Motherwell’s Fortunes

Motherwell cruised to a 2-0 win over Livingston last time out. It’s now two losses in their last 17 matches and the Steelmen have registered 18 clean sheets in all competitions this campaign.

Tawanda Maswanhise moved to the top of the goalscoring charts in the Scottish Premiership, with the Zimbabwean international scoring his 12th and 13th league goals this season in the win on Saturday.

Elijah Just’s assist moved him joint top of the assist table for the league too, with the forward on six for the league season.

Opposition Report

Dundee are ninth in the table following their 0-0 draw at St Mirren on Saturday. Stephen Pressley’s side have been in decent form, picking up four wins out of their last seven matches.

Defender Clark Robertson remains their top scorer on four goals this season. The Dark Blues have proved to be stiff competition for Jens Berthel Askou’s men this season. Although initially taking the lead at Dens in September, Dundee fought back in the second half to earn a point on home soil.

It took until the latter stages in the reverse fixture at Fir Park for Callum Slattery to find the breakthrough to earn a hard-fought 1-0 win.

Jens Berthel Askou gives his thoughts as a first half double from Tawanda Maswanhise was enough to earn the Steelmen all three points in Livingston.

Fir Park will be the venue for the Sky Sports Cup final once again this year, with Rangers taking on Glasgow City. 

The final will be contested on Sunday 29 March, with a 3pm kick-off.

Tickets will be sold in the John Hunter Stand initially. Pricing is:

• £12 adults
• £5 concession (over 65 / under 16)
• £30 family ticket – 2 adults and 2 kids

Filip Stuparevic has left the club, with his contract being terminated by mutual agreement.

“Filip has had a hard time making an impact in the first team due to his long-term injury,” Jens Berthel Askou said.

“I’m happy for Filip that he will now get the chance to restart his football career somewhere else and wish him all the best going forward.”

The Serbian forward departs Fir Park having made four appearances for the club, scoring one goal.

Stuparevic suffered a serious knee injury in February last year whilst out on loan at Morton, where he scored six goals in 18 games, and spent a large period of time on sidelines following his return to Fir Park.

Both parties have now agreed that following his recovery from the injury, this would be the correct decision to allow Filip the opportunity to pursue opportunities elsewhere. We thank Filip for his efforts and wish him the very best for the future.

Motherwell Football Club is delighted to confirm K Electrical Wholesale as the official sleeve partner of the first-team squad until the end of 2026/27 season.

“We are incredibly excited to partner with Motherwell FC,” Derek Knox Founder of K Electrical Wholesale commented.

“This collaboration aligns perfectly with our values of community and excellence.”

From humble beginnings working from a garage in September 2020, K Electrical has rapidly evolved into a leading trade hub. The company now supports the entire Central Belt – from Greenock to Edinburgh.

Their growth is fuelled by a team of seven specialists boasting over 100 years of combined industry experience. This expertise allows them to service everyone from local one-man contractors to large-scale electrical engineers and industrial factories.

As a local company, we are proud of this partnership, and we look forward to supporting the club’s future success”.

“We are delighted to partner with another local business that is truly invested in the club’s long-term success and community values,” commercial director Suzanne Reid at Motherwell FC added.

“I thank Derek for his support and look forward to working with him and growing the partnership long-term.”

Eythor Bjørgolfsson is delighted to have already made his debut and the new striker explains the quick process of joining the club once he knew Motherwell were interested. 

Bjørgolfsson discusses what the differences are from his current team to those he’s played with before, but believes this move is going to be the correct one for him to thrive.

Jens Berthel Askou wants to see a better version of his team than the one that won in stoppage-time in West Lothian earlier in the season. Askou believes his team will need to perform to a higher level if they wish to come away with all three points once again.  

The Motherwell manager discusses why Eythor Bjørgolfsson is a good fit for the team and what the new striker will bring, as well as providing an update on Stephen Welsh’s potential return to the club.

We are pleased to confirm the date and details for our end-of-season awards dinner which will take place on Sunday 3 May at Dalziel Park Hotel.

The Black Tie event will be hosted once again by Tam Cowan. The night will consist of a three-course meal and the event will kick-off at 7pm with first-team players and coaching staff in attendance.

Individual places are available at £78 per person.

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

Scott Williamson

Scott Williamson and Cowdenbeath have only played a further two matches since our last update, taking his appearance count for the season to 16.

In those two matches against Albion Rovers and East Stirlingshire, Williamson started and played the full 90 minutes in both matches, keeping a clean sheet in one.

With a number of games called off in the Lowland League during the festive period, most teams have games to catch up on, but as it stands, Cowdenbeath are 10th in the standings.

Kofi Balmer

Kofi Balmer joined Bristol Rovers on a loan deal until the end of the season. He came on for the final seven minutes to make his debut against Plymouth in the EFL Cup.

Balmer then came on for the last half hour against Colchester United before starting his first match against Salford City in League Two.

With Rovers 22nd in the table and only six points separating the bottom six sides in the division, Balmer could play a crucial role in his side’s battle against relegation.

• Appearances: 4

Ewan Wilson

With Lewis Stevenson out injured, Ewan Wilson has been getting increased minutes for Raith Rovers. Since our last report, he has played six matches.

Starting and playing 90 minutes in five of his last six matches, Wilson has impressed the Rovers fanbase with his recent displays.

KDM Evolution Trophy progress was secured with a 1-0 victory over Queen of the South, which was followed by a narrow defeat to Premiership side Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup. Wilson’s last match saw him assist Raith Rovers opener against Queen’s Park, before his side progressed to the semi-final of the KDM Evolution Trophy on penalties.

Rovers are sixth in the Scottish Championship table, with just a point separating 4th to 6th.

• Appearances: 15
• Assists: 1

Olly Whyte has been thriving in a Stenhousemuir jersey in the last five weeks, playing a further seven matches for the Warriors.

Scoring four goals in those seven matches, Whyte is loving life on loan. Goals against title contenders Inverness CT and East Fife were followed up with a brace against Stirling Albion in the KDM Evolution Trophy.

Stenhousemuir’s last defeat in the league came against Montrose midway through December. The Warriors have since won four games out of their last five games, without conceding a goal. That run of form has drawn Stenhousemuir level on points with Inverness at the summit of League One.
