Callum Hendry discusses his recent injury setbacks and says he’s feeling as fresh as ever as he gets ready to play a big part in the final five games. 

The striker is appreciative of the support the club has given him to get back fit.

Jens Berthel Askou says full focus is on Motherwell and their performances despite media chat around Motherwell’s involvement in who will win the Premiership title. 

The Motherwell boss is excited about the post-split kicking off, with the Dane also discussing five Motherwell players being included in the PFA Team of the Season.

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

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.

WHAT’S DIFFERENT THIS YEAR?

As you have probably noticed, there has been a complete refresh with regard to the pricing and categories this season. It was noted two season ticket campaigns ago that there had been an effort made to make pricing fairer for all, regardless of what stand you were purchasing for.

With these inconsistencies in mind, the club took the decision to refresh the pricing and categories. This is to ensure all prices are aligned with the same prices for Motherwell fans in all three home stands, which we felt is fairer for all. The only category not included in this is for children’s season tickets, which are cheaper in the Davie Cooper Stand.

There was significant time spent analysing the gate prices for Category B matches, which the majority of the matches at Fir Park are classified as. We wanted to ensure all prices were the same throughout the stadium so that all categories were paying the same price.

This detailed approach of trying to help supporters feel that their prices are fairer around the stadium has also meant that a season ticket holder will receive a minimum of a 20% discount on match day pricing. All season ticket holders will receive a minimum of four games free in comparison to gate pricing.

Many season ticket holders will benefit from a reduction in the cost of their season ticket in comparison to the 2025/26 pricing. Whilst not everyone will see a reduction in their cost, the maximum increase a supporter will have to pay is £25, which equates to £1.31 a game.

A new pricing category has been introduced for those aged between 18 and 22. The reason for this introduction is to assist with the significant price jump for those moving from the 18-21-year-old category last season to full-priced adult. This will create further savings to this age group of up to 39% on last year’s prices.

PRICES

For those renewing their season ticket from 2025/26, concession tickets are for anyone aged 60 and over. For those buying new in 2026/27, it’s 65 and over.

The over 60 concession is for those who currently have this price class, it won’t be valid for any renewing Adult season ticket holders who are now 60.

In addition, concession prices also apply to full time students with a valid matriculation card.

The Early Bird discount will end at 5pm on Monday 1^st June.

Words from the Boss

Exciting Times Ahead.

This season has surely been memorable for everyone involved. Board members, administration, ground staff, coaching staff, players, volunteers, club members and supporters have really come together and enjoyed a season to be proud of.

As I sit in my office under the main stand at Fir Park and look forward to game day, knowing that right above my head the stands will come alive, vibrant with joy and excitement, pushing and cheering us on, I have a small moment of reflection. The support has always been a key pillar in this club. In good times and in difficult times.

However, the rise of numbers joining in to support us this season has been incredibly special, and it’s something we cannot take for granted.

While we are trying our very best to maximise the outcome of this season, we are also fully committed to laying the foundation for the future. We want and need to grow as a football club. Balancing the foundation for long-term success and stability with producing results today is the hardest thing in football. Looking for shortcuts to immediate success can prove to be counterproductive for long-term development. However, we need to always strive for having both in mind when we make decisions. And to do that we need your continued support. Maybe more than ever.

Football clubs are very emotional institutions and environments. The importance of having grounded and steady support through spells of change cannot be underestimated.

Many clubs have started a similar journey to ours but failed and then gave up before the benefits come to the fore, where doubt and frustration are then replaced with hope and dreams of something better.

When engaging with the new generation of fans, as well as lifelong members of this wonderful football club, I sense that the transformation has been worth all the emotional ups and downs. Taking the temperature inside our club, it feels like a very healthy place. Hopefully this will continue for many years to come.

When we return next season, the bar has been set higher. Expectations have grown. Dreams will be bigger. A guarantee for better results will still be something we can never give, but we will do our very best as always. Our best to excite you. To entertain. To be brave and fearless. To take any opponent on with the same mindset of dominating and driving the game. To build the club and develop the stars of the future in Scottish and European football. And to do it all with you. The supporters. Hopefully in even bigger numbers. That would be my dream.

And when I wake up from that dream, I hope the reality will be even better.

Mon the Well!

Jens Berthel Askou

As membership continues to rise, the Well Society is evolving — becoming more active in supporting and investing in the club’s success on and off the pitch. Fans are being heard through surveys and feedback, helping drive improvements to the matchday experience. Projects like the contribution to Mrs Baillie’s Bar show how supporter backing delivers lasting benefits for everyone, while our Society Mobile App helps connect fans near and far.

The direction is clear: greater alignment, stronger cooperation, and an evolving commitment to building a better club for all.

This season, don’t just support Motherwell — help shape what comes next.

From the Boardroom

I think when we look back on the 2025/26 season, we will all remember it fondly. The players and staff have performed to such a high level and delivered some incredible moments and results. From day one you, the fans, bought into what we were trying to achieve and got right behind the team on and off the pitch, and the support has been incredible both home and away.

We set a new club clean sheet record, achieved a top-six finish for the first time since 2022, beat Celtic for the first time in a decade, and much more. We also achieved a club record transfer fee and lost one of our best players prior to the start of the season.

Whilst all of that has been fantastic and helps the club financially, one of the biggest success stories for me is the number of supporters we have seen join us at Fir Park and on the road consistently all season. When I joined the club in 2024, one of my biggest aims was to reconnect supporters with the team and club as a whole. I have had a number of people tell me their story of how they have returned to Fir Park, having been away for a number of seasons. This has been fantastic to hear.

As expected, the journey hasn’t been straight-forward and there have been some bumps along the way. But I think we’re now at a stage where our direction of travel and the identity we want to possess are quite clear for everyone to see, and I think for a supporter, that is vital.

We’re on this path now, and as an Executive Board, we’re working continuously to push the football club forward. We’ve continued to work very closely with the Well Society, our Community Trust, and the Disabled Supporters Association to improve the matchday experience as much as possible. There are a number of ongoing projects that we hope to reveal more details about in due course.

Summer planning is well underway for next season and beyond. The groundwork has been put in place, but we’re always striving for more. And as we now launch season tickets for next season, I would urge everyone who is able to purchase one and get ready for 26/27. We’re never standing still at Motherwell Football Club, and with every season ticket sold, you help us unlock more doors for the future.

Our identity is set out. Our development as a club has been clear. Our direction of travel is transparent. Now we need you with us. Bring on another new season.

On behalf of everyone at the club, we thank you for all your support.

All the best,

Brian Caldwell

Chief Executive

If you wish to spread the payment of your Season Ticket, we are offering the opportunity to pay by a monthly standing order payment.

You can pay your ticket over a maximum of six standing order payments directly to the club, with no interest payments or fees, providing full payment is made by December 2026.

To select this option, you MUST contact the club directly and then complete some paperwork.

Go Digital

A digital Season Ticket for the 26/27 campaign will again be available.

Existing Season Ticket holders can continue to use their physical Season Ticket card but if you would like to change to a digital Season Ticket, you will need to select this option when purchasing your Season Ticket(s) and your physical card will become void.

If you opt for the digital version, you will receive information by email on how to add your Season Ticket to your digital wallet after you have completed your purchase.

FAQ

Where can I find my customer number?

What if I would like to move seat or stand?
– Please renew your current seat and then contact the club on the 15th June to be relocated.

Do I need a new season card? 
– If your price class and seat details remain the same, you will use the same 25/26 season card. If your price class changes, for example Young Adult to an Adult ticket, or a change of seat, you will be issued with a new season card prior to the new season.

Can I use both a digital season ticket and a physical card throughout the season?

I have purchased more than 1 season ticket and we want them digital, how do we get the digital cards?
