kick was brilliantly met by Claire Crosbie at the back post, but the defender’s powerful headed effort fell wide of the Spartans goal.

    This result will be a real confidence boost for Motherwell as they continue to build on last week’s derby day result over Hamilton.

    Paul Brownlie’s side may feel slightly aggrieved to have not found the winner as they controlled large parts of the game.
