Liam Kelly has been captain this season and has endured all the highs and the lows that 2022/23 has had to offer.

The Scotland stopper says the players have learned a lot about themselves and football this season but is pleased that the upturn in form has meant everyone connected with the club is on a high.

Kelly says manager Kettlewell is still pushing the players every day in training and putting demands on individuals so they can finish ‘best of the rest’ in the table.

Stuart Kettlewell wasn’t pleased with his sides’ first half performance against St Johnstone, but the second half turnaround showed that his team are not lacking any end of season motivation. 

The manager discussed Nathan McGinley’s staggered return to the training pitch, where he is looking to return after a 14 month absence.

Kettlewell is expecting his former side to be robust when they visit Fir Park in the cinch Premiership but is fully expecting a competitive performance from his players.

The Story of the Match

The Steelmen go into this one knowing they have safely retained their Premiership status for another season.

Focus is now firmly on maintaining seventh place although they will face a Ross County side who will have taken a lot of confidence from their win over Dundee United last weekend.

That three points lifted the Dingwall side off the bottom of the table and only a point from safety.

Former Motherwell man Jordan White bagged a hat-trick in that game but comes up against a Motherwell side who have had two clean sheets on the bounce and have the league’s in-form striker in Kevin van Veen up top.

The Dutchman has score five times against County this season and will be looking for more in his quest to reach 30 goals for the season.

MATCH OFFICIALS

He joined in 2021 and instantly became a fan favourite. 

Kevin van Veen is adored by the Motherwell fans after his two year stint at the club has brought goals, flair and excitement so far.

Currently on 26 goals with three games remaining in the season, he is breaking all sorts of post-war records at Motherwell, which in turn meant he was nominated for the PFA player of the year.

Although eventually missing out to Celtic’s Kyogo, Van Veen will look back on this season as one of his most successful ones to date.

However, it wasn’t always plain sailing for the Dutchman who actually stepped away from football in his younger years. Despite this, he couldn’t shake the football bug and was eventually scouted in the lower leagues in Holland before joining the PSV academy where he nurtured his trade.

Now at 31, he is feeling better than ever and has had time to reflect on the support he has received from the Fir Park faithful which only spurs him on more to keep them excited at his performances.

Motherwell signed off the Reserve League campaign with a 1-2 win over Livingston.

The win at Tony Macaroni Stadium means the Steelmen finish second in the cinch Reserve League.

Jack Aitchison scored last week and was first on the scoresheet this week after half an hour. A ball into the box wasn’t properly cleared and the striker was on hand to apply the finish.

Daniel Hunter doubled the lead five minutes into the second half with a fine strike from 25 yards.

Livi pulled a goal back just moments later but Motherwell held on to claim all three points.

Motherwell:  Oxborough, Garcia, Blaney, Dunachie, Mugabi, Speirs, Wells, McKinstry, Aithchison, Hunter, O’Donnell

Motherwell subs: Bogan, McDermott, Ferrie, Gould, L. Ross, Adam, Tambwe

Our very own Max Johnston has been shortlisted for the Scottish Football Writers’ Association Young Player of the Year award. 

The 19-year-old spent the first half of the season on loan at Cove Rangers before returning to his parent club in January.

Scoring twice and assisting three times in 15 appearances for Motherwell this season, the youngster has quickly established himself as first choice right wing back under Stuart Kettlewell.

Alongside Johnston, the Writers association has Lyall Cameron of Dundee, Charlie Reilly of Albion Rovers and St Johnstone’s Adam Montgomery.

Only twice in Motherwell FC history has a player scooped the accolade.

David Turnbull won this award back in 2019, following in the footsteps of James McFadden, who won in season 2001/02 with Johnston now in contention to become the third player.

Kevin van Veen has been nominated for the PFA cinch Premiership player of the year. 

Voted by the players in the league, the Dutchman was the first Motherwell player in ten years to be named in the PFA team of the year.

Van Veen is one of four players nominated for the prestigious award, with the awards night taking place this coming Sunday.

Reo Hatate, Kyogo and Calum McGregor of Celtic are also up for the award.

Darren Randolph, Shaun Hutchinson, Nicky Law and Michael Higdon were all named in the 2012/13 team of the year however it would be only the latter who was nominated for the player of year.

Higdon scooped the award, having scored 27 goals throughout the course of the season.

Kevin van Veen has bolstered a similarly impressive tally this season, with the Dutchman sitting on 25 goals in all competitions with four games left to play.

Scoring in the last seven consecutive games, Van Veen has equalled Dixie Deans’ seven game consecutive goalscoring record in the 1968/69 season, however this was set in the second division.

The last player to score in seven consecutive games in the top flight, was Ian St John in 1959/60 campaign.

“To be nominated for the award is an incredible achievement in itself,” manager Stuart Kettlewell said.

“Since my arrival, Kevin has shown determination, enthusiasm and 100% focus to everything that we have tried to do.

“We are lucky to have him leading the line up front but he is also an excellent team mate.

“When you look at the players who are also up for nomination, they are some of the best in the league.

“With the season that Kevin has had, he has every right to be in that illustrious group.

“I want to personally congratulate Kevin on this magnificent achievement.”

Van Veen’s prolific goalscoring form this season has seen him move into the top ten, all-time goalscorers at the club, just two goals behind James McFadden, despite playing 31 games fewer.

“It’s a real privilege to be up for the award,” Van Veen added.

“I said at the end of last season that I knew I could score more than I did in 2021/22 and I wanted to follow through on that.

“This season has been tricky for a number of reasons and the full team has had to really stick together throughout it all.

“There is a real togetherness at the club and that’s why I thank all my teammates, staff and fans, all of whom have helped me reach my targets this year. The support I have had this season has been incredible.

“I wouldn’t be nominated if it wasn’t for them.”
