August was gruelling, but the performances were positive. One thing was missing however, the first league win. 

Fresh from the international break, three games were due to be played in September. It was a huge month this early on in the season for Motherwell, with a place at Hampden at stake and a chance to get off the mark in the league.

New signings Regan Charles-Cook and Stephen Welsh sit down to break down every game in September, and the emotions they felt on the pitch playing.

Elliot Watt has been named the G4 Claims player of the month for September. 

Comfortably winning in the voting against nominees Stephen O’Donnell, Stephen Welsh and Calum Ward.

Watt has been an ever-present in the Motherwell midfield this season and has been at the heart of the new style of play adopted by manager Jens Berthel Askou.

A stand out performer in every game he’s featured in Watt, picks up his first player of the month award at the third time of asking.

Well done, Elliot.

We have a number of players out on loan at present. Let’s see how they have been getting on. 

Matty Connelly

Matty Connelly has been enjoying a run of games between the sticks with Airdrie this season in the Championship.

He has started and played all 90 minutes in each of the last eight matches for the Diamonds. Keeping one clean sheet in the process, Airdrie are finding life difficult in the Championship this season and are currently bottom of the league with 0 wins thus far.

• Appearances: 8
• Clean Sheets: 1

Scott Williamson

Defender Scott Williamson has picked up plenty minutes for Cowdenbeath so far this season.

He has played a further four games since our last report, starting three and coming on as a second half substitute in the other match. With five wins in 12 matches in the Lowland League, Cowdenbeath currently sit ninth in the table. Williamson recorded his second assist in Cowdenbeath colours in their last outing against East Stirlingshire.

He played the full 90 minutes in Motherwell B’s KDM Evolution Trophy opener against Hamilton, where the young team earned their only point of the campaign so far, where Williamson and the rest of the backline kept a clean sheet in the 0-0 stalemate.

• Appearances: 7
• Assists: 2

Ewan Wilson

Ewan Wilson has got his first minutes for Raith Rovers under his belt since our last report, starting the last three matches against Airdrie, Arbroath and Ross County. Beating the Diamonds and drawing 0-0 with Arbroath, Wilson played the full 90 minutes against Airdrie and Ross County, and was substituted on the 83rd minute in his second appearance.

Rovers are third in the standings after a strong start to the season, as they look to keep up with leaders St Johnstone.

• Appearances: 3
• Clean Sheets: 1

Olly Whyte

Olly Whyte is up to 12 appearances for Stenhousemuir already this season. A regular feature in League One, Whyte has also been representing the Warriors in the KDM Evolution Trophy.

Whyte scored his first Stenhousemuir goal against Peterhead last month. Out of his 12 appearances this season, ten have been from starts. Stenhousemuir have only lost one game this season which came against Hamilton, and have won all their KDM Evolution Trophy matches.

• Appearances: 12
• Goals: 1
• Assists: 1 

Nathan Lawson

Nathan Lawson has also featured regularly for Cowdenbeath and Motherwell B since our last report. The 17-year-old forward is now on seven appearances for Cowdenbeath, starting two matches.

Despite elimination from the Scottish Cup to the hands of Benburb, Lawson and Cowdenbeath will be pleased with their start in the Lowland League, having only lost five games from the opening 12.

Lawson has also played in three of Motherwell B’s KDM Evolution Trophy matches, and found the back of the net against East Kilbride in their second match of the league phase.

• Appearances: 7
• Goals: 0

Elijah Just

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.

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.”

It’s time to vote for your G4 Claims player of the month for September. 

Elliot Watt, Stephen O’Donnell, Calum Ward and Stephen Welsh are all up for nomination.

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.
