We are proud to launch our new charitable third kit that will continue the fight against suicide as well as the positive mental health message.

We have teamed up with the Samaritans, Breathing Space, Childline and local charity Chris’s House to launch our Darkness To Light luminous third kit, that will encourage fans who are struggling to speak up, speak out and be heard.

Any and all profits made by Motherwell FC on the new kits will be split equally between the four charities, who provide a vital first point of contact for those who are needing to talk or are feeling suicidal.

The special strip, launched to commemorate 25 years since the club last produced a similar coloured kit made by Pony back in 1997-98, symbolises light emerging from the dark and has each of the four helpline numbers patched onto the bottom corner of the top, as a permanent reminder if anyone is feeling low.

In addition, the ‘speak up, speak out, be heard’ message is contained within the neck taping.

The strip has launched in the Well Shop today (Monday 5 December), and is available now online from motherwelldirect.co.uk.

“We wanted to come up with something that gave back to the charities who the club constantly signpost people towards,” chief executive Alan Burrows said.

“Most of our messaging around positive mental health and suicide prevention encourages people to use theses amazing services, which are sadly getting much busier in these difficult times.

“Our new kit will not only increase the visibility of what they do with with the helpline numbers patch, but will raise vital funds to allow these charities to continue to keep helping people who need it most in the local community.”

We four loan boys in action on Saturday as they continued their development.

We have been drawn to play Arbroath at Gayfield Park in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup.

The tie will be played on the weekend of Saturday, 21 January 2023.

The two sides last met way back in 2000, where Motherwell needed a replay to see off The Red Lichties.

Horrendous winds meant the first attempt at playing the game got abandoned at half-time. When it was finally played, Don Goodman opened the scoring but it was cancelled out by 40-year-old veteran Tommy Bryce. In the replay, goals from Don Goodman and Lee McCulloch saw the Steelmen eventually through to the fourth round, avoiding a banana-skin against a part-time team.

Matt Penney is your player of the month for November. 

The full-back on loan from Ipswich scoops his second player of the month award since arriving at the club in August.

He has played every minute since his debut against Inverness in the Premier Sports cup.

It was Penney’s touch that setup Louis Moult at Tynecastle, when the striker won the penalty against Hearts.

It was a derby day to remember for Motherwell as they thumped Hamilton 3-1 on Sunday in SWPL. 

First half goals from Georgie Rafferty, Kaela McDonald-Nguah and Carla Boyce was enough to secure three points for Motherwell.

It was a close opening 20 minutes with Katie Rice having the only real chance. After being fouled on the edge of box, she then got up and took the free kick from 25 yards and skimmed the top of the bar.

Despite few chances, Motherwell controlled all the boy and made it count on the half hour mark. Hamilton failed to clear their lines from a corner and Georgie Rafferty picked up the ball on the left edge of the box and curled an effort into the back of the net.

It was 0-2 on 37 minutes. McDonald-Nguah managed to back heel the ball over the line from a Motherwell set piece.

Motherwell continued their ruthlessness on 43 minutes. Boyce picking up the ball from 20 yards and swivelled and smashed an effort on the volley to make it 0-3 at half time.

Hamilton came out the traps flying in the second half and pulled one back on 52 minutes. Tara McGonigle finishing from a cutback.

McDonald-Nguah almost restored the three goal lead straight after. Good work from Lori Gardner driving in from the left hand side, she found the striker who seen her effort gathered by the keeper.

The rest of the half played out with very few chances until the 80th minute, when Katie Rice fouled in the area and Accies were awared a penalty kick.

Megan Quinn would step up but she blazed over the bar and the game finished 3-1 to the women of steel.

Story of the match

It’s the first meeting between the two sides this season as the Women of Steel look to build on a fine win over Aberdeen last weekend.

Both teams have one win in their last five, with Motherwell sitting two points above Accies.

Accies have shipped 13 goals in their last three home games, against high-flying Glasgow City, Partick Thistle and Hearts.

A win for Motherwell would help them stay in the chase for a position in the top half of the league.

In what had already been a successful season for Max Johnston, the full-back received the call every player wants.

One from his country saying he has been called up for international duty.

Although this was his first time in the Scotland Under 21 squad, the 19-year-old was more than up to the task and got straight to work in camp.

With a friendly match against Iceland at Fir Park ahead, Johnston found out he was not only in the match day squad but starting.

Despite a mixture of nerves and excitement, the Cove Rangers loanee netted the opener for Scotland in the first half in front of his parents and friends in the crowd.

Although it was defeat for Scotland on the night, it was a victory for Max Johnston who made the next step in his already promising career.
