The competition concludes with the Betfred Cup Final at Hampden Park on Sunday, 27 November, live on BT Sport.

Stephen McManus is the latest player to pledge his future to the club, signing a new two-year deal.

The 33-year old former Scotland skipper, capped 26 times by his country, joined ‘Well in 2013 and has gone on to play 124 games in three seasons, scoring five goals.

In that time, ‘Well have twice qualified for the top-six, including finishing second in 2013-14 and played in European football in 2014-15.

The former Celtic, Middlesbrough and Bristol City defender also plays a part in the club’s Elite Academy, coaching the Under 17s alongside Keith Lasley.

[pullquote]I enjoy the coaching and the people around the place are great. I’m looking forward to hopefully what will be another successful two years.[/pullquote]

Speaking to motherwellfc.co.uk, McManus said: “I’m delighted to be staying at Motherwell as I have thoroughly enjoyed my three years at the club.

“I enjoy the coaching and the people around the place are great. I’m looking forward to hopefully what will be another successful two years.”

‘Well boss Mark McGhee added: “Stephen has been excellent and we’re extremely pleased he has agreed to stay with us, as we know he had offers from elsewhere.

“I firmly believe we were able to develop some of the talented younger players like Ben Hall because of his and the other experienced lads’ influence.

“He has the knowledge and ability and will continue to be a huge asset for us. I look forward to working with him again in the coming seasons.”

Motherwell have been drawn to face Rangers, East Stirlingshire, Annan Athletic and Stranraer in the group stages of the Betfred League Cup.

Fixture information will be announced next week.

Three Motherwell players offered deals are the first to put pen to paper, extending their stay at Fir Park by another year.

Goakeeper Craig Samson, youngster David Ferguson and striker Craig Moore are all confirmed to be part of the squad for 2016/17.

Samson, 32, has previously been involved with the Scotland set-up and has nearly 350 senior career appearances. Included in that was two outings for ‘Well last year, where he helped his side to two wins against Hearts and Ross County with some vital blocks.

20-year old David Ferguson, centre back in Motherwell’s Youth Cup Final victory over Hearts, has also signed on for another year. Ferguson, who has played six times in the Fir Park first-team, has enjoyed short-term loan deals at Alloa, Annan and Airdrie.

Striker Craig Moore is another who has enjoyed a successful loan period. Having been injured the season previous to last, the 21-year old spent last year at Ayr United, firing 14 goals in 23 league starts.

He has also spent time on loan at Cowdenbeath back in 2013; netting seven in 11 starts for the Blue Brazil.

Mark McGhee said: “We’re pleased to have the first of our business complete in what will no doubt be a busy summer.

“Sammy [Craig Samson] was superb all season long and only failed to get in because of Connor Ripley’s form, but I have faith in him.

“Craig Moore has been fantastic for Ayr and we’ve been watching him regularly. He’ll come back in pre-season and make a strong pitch to be a regular for us.

“David has also been out on loan and his performances there and with the Under 20s are deserving of a deal. Like Craig, he’ll start pre-season with us to stake a claim to be a regular at Motherwell.

“We’ve still in advanced discussions with several other players and hope to conclude deals shortly.”

In addition, Under 20s players Jack McMillan and Ross MacLean have signed on for another year, with Under 17s Jordan Armstrong and James Scott last night signing professional contracts that will commence this summer.

Motherwell FC is today delighted to announce it has extended its contract with long-term retail partners PSL Ltd.

The agreement extends a partnership this is almost fifteen years old, with Alan Provan and his team continuing their excellent service from the ‘Well Shop in the Cooper Stand and online at motherwelldirect.co.uk for the next three seasons.

Speaking of the new agreement, General Manager Alan Burrows said: “PSL are second to none in this market and we are delighted to have came to an agreement to continue what must be one of the longest-lasting partnerships in Scottish football.

“The new deal means Motherwell FC has the potential to earn more than ever from our retail agreement, with a healthy percentage of every single product sold coming straight back to the club.

“So fans buying from the ‘Well Shop, or online at motherwelldirect, do so in the knowledge that any time they purchase anything, Motherwell FC directly benefits.”

“We are delighted to have agreed a deal that will extend our partnership for another three years. We’ve worked together for 14 very enjoyable years now; we have a strong relationship with the club and its supporters and look forward to the new challenges which lie ahead.”

On the 25th Anniversary of the Scottish Cup Final when Motherwell beat Dundee United, 4-3 in Extra-time with a Stevie Kirk header, the club are proud to release a DVD capturing the key moments from the 1990/91 cup run.

Brand new interviews from Manager Tommy MacLean, courageous keeper Ally Maxwell, Iain Ferguson, midfielder Colin O’Neill, Jim Griffin, Ian Angus, captain Tom Boyd, Craig Paterson and of course the super-sub Stevie Kirk all tell their own inside story of what kept them together and fighting for each win.

Poignant references are captured from the team about those players who are tragically no longer with us, but without the contribution of Davie Cooper, Phil O’Donnell, Jamie Dolan and Paul McGrillan it could have been a very different outcome.

The inside story from the Class of ’91, as told by those who were there – a true collector’s item for any ‘well fan!

Priced £18 and available from the club shop. Visit or call 01698 338025 or on line at www.motherwelldirect.co.uk
