Motherwell Football Club and the Well Society have today announced changes to their leadership, further strengthening the link between the club and its fan-owned majority shareholder.
David brings a wealth of experience from a successful international business career, holding global leadership roles in finance and risk management. He brings many years of experience serving as a director on executive boards.
In changes to the Well Society leadership, Derek Watson has been appointed Society Chair, succeeding Philip Speedie, who steps back due to personal commitments. Amber Johnstone and Martin Grey have been appointed Deputy Chairs. Between them, Derek, Amber and Martin bring a host of experience in strategy, corporate communications, human resources and transformation across the private, public and third sectors.
“This is an exciting time for Motherwell FC,” Chairman Kyrk Macmillan said.
“Strengthening our leadership and the connection between the club and The Well Society is vital as we build on the significant progress made over the past year, both on and off the pitch. We’re committed to maintaining that momentum and delivering for our supporters.
“I think it’s also important that I place on record our thanks to Philip for his hard work and endeavour during his time as Well Society Chair.”
“The ambition within the UK’s first top-flight, fan-owned football club is clear – to keep punching above our weight,” new Well Society Chair Derek Watson added.
“This is a team effort: from the Club Executive Board to the Well Society Board, our members and our supporters.
“It’s right we thank both Philip and Tom Feely, who have made significant contributions to the success of our fan-owned club, and in particular Philip, who has led the programme of Well Society reform. We’ve all got a role to play, and the best way to drive progress is to join the Well Society, helping our club grow and flourish.”
“It’s a huge honour to be elected to the Well Society and now appointed to the Club Executive Board,” new Motherwell FC Executive Board member David Macfarlane stated.
“I’m joining a talented leadership team that’s driving real change at Motherwell. I’m committed to bringing my business experience and my lifelong passion for the club to help take us further forward.”
Lukas Fadinger talks about his move from Austria this summer and also touches on the style being implemented at the club.
The Austrian is looking for the team to go one better than they did on Saturday against Hearts, as they search for their first win of the league season.
Manager Jens Berthel Askou refuses to get drawn into any narratives or added emotion involving the return of former manager Stuart Kettlewell on Saturday, with the boss focused on the action on the pitch alone.
The manager discusses the recent praise his side have received for their performances of late, and how winning the first league of the season isn’t just the sole objective.

Winger and July player of the month Tawanda Maswanhise has received a call-up for Zimbabwe.
The Warriors continue their World Cup qualifying campaign in September, playing two matches.
First up, it’s Benin on Friday 5 September before facing Rwanda on Tuesday 9 September.
Zimbabwe are currently bottom of Group C but are well in touch with qualification from the group. Just four points separate second place and Zimbabwe going into matchdays six and seven.
Matchday three of the 2025/26 SWPL campaign approaches this weekend, as they head across Glasgow to face Rangers at Broadwood Stadium.
Motherwell have had to endure a frustrating opening weekend, and first home encounter of the season, with Glasgow City and Montrose both emerging with comfortable victories.
Motherwell’s woes from Springburn persisted last weekend at K-Park, with the hosts struggling to implement their game plan in the opening phase of play, and former Well strikers Kaela McDonald-Nguah and Sophia Martin both completed braces to seal an assured 1-4 victory.
The Tale of the Tape
Motherwell
Ready to put a disappointing weekend behind them, Motherwell head to Springburn determined to earn their first-points of the campaign.
Paul Brownlie will be without goalscorer Sophie Black and fellow Rangers loanee Lily Boyce, with the duo unable to face their parent club.
The women of steel will be motivated to improve upon their recent record against the gers, with Motherwell yet to score in their previous three-meetings.
Rangers
Since taking over in the Ibrox hot-seat, former Motherwell Assistant Leanne Crichton has maintained an unbeaten start to her Rangers tenure, with the Glasgow-side hitting Montrose for six on the opening day before a closely-fought 2-2 stalemate with Hearts at Ibrox.
Ticket Information
Tickets can be purchased through the matchday turnstiles at Broadwood Stadium or ahead of time HERE. Both cash and card payments are accepted.
Matchday Travel
Aaron Thomson has been named in the latest Scotland Under 17 squad.
The youngster will travel with the squad to Portugal to take part in a tournament.
The tournament is preparation for the squad ahead of Euro qualifying next month. Brian McLaughlin’s side will play three matches during their stay in Portugal, facing Serbia, Portugal and Italy.
This squad was named following a short training camp earlier this month.
New signing Oscar Priestman was named in the Australian Under 23 squad, which was announced earlier this week.
The young Socceroos travel to China PR, where they will play three games as they look to qualify for the AFC Under 23 Asian Cup.
Tony Vidmar’s side kick off their qualifying campaign against Northern Mariana Islands on Wednesday 3 September, before taking on Timor-Leste on Saturday 6 September.
They play their third and final match of the international window on Tuesday 9 September, against China PR. The main tournament takes place in Saudi Arabia next year, and to qualify, they need to finish as one of the 11 group winners or the four best second-placed teams.
Oscar Priestman has arrived from Western Sydney Wanderers for an undisclosed fee, subject to international clearance.
The midfielder has penned a three-year deal.
“We’re very excited to welcome Oscar Priestman to Motherwell FC,” Jens Berthel Askou said.
“Over the years scouting the Australian market has been very fruitful for us, and through data and our scouting network we have identified Oscar to be our next success story from down under.
“At 22 he’s already had good exposure in the A-League. He’s shown his big talent and potential as a dynamic and athletic central midfielder with good feet, solid body language and a great work rate. We look forward to developing his abilities even further and seeing him grow in our environment.
“He’ll be with us this week before he travels to China during the international break to secure a place in the Asian Cup for the Australian U23s.”
Priestman is a product of the Sydney FC academy, where he went on to play two games for the Sydney FC first-team. Working his way to the top, Western Sydney Wanderers brought the centre-midfielder to the CommBank Stadium in 2023.
His first season there was a roaring success. Playing 25 games across the season, with his standout performances earning him a spot in the Australia Under 23 squad for the first time, Priestman quickly earned a new contract at the end of his first campaign.
In his second season, he featured a further 26 times in the heart of the Western Sydney midfield. With over 50 games played in the Australian top-flight, with the 22-year-old playing alongside former Manchester United and Chelsea midfielder Juan Mata, Priestman now makes his first move outside of his country, looking to take the next step in his career.
He follows his former Western Sydney teammates Zac Sapsford and Nicolas Milanovic to Scotland, who joined Dundee United and Aberdeen, respectively, earlier this summer.
“I’m really grateful and excited to have the opportunity to represent this special football club,” Oscar Priestman stated.
“I see this as a big chance to progress my career, and the environment here with all the players and staff seems the perfect fit for me. There’s been a lot of travel over the last couple of days, and there’s more to come over the next couple of weeks.
“I’m looking forward to getting settled in Scotland and getting to work. I can’t wait to play in front of all the supporters at Fir Park, and hopefully I can contribute to the team having a really successful season. I watched the highlights from the games so far, and it looks like such an exciting team.
“Bring it on.”
