Experienced goalkeeper Chloe Logan has completed a loan deal until the end of the season from Celtic. 

The SWPL and Scottish Cup title winner became the first player in the history of Celtic Women to graduate and play through every age category before making her senior first-team appearance.

The 29-year-old stopper established herself as the first-choice player between the sticks after a spell at Stirling University. She returned for her second Celtic debut in 2019, after being named in the Old Firm derby in front of a capacity crowd at K-Park. 

From that moment, Logan remained Celtic’s number one, and even earned a place in then Scotland manager Pedro Martinez Losa’s 26-player first-team squad in the Pinatar Cup, alongside lee Alexander, Eartha Cummings and Jenna Fife in 2022 until a serious knee injury left her sidelined until 2023.

“I’m really excited to be at the club,” Logan said.

“I really wanted to get back playing regular first-team action, and Motherwell was a really exciting opportunity for me.

“I can’t wait to get started.”

Ready for more competitive action, Logan has joined the women of steel until the end of the season after signing a three-year contract extension at Celtic last season.

“This is a really strong addition to our goalkeeping department,” Head Coach Paul brownlie added.

“After Emma was recalled by Hearts, we knew we needed to find an experienced player between the sticks, and Chloe is exactly that.

“Chloe is extremely experienced at the top of the women’s game in Scotland, and will provide vital competition between herself and Rebecca this season.”

With the first league win of the season in the bag last week, Motherwell travelled to the home of the Scottish champions, Celtic.

Many were intrigued to see if the Steelmen could implement their style of play against Celtic, but Jens Berthel Askou’s men did just that and put in a terrific display.

After going one down to a penalty, Apostolos Stamatelopoulos drew his side level with a powerful header before the half time mark. Ten years on since their last victory at Celtic Park, Stamatelopoulos put Motherwell on track to end that drought, with the Aussie netting from the spot to put Motherwell ahead.

Motherwell’s brave approach on the ball was commended and impressive largely during the 90 minutes, but Celtic capitalised on poor decision-making to net a leveller and give Celtic hope of turning the game around.

After steadying the game and looking likely to get a point, Motherwell’s hearts would be broken in stoppage time when Daizen Maeda scored to spark wild celebrations amongst the home support, a compliment in itself for the effort and performance Motherwell displayed on the day.

A harsh and cruel ending wouldn’t dampen the Motherwell spirits, as focus turns to the return to action following the international break against Falkirk.

Elijah Just will not travel for international duty with New Zealand this month. 

Just was called up by his country for their two friendly matches against Poland and Norway but will remain in Scotland as he nears a return to action following a spell on the sidelines, and aims to be back in full training early next week.

Just last featured against Dundee at the start of September, but manager Jens Berthel Askou confirmed prior to the match against Celtic that the forward was close to a return.

Motherwell tasted defeat for the first time this season, and for the first time in 14 matches, losing 3-2 to Celtic in Glasgow.

A double from Apostolos Stamatelopoulos had the visitors in the lead, but a cruel injury-time winner from Daizen Maeda consigned the Steelmen to defeat for the first time.

Following a 14-game unbeaten run, the club’s best unbeaten run since 1952, Jens Berthel Askou and the squad travelled to the east end of Glasgow to face a Celtic side that was yet to taste defeat in domestic action this season.

Paul McGinn returned to the starting 11 for the first time since the end of August, with the Motherwell skipper making his 100th appearance for the club in the process. Johnny Koutroumbis also came into the 11 following his first Motherwell goal last weekend, with Stephen O’Donnell dropping to the bench.

The Steelmen have adopted a brave possession-based style of play and didn’t deviate from that throughout the opening exchanges, although Celtic almost took advantage as Callum McGregor took advantage of a loose pass, but Calum Ward was on hand to make a fine save.

Motherwell had their fair share of the ball but couldn’t carve out a chance to test Kasper Schmeichel in the Celtic goal.

A cross from the right was headed clear as far as McGregor, whose volley into the ground skidded up and appeared to hit the hand of Regan Charles-Cook. Referee Calum Scott pointed to the spot, and Kalechi Iheanacho slotted home from the spot.

Well continued to look dangerous and got a reward for their play shortly before half-time.

Tawanda Maswanhise delivered a low cross from the right, which Stamatelopoulos stooped low and headed in. After a long VAR check, despite clearly being onside, the goal eventually stood to send the sold-out Motherwell contingent wild.

The second half continued in the same vein – Motherwell being confident and composed on the ball and trying to take command of the game.

Next, a huge moment in the game as Maswanhise edged his way into the box and went down under a challenge. The referee didn’t seem interested, but VAR stepped in, and upon reflection, there was clear contact on the Zimbabwean’s foot.

Stamatelopoulos stepped up and notched his third goal in two games, blasting past Schmeichel.

The lead didn’t last too long, however.

Well tried to pass out from the back, but Benjamin Nygren was on hand to intercept and slot home for the equaliser. It seemed cruel on the Motherwell side, who had played superbly, but a further sting in the tail came along.

In added time, the third minute of seven added, Celtic worked the ball down the left, and the ball was eventually crossed to Daizen Maeda to nod home.

Motherwell Team: Ward, Koutroumbis, McGinn, Gordon, Longelo, Fadinger, Watt, Said, Charles-Cook, Maswanhise, Stamatelopoulos.

Motherwell Subs: Oxborough, O’Donnell, Balmer, Halliday, Priestman, McAllister, Ross, McColm, Osong. 

The manager gives his thoughts on a 3-2 defeat to Celtic, the first loss of the season.

The Steelmen took an early second-half lead but were left sickened by an injury time winner for the home side.

Regan Charles-Cook will join up with the Grenada national side following an international call-up.

After missing out on Grenada’s fixtures in September to focus on getting match fit, Charles-Cook is back in the squad for their upcoming matches.

Grenada have two friendlies lined up for October. They take on the British Virgin Islands on Wednesday 8 October in their home country, before facing Cuba on Sunday 12 October.

• Grenada v British Virgin Islands
• Wednesday 8 October
• 11pm Kick Off
• Kirani James Athletics Stadium, Grenada

• Grenada v Cuba 
• Sunday 12 October
• 12:30am Kick Off 
• Kirani James Athletics Stadium, Grenada

Johnny Koutroumbis reflects on scoring his first Motherwell goal last weekend against Aberdeen, and speaks of the importance about getting over the line. 

The Australian discusses what it has been like behind the scenes during the transition of style being implemented by the manager, and also talks about the confidence and bravery amongst the players going into any matches.

Manager Jens Berthel Askou believes Motherwell will be coming up against a much sharper Celtic side on Sunday in the William Hill Premiership, but says his side aren’t going to just make up the numbers and thinks it’s a good opportunity be brave against a top-level opposition. 

The Motherwell boss wants his team to put on a good performance, but is always aiming for consistency across the season after a strong start to the campaign.
