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

Aston Oxborough

Dunfermline made the headlines on Saturday as they booked their spot in the Scottish Cup final, knocking out Falkirk at Hampden Park.

Aston Oxborough was right in the thick of the action and played a decisive role in their progression to the final, saving a spot kick in the penalty shootout win.

He’s now on 10 appearances in total for the Pars, who lost their first match in the Scottish Championship since February against St Johnstone who were crowned Champions at East End Park. That run of form has Neil Lennon’s side sitting in the promotion playoff spot as they gear up for a huge finish to their season.

• Appearances: 10
• Clean Sheets: 4

Jack McConnell

Jack McConnell is yet to make his debut for Cowdenbeath after joining the Lowland League side in January.

• Appearances: 0

Scott Williamson

Scott Williamson hasn’t been in action for Cowdenbeath since our last report, with the defender not featuring in the last eight games.

• Appearances: 18
• Assists: 2

Kofi Balmer

Kofi Balmer’s arrival at Bristol Rovers has coincided with a stunning turnaround in form. The Pirates have won 12 of their last 14 matches, including wins in all seven of their most recent outings.

Balmer has continued to be a big player for Rovers, with the defender now on 21 appearances in total this season, having made five since our last report.

He’s played the full 90 minutes in all five of those matches, keeping two clean sheets in the process. Rovers have moved well clear of any relegation threat and are now 15th in the table on 58 points. With two games remaining, they can get to 64 points, which could see them finish as high as 13th in the table.

• Appearances: 21
• Goals: 2
• Clean Sheets: 6

Jay Gillies

Jay Gillies has been involved with Cumbernauld Colts, with the defender now having seven appearances this season.

Starting and playing 90 minutes in four of the Colts’ last five matches, Gillies scored his first goal since moving to Broadwood as he opened the scoring in a 3-3 draw with Broxburn.

Cumbernauld Colts’ season is now complete as they finished sixth in the standings.

• Appearances: 3
• Goal: 1

Ewan Wilson

Ewan Wilson has played twice for Raith Rovers since our last report, and both times he came off the bench.

He came on for the final 23 minutes against Queen’s Park in a 2-0 win in Glasgow. He also played the final 11 minutes against Inverness CT in the final of the KDM Evolution Trophy. Raith Rovers lifted the trophy in a comfortable 4-1 win over the League One side.

Raith have two games left in the Scottish Championship and are five points behind Dunfermline, who are in the final playoff spot. They take on St Johnstone away from home before finishing off the league season at home to bottom-of-the-table Ross County.

• Appearances: 18
• Assists: 1

Campbell Forrest

Campbell Forrest has featured once for Hamilton Accies since our last report. That sole outing came against Stenhousemuir in early April as Forrest started and played 60 minutes.

It’s now-or-never time for Hamilton, who, with two games remaining, sit three points away from safety. Kelty Hearts are four points behind Accies.

They play mid-table Peterhead at home before travelling north to take on title-chasing Inverness in their season finale as the fear of relegation to League Two looms over the club following their 21-point deduction.

• Appearances: 6
• Assists: 1

Olly Whyte

There have been three more games for Olly Whyte at Stenhousemuir as they look to take the race to the League One title to the final day.

Whyte has started three of Stenhousemuir’s last four matches, but with one win in their last four games, it looks like they’ll have to earn promotion via the playoffs this season.

With two games to go, they are four points behind Inverness, who can win the league this weekend with a win at East Fife.

However, from a personal point of view, Whyte has reached over 40 games for the Warriors in what has been a terrific season in the middle of the pitch for the 19-year-old.

• Appearances: 41
• Goals: 8
• Assists: 1

Dylan Wells

Dylan Wells has been a regular for Stirling Albion in recent weeks, starting each of their last four matches.

He assisted Albion’s only goal in a 3-1 defeat to Clyde at the end of the last match before scoring his first goal for the club in the 2-2 draw with Elgin City last weekend.

He’s now on eight appearances for the season. Stirling Albion also have two games remaining and can no longer reach the promotion playoffs this season.

They are a point above Dumbarton, who are 9th in the table, and could catch Annan Athletic, who are 7th. There are no fears of relegation for Stirling, with Edinburgh City cut adrift at the bottom.

• Appearances: 8
• Assists: 3
• Goal: 1

Apostolos Stamatelopoulos

Apostolos Stamatelopoulos has re-adjusted to life back home nicely, as he continues to be a regular for Sydney FC in the A-League.

The forward has played a further three games, taking his appearance count to ten for the Aussie side. He scored his second goal for the club two weeks ago against Western Sydney Wanderers.

All of his last nine appearances have been starts. Sydney play their final game of the A-League regular campaign next weekend against Auckland before they begin their Final Series campaign.

• Appearances: 10
• Goals: 2

Nathan Lawson

Nathan Lawson has been playing for Cowdenbeath in recent weeks, starting two of their last three matches and coming off the bench in their most recent match.

Lawson scored his third goal of the season against Civil Service Strollers, with Cowdenbeath unbeaten in their last three matches as they rounded off the season strongly.

The Lowland League season is now complete with Cowdenbeath’s season now over.

• Appearances: 23
• Goals: 3
• Assists: 2

Matchday 22 of the 2025/26 SWPL campaign awaits the women of steel this weekend, as they return from the lengthy international break to contest the final Lanarkshire Derby of the season at New Douglas Park.

There were high expectations on the last derby day weekend prior to the international break, as both sides headed into the latest showdown with the stakes raised, as Hamilton stared down the prospect of relegation at the hands of their local rivals, with Motherwell continuing their push for survival.

The women of steel continued their recent derby day dominance, securing their sixth consecutive Lanarkshire derby victory, with Carla Boyce, Jenna penman and a Milly Boughton double securing a valuable victory that forced Aberdeen closer to the threat of the relegation playoffs. A result that mathematically relegated Hamilton from the Scottish top-flight.

The Tale of the Tape 

Motherwell 

Three successive victories for Motherwell have propelled themselves back into contention for finishing best of the rest, as they aim to finish at the top of the split.

The women of steel remain eighth in the Scottish Power Women’s Premier League table, one-point shy of Montrose, who they overcame over a fortnight ago. The Dons trail by six-points, with three fixtures remaining, as Motherwell continue their desire to evade the relegation playoff position below.

Motherwell have maintained an impressive record on derby day, earning six successive victories over their local rivals, with the women of steel focusing on extending their advantage this weekend.

Hamilton

Accies return to the Scottish top-flight, after comfortably securing the SPWPL2 title last season, has been a tough adjustment. Hamilton have yet to find their first three-points in the league, with their only victory this season coming against SPWPL2 leaders, Kilmarnock in the Sky Sports Cup.

The side have been defeated in their last five, scoring four, and conceding 27, with Montrose and Aberdeen defeating Accies in their opening two post-split fixtures this season.

Their two-points recorded this campaign have both came in stalemates with Aberdeen and Montrose. Accies last tasted victory on derby day in 2024, with Josephine Giard, and Chloe Muir overcoming Laura Berry’s late debut consolation.

Ticket Information 

Tickets can be purchased through the matchday turnstiles at New Douglas Park Both cash and card payments are accepted.

Defender, Jo Addie will depart the club due to commitments elsewhere.

A consistent presence in the Motherwell backline, Addie has been a mainstay in the Motherwell squad since joining from Glasgow Girls in 2021.

One of the longest-serving players at the club, Addie has been a valuable member of the women of steel, and like fellow departing teammate Katie Rice, has been a vital component in the development of women’s football at the club.

Addie started alongside Chelsie Watson at the core of the Motherwell backline in the club’s first appearance at the National Stadium, Hampden Park before being named amongst the substitutes in the club’s following appearance against Glasgow City.

In the last domestic campaign, Addie again played her part in re-writing the history books at the club, becoming part of the team that achieved their first-ever top-six finish in the top-flight of women’s football in Scotland.

After over five seasons in claret and amber, Addie will depart the women of steel, and she leaves with all the best wishes from those at the club.

All the best for the future, Jo!  

Defender, Katie Rice will depart the club due to work commitments elsewhere.

A dedicated and dependable member of the women of steel, midfielder Katie Rice has been a vital component in the development of women’s football at the club.

Following her first two seasons in ML1, Rice returned to Motherwell in 2021 after departing fellow SPWPL side Hibernian. Rice became an integral part of the squad, supporting the club through several historical accolades.

Rice featured in the squad that contested the first-ever domestic women’s match at the National Stadium, Hampden Park, as Motherwell lined up against rangers in the Scottish Cup Semi-Final. Rice, and her teammates would return to the Southside of Glasgow two-years later, facing Glasgow City, again in the Scottish Cup Semi-Final.

In the last domestic campaign, Rice again etched her name in the history books at the club, becoming part of the team that achieved their first-ever top-six finish in the top-flight of women’s football in Scotland.

After over seven seasons in claret and amber, Rice will call time on her tenure in claret and amber, and she leaves with all the best wishes from those at the club.

All the best for the future, Ricey!

Northern Ireland Senior team – Keri Halliday

The FIFA World Cup Qualifiers awaited the Northern Ireland Women’s National team, who were eagerly seeking to earn their first points of the qualification campaign. Manager Michael McArdle selected a 23-player panel for a home and away tie against the Malta National Team, with Forward Keri Halliday named amongst the squad.

The squad sought to secure their first victory of League B Group 2, with Switzerland and Turkey both level on six-points, as they chase qualification to the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil.

Starting the first-leg on home soil, Northern Ireland cruised to a commanding victory at Mourneview Park, with Halliday netting her first and second senior international goal, and assisted a third, as the hosts coasted to a four-nil advantage.

Later that week, under the scorching heat of the Maltese sunshine, both sides lined up for the reverse encounter, with Halliday again named in the starting XI. Northern Ireland made it six-points from six, defeating Malta four-two.

Scotland Under-19s – Sophie Townsley & Mia McArthur 

The Scotland Under-19s came agonisingly close to qualification for the UEFA European Championships in Bosnia and Herzegovina this summer. Gary Doctor named midfield duo Sophie Townsley and Mia McArthur in his squad for the second round of qualifiers.

Scotland’s qualification campaign came down to the final day, with a victory over Norway securing their place in the last-eight in Bosnia and Herzegovina following an opening day victory over Austria, and a dominant display against North Macedonia.

The young team fought till the end, but a late consolation could only half the deficit, as the young Norwegian side earned a narrow 2-1 victory. Sophie Townsley featured in all three fixtures, starting two, and coming on as a second-half substitute in the final game. Mia McArthur unfortunately missed out on the final stage of the qualification campaign, after being ruled out of action with an injury prior to matchday one.

Scotland Under-23s – Mason Clark & Jenna Penman

Named in the 20-player flight to Murcia, Spain, defender Jenna Penman retained her place in the squad after receiving a late squad selection for the previous round over a month ago. Joining her on the flight to the Spanish coast would be midfielder, Mason Clark, who received her late squad selection following Kenzie Weir’s addition to the Scotland senior team.

Then National Team faced France in Matchday one before meeting Denmark in the final encounter at the Pinatar Stadium. Clark and penman were unused substitutes in the opening defeat to France before both receiving minutes as second-half substitutes against the Danes, with Clark scoring a penalty in a closely-fought shootout defeat following a goalless afternoon.

Motherwell are back in action on Sunday 26 April, taking on Rangers at Ibrox in the William Hill Premiership. 

Kick off is 3pm.

Motherwell’s Fortunes

Motherwell will consider themselves unfortunate to come away empty handed from Tynecastle two weeks ago. A strong display saw Emmanuel Longelo open the scoring, before Hearts scored three goals with no reply to win the match.

It’s now five games without a win for the Steelmen, who will be looking for a similar performance to the one they produced at Ibrox last time out. A strong showing ended with no reward however, as Thelo Aasgaard’s goal the difference between the sides.

The Steelmen have recorded wins at Ibrox in their last two seasons.

Johnny Koutroumbis has experienced a turbulent journey at Motherwell Football Club. Joining in the summer of 2024, he would miss months of action at his new club through injury and play limited minutes in his first season. Under Michael Wimmer’s management, Koutroumbis made six of his eight appearances in his maiden season in Scotland.

By the summer, Koutroumbis was looking to make a far greater impact in Motherwell colours as he looked to show the supporters in North Lanarkshire why he’d earned his big move from Australia to Scotland.

The second season has seen him feature 29 times across all competitions and open his goal account in ML1. Establishing himself as Jens Berthel Askou’s regular, Koutroumbis’ momentum was blocked by an injury setback in January, which saw the defender ruled out of action for a number of months.

Now in April, the recovery process is well underway, and the Aussie is setting his sights on a return to action when the time is right.

“It’s been very difficult, of course, watching from the sidelines and not being able to help the boys,” the defender explained.

“I’ve done some things on the pitch now, and it’s gone well so far. I’m just waiting for a few more things that I need to tick off before I can go to the next stage. There have been a few of us in the injured camp, and we’re all in the same boat. We all have a laugh up there together, and we all chat, which helps, but obviously everyone wants to be out on the pitch.

“As soon as it comes to having to put work, the minutes and the effort in, there are no complaints from anyone. We all have a job to do, and even if it’s just minimal things you’re told to do from the physios, you give it your everything. It’s good to see that the likes of Cookie [Regan Charles-Cook] and Callum [Hendry] are part of the team now. Callum has been out for a lengthy period of time, and I’m so glad for him that he’s back playing.

“Zach [Robinson] has done so well to cope with his serious injury. He’s always upbeat and the type of guy you need around you when you’re maybe not having the best day. I have a lot of admiration for how he’s dealt with his setback and worked his way through his recovery process.

“We all want to be playing, but it’s just part of the game. When an injury initially happens, it’s a blow. It feels like you want the ground to open up and swallow you whole. Once the emotions settle, and you realise it’s part of the game, you have to come to the realisation that there is a process you need to follow in order to get back out there. Sometimes it’s quicker, sometimes it’s slower, but either way, it’s a rollercoaster of emotions.

“You are employed by a club to go out there and train and play, and part of your identity as a footballer is to play football. When that’s taken away from you through injury, you do feel a bit lost. The emotions are high at the beginning, but when you start to integrate with the boys in the changing room and you get back out training, you feel normal again.”

Although a spell on the sidelines can be mentally and physically exhausting, Koutroumbis did receive some good news. His efforts and consistency this season earned him a new contract with the club, which will see him remain at Motherwell until 2028.

If he sees through that deal, it would mean the defender would be on the books at Fir Park for four years, a long duration for any modern player at a club. With that commitment comes optimism for the future. But for Koutroumbis, it wasn’t just about securing his own future and having stability; it was more about continuing to work with a club heading in an aligned direction.

“I’m over the moon,” Koutroumbis said.

“There is real excitement for what this club has planned in the future. The direction the club is going in, the standards being raised and the expectation that we don’t take a step back now are all key elements for me. We’ve proved it predominantly all season that any team can play football. Whether you’re a club that has a big budget or a low one, if you have players and coaches that are going in the same direction, that all think the same and give each other confidence, you’re in a very good place.

“It’s very rare to have so many aligned things in football, and when I was offered the contract, I couldn’t think of any place I’d want to be. I was so excited to stay here because I can see the direction the club is travelling in, and in football, that isn’t always the case. I actually didn’t realise until I came and played football in Europe that the turnover of players and coaches is quite frequent if the club isn’t performing.

“To have that stability is rare in Europe, and we can build layer on layer, set the foundation, and kick on from there. I was excited about what’s to come in the future. As I get older, you sort of look at football as not only the love and passion you have for the sport but also as the business that it is. If you think about businesses and if they don’t have clear directions or they have internal chaos, they won’t get the results they need. As a player, it’s a team sport. Each player has a role to play.

“If we can keep the boys here, the boys who have been here for just this year and even before that, it’s a big bonus. Boys know what it’s like within these walls. The standards don’t drop once we reach these expected levels. It’s hard to go backwards now. For boys coming in next year, they’ll quickly realise where the standards are. That’s what made me think it would be a good idea to stay.

“Money comes and goes, but if I want to play football for a long-term, I have to think about all of this. I love Motherwell. Scotland is a beautiful country, and I can’t wait for the next part of my story here.”

Koutroumbis has witnessed firsthand the journey the club has been on in recent seasons. Two years is a short time in any other professional industry, but in football, a lot can happen.

And it’s those changes that give him the hunger to strive for more in the near future.

“If one player thinks he can cut corners, he’ll be found out very quickly,” the 28-year-old added.

“Not that people do here. I just think there’s a cohesiveness within the team, and a lot of people have spoken about the direction we’re going in, but that correlates with everyone’s thoughts and mindset within the building, from the backroom staff to coaches, players and even the fans. I think what we’ve shown the fans is that we can play, and they expect us to play now.

“We can’t really go away from these things because this is what we expect now. It doesn’t mean that it’s going to stay the same every year because things do have to change at some point. Things will continue to evolve in a good way.”

With his future secure, an excitement within himself about his working environment and a drive to push forward, Koutroumbis takes a moment to reflect on his journey in the claret and amber.

Far from straight forward, far from his ideal plan and far from what he expected, he can allow himself a small moment of self-appreciation for coming through the hardship and hurdles with a smile on his face and a work ethic that would see him appreciated by supporters and teammates alike.

“Proud is maybe a good word to use”, he laughed.

“I guess I always backed myself. When I wasn’t playing in my first season, there was almost a bit of delusion on my part. I was trying to delude myself into thinking this is not what you are as a footballer. You’re not a bad player. There’s a reason you’re in Europe playing for Motherwell. But it was a tough time.

“It just boiled down to consistency. Showing up every day and giving your best. As long as you give your best, you can go home and you’ve got no reason to look back and have regrets. Even if it’s just been training or a session in the gym. You just have to give it your all. And if it doesn’t work out, then fine. But I can look myself in the mirror and say that I’ve done everything I could.

“I didn’t read too many comments from my contract extension announcement, but the ones that I did see online were positive. I was quite honoured to see so many good things said about me. It just goes back to doing your best out on the pitch. When you get older, you think about what goes on beyond the matches.

“You also experience life a little bit more. And for people that come to the games, it’s not nothing. It’s not like they’ve all rocked up at the same time and they’re getting in for free, with free food and drinks when they’re in the stadium. It’s not the case. People sacrifice money, time and effort to come here, and that’s when they win, lose or draw. So, why would anyone go out there and not try their best for these fans?

“I appreciate their appreciation of my hard work and effort.”

His second season at Fir Park is one he’ll remember with great fondness. Part of a team who created a new club-record for home clean sheets, beat Celtic for the first time in over a decade, and achieved a top-six finish for the first time in four years. But there will also be a hint of what could have been for Koutroumbis.

But that is purely on a personal level and is a mark of his character. 2025/26 was a season of great achievement, but when the momentum was firmly in his favour, his January injury prevented the ending to the campaign that he would have wished.

“It’s a shame because I felt like I could have kept kicking on,” he explained.

“There were goals I had for this season that I wanted to accomplish. Some I have managed, others I haven’t. Unfortunately, with this injury, I felt I could have reached more, but that’s not to say the season is finished. Overall, I did what I could. Sometimes I could have done more, and those are the small regrets I look back at.

“For example, some stuff I tried maybe didn’t come off in games, but that’s where I’ll keep working. Overall, I’m pleased with how it’s gone this season. It’s set the bar for me for next year, and I want to increase my numbers further. Whether that’s minutes, goals or assists. It’s been a good season, but I want to do a lot better than what I’ve done so far, and I’ve got another two years to prove to myself that I can.

“There’s a level of comfortability knowing that I’m going to be here for another two years. So, that’s another two years working hard, putting my head down to push forward and hopefully be part of a very successful football club.”

For the first time since 2012/13, Motherwell have more than one player in the PFA Team of the Season. 

Calum Ward, Paul McGinn, Elliot Watt, Elijah Just and Tawanda Maswanhise have all been voted by their fellow pros as part of the best 11 players in the William Hill Premiership this season.

Well done, lads!

Calum Ward

With an injury to Aston Oxborough during pre-season, the responsibility of first-choice goalkeeper fell onto Calum Ward’s shoulders. Despite arriving in February 2025, Ward made his Motherwell debut in the opening match of the season against Clyde in the Premier Sports Cup.

The shot-stopper never looked back from that point onwards, and despite an added pressure of playing in a unique and demanding possession-based system, Ward has thrived and gone on to break club records.

With 20 clean sheets to his name, Ward overtook Darren Randolph’s record of most clean sheets by a single keeper in a season, a record that had stood since 2011. The Steelmen also went on a run of nine consecutive clean sheets at Fir Park this season, also setting a new club-record.

A remarkable maiden campaign in Motherwell colours, Ward has excelled between the sticks as he leads the way for the Golden Glove in the William Hill Premiership this season.

Paul McGinn

Known as Mr Consistent by the Motherwell supporters, captain Paul McGinn has bounced back from a fluke injury season last term and has led by example this season.

Fitting seamlessly into the Jens Berthel Askou system, McGinn is a prominent feature in the backline that has kept 22 clean sheets this season, making 35 appearances across the full season, missing just two Premiership matches in 25/26.

His leadership and calmness have helped Motherwell become the second-highest team in the Premiership for average possession, with the Scottish defender seeing the ball for large parts of the game. At 35, this is his first time in the PFA Team of the Season, highlighting just how strong a season he’s had.

Elliot Watt

A less than successful stint in Scottish football last season with St Johnstone did not deter Elliot Watt from coming back up north of the border for a second crack.

Known already for his skill on the ball and ability to link the team, Watt has shown everyone in Scotland what he is capable of this season. His exceptional passing stats have him near the top of most metrics for positive passes and moves into the final third, but the midfielder has also aided in the goals department.

Scoring five goals this season, which included the second in a 2-0 win over Celtic, attention on the 26-year-old has grown over the last 12 months, with many intrigued about his inclusion in the Scotland squad in the coming months. But for now, Watt continues to be at the heart of everything that is good at Motherwell FC, and he takes his place, rightfully, in the PFA Team of the Season.

Elijah Just

A summer arrival, Elijah Just came in as an unknown quantity but quickly established himself as a starter in Jens Berthel Askou’s side.

What really got him noticed was a scintillating display against Hearts at Tynecastle in August, where for 89 minutes, both sets of supporters were in awe of his close control, tireless work ethic and ability to find pockets of space all over the pitch.

As the season has gone on, Just has been an integral player in the system and a standout most weeks. Having played 38 games so far in all competitions this season, Just has 15 goal contributions across the campaign. Seven goals, including a crucial last-minute winner against Livingston, and eight assists, the joint third highest in the William Hill Premiership, are just the stats on the surface of his sublime season.

Appreciated by Motherwell supporters and admired by other fanbases, Just has caught the eye of everyone this season.

Tawanda Maswanhise

In his first season at Motherwell, Tawanda Maswanhise showed promise and was a bright spark in the side. In his second season, he has become the talisman for the side.

He currently boasts a record of 17 goals in 30 William Hill Premiership matches as he fights it out with Benjamin Nygren, Claudio Braga and Lawrence Shankland for the golden boot.

With 22 club goals in all competitions this season, Maswanhise has caught the headlines for all the correct reasons this season. His pace, strength and lethal finishing have caused every team’s defensive backline major issues during the 2025/26 season.

He joined the 20-goal club at Motherwell following his brace against Dundee United in February, which brought him into a special group of MFC legends, including Michael Higdon, Willie Pettigrew and Dixie Deans.
