Referee for Saturday’s Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash with Kilmarnock at the Rugby Park will be Steven McLean.

McLean, brother of former ‘Well defender Brian, will be handling his third ‘Well game of the current campaign.

His first was the exceptional 5-1 success over Inverness CT back in November. Henrik Ojamaa, Adam Cummins, Omar Daley and a Jamie Murphy double completed the rout.

His second was perhaps even more memorable as the Motherwell came back from 2-0 down at Easter Road to win 3-2. A Doyle double had the home side in a commanding position but a Murphy brace and a late Bob McHugh winner handed the Steelmen all three points.

The last was the New Year fixture against Celtic when a brave ‘Well went down 1-0. Tom Hateley had the chance to put the Fir Parkers in front but his missed penalty would prove costly as Gary Hooper scored the game’s only goal five minutes later.

McLean began his refereeing career back in 1997, aged just 16, but had to wait six years before being promoted to the SFA Senior List.

It took him a further four years (June 2007) to get promoted to a Category 1 where he has spent the last three years handling SFL and ALBA Challenge Cup games as well as gaining experience as a fourth official at SPL matches.

He eventually made his bow in Scotland’s top league when he took charge of Aberdeen’s 1-0 away win at McDiarmid Park over two years ago. A late Darren Mackie goal was enough to give the Dons all three points and McLean had a good afternoon, booking five players in a competitive contest.

He also had the distinction of being the man in charge of the UEFA Champions League qualifier between KR Reykjavík and HJK Helsinki – the Finns running out 2-1 winners. He also handled Tromsö IL of Norway and Ukrainians Metalurg Donetsk in the Europa League too.

McLean will be ably assisted by Brian McGarry and David Watt with Euan Norris on fourth official duties.

Today’s Under 20s match with Ross County at Airdrie’s Excelsior Stadium has been postponed due to heavy snow.

No date has, as yet, been set for the rearranged match.

The Under 20s return to action tomorrow afternoon when they take on Ross County at the Excelsior Stadium.

The youths will be looking to bounce back from the recent defeat at Celtic although boss Jonatan Johansson will be encouraged by the performance.

The last two fixtures (versus St Johnstone and Celtic) has seen a much more experienced ‘Well start the match but it is likely to be a young Steelmen side that will face the Highlanders tomorrow.

Kick-off is at 2pm.

Join North Lanarkshire Council as they celebrate World Book Day 2013 in the company of a footballing legend.

Few players are as deeply entrenched in the psyche of Motherwell fans as Stevie Kirk.

A legendary figure due to his goal-scoring prowess and deft touch, Kirk signed for the Steelmen in 1986 and went on to make over 300 appearances in claret & amber.

He has taken his place in footballing history as the scorer of the winning goal in the 1991 Scottish Cup Final and the scorer of Motherwell’s first ever goal in European competition, as well as being one of the few modern players to bag four goals in a single Scottish Premier League match.

In this extra-special World Book Day event on Thursday 7th March at Fir Park, Stevie will discuss his life, times and extraordinary career at the top of Scottish football.

The 18-year old has been in fantastic form for Jonatan Johansson’s side this season, bagging five goals, and will join up with Central Park side who sit join bottom of SFL.

‘Well boss Stuart McCall said: “Craig has performed very well this season, so much so he has trained with the first-team and even on the bench against Dundee Utd at Tannadice.
