    Stuart Kettlewell previews Hibernian

    Manager Stuart Kettlewell was frustrated with how his side’s previous outing against Ross County panned, including the amount of wasted time in the game, and wants his team to show a reaction this weekend against Hibernian. Kettlewell says the Hibs performance and late surge against Aberdeen shows it’s a team still fighting and they will prove to be a difficult opponent. 

    He also confirmed Tom Sparrow has picked up an ankle injury, as well as discussing inclusion at Fir Park.

    Motherwell’s Fortunes

    Motherwell returned from the international break with a 2-1 defeat to Ross County. That result meant Motherwell remained fifth in the table.

    Zach Robinson got off the mark in the league, with his first goal in the Premiership. It’s been two wins and two defeats in Motherwell’s last four games. It was a narrow 2-1 win for the Steelmen when these two sides came together last month at Easter Road, with Apostolos Stamatelopoulos and Andy Halliday getting on the scoresheet.

    Hibernian’s last win at Fir Park came in January 2023 when Kevin Nisbet scored a hat trick to help his side win 3-2.

    Opposition Report

    Hibernian have had a tricky start to league proceedings. After 13 games, the Hibees have eight points on the board. Their one win of the league campaign came against St Johnstone in September.

    The Leith side are in midweek action against Aberdeen on Tuesday night at Easter Road.

    Martin Boyle is on five goals for the season. Former Motherwell academy player Nicky Cadden found the back of the net on Saturday against Dundee, taking his tally for the season to two, despite missing some of the action due to injury.

    Ross County ticket refund information

    Ross County ticket refund information

    We can provide the following update with regards to ticketing for last Saturday’s match against Ross County. 

    When the extenuating circumstances arose on Saturday morning, and with weather conditions only getting worse, we advised all supporters not to travel on the A9 to Inverness.

    Having clarified Ross County were not prepared to offer ticket refunds to those who were unable to attend the match despite buying a ticket, the club board engaged with the Well Society board immediately.

    Both parties felt the right thing to do was to offer ticket refunds to any supporter who could not attend due to the extreme weather/travel advice.

    We have now received the sales and entry data from Ross County and can move the process forward.

    If you were one of those who bought a match ticket(s) and couldn’t attend the game, and you wish to be refunded, please email tickets@motherwellfc.co.uk with your name and contact number clearly stated. Please note, only the person who purchased the tickets will be offered a refund.

    Our ticketing department will be in contact thereafter.

    “We felt this was the right thing to do in this instance,” Chief Executive Brian Caldwell said.

    “Lots of our supporters were left out of pocket, through no fault of their own. We’re a fan-owned club, and this is a spectator sport. We want to ensure supporters feel valued, and hopefully this is a small gesture they appreciate.

    “Thank you to all who made the journey to Dingwall and to those who attempted it. I hope everyone returned home safely.”

    “Putting fans first and at the heart of our football club is a key part of the Well Society’s purpose,” Philip Speedie Chair of The Well Society added.

    “It’s great to see the club being so proactive – across the weekend, and today – with updates and this important gesture of goodwill. This news is a further sign of the Club, Society and wider stakeholders working together for our shared future.”

    Paul Brownlie’s assessment of Queens Park victory

    Paul Brownlie’s assessment of Queens Park victory

    Paul Brownlie’s side comfortably swept aside visitors Queens Park in a convincing display at K-Park on Sunday evening. 

    The women of steel extended their advantage over closest-rivals Partick Thistle into the final top-six place in the ScottishPower Women’s Premier League table after racking up six goals, including a hat-trick from midfielder Louisa Boyes to complete a commanding performance in East Kilbride.

    “It was a strong performance,” Head Coach Paul Brownlie said.

    “First-half especially, we were really dominant in the game. It was the best I’ve seen us in spells in terms of how we moved the ball with a real tempo.

    “The variation in goals was really good. It goes back to the players, in terms of them taking on information. We did a lot of analysis after the game against Thistle, we knew there were areas that we needed to get better, and the goals today is testament to them.”

    Louisa Boyes completed her second hat-trick of November, finding the target across both halves after netting three-times against Aberdeen at Balmoral Stadium over a fortnight ago.

    “[Louisa] shows incredible energy in the game,” Brownlie added.

    “It’s the speed in the transition at points is something we’ve worked really hard on, and Louisa is really important in that.

    “I think you could see that with some of her runs to attack the box. She has came a long way in a really short period of time.”

    The women of steel face a short break before their next competitive game, as Laura Berry and Mason Clark both travel with the Scotland Under-19 squad.

    “Two of the girls are away with the Scotland 19s,” Brownlie said.

    “It will givee the opportunity for the rest of the players to get a break, where they’ll work on their individual programmes. We understand we’ll have a difficult run of games, with Rossvale in the cup and Rangers in the league, but we’ll take it one game at a time.”

    Motherwell 6-1 Queens Park

    Motherwell 6-1 Queens Park

    Motherwell cruised to a momentous action-packed victory under the lights, as the women of steel dismantled a dejected Queens Park side to secure three points at K-Park on Sunday. 

    Louisa Boyes netted a sensational hat-trick to mark her second of November, with midfielder Mason Clark also converting her first Motherwell goal. Bailley Collins returned to the scoresheet, as second-half substitute Sarah Gibb rounded off a clinical display with a close-range finish within the final stages of the game.

    Head Coach Paul Brownlie named two changes to the starting XI that were held by closet-rivals Partick thistle last weekend. Skipper Gill Inglis took a place on the bench, as defender Jo Addie returned to the Motherwell backline. Mason Clark also returned to the matchday line-up, replacing Rachel Todd in midfield. A unforeseen injury in the warm-up forced Brownlie into reversing his first team sheet change, with Addie having to drop out of the matchday squad, with Inglis returning to the starting XI.

    Poised to capitalise on their recently squandered attacking opportunities, the women of steel started firmly on the front foot, and quickly found themselves on the scoresheet. A clever interchange of play  enabled Boyes to skilfully evade her marker, before locating space at the edge of the Spiders penalty area, and the midfielder comfortably slotted a composed side-footed finish into the bottom-left corner.

    Motherwell relentless high-press continued to frustrate the visiting backline, with the women of steel doubling their advantage moments later. A disorganised defensive clearance fell fortuitously to the feet of Mason Clark, who composed herself with a left-footed first-touch before dispatching an unpredictable right-footed half-volley into the top-right corner after first colliding with the far-post.

    The Queens Park defence relented, gifting Motherwell possession deep into their final third, with Collins capitalising and soon coasting Motherwell into a commanding three-goal first-half advantage. A expertly manoeuvred set-piece routine mirrored the midweek efforts on the training-ground , as Gill Inglis picked put Collins in acres of space around 30-yards from goal, and Collins’ direction-shifting strike wrong-footed the Spider shot-stopper before nesting comfortably into the back of the visiting net.

    Confidently retaining a three-goal cushion as the second-half resumed, Brownlie’s side calmly picked up from where they left off, picking up their fourth of the afternoon. Boyes skilfully worked her way through the Queens Park backline before finding herself directly through on goal, with the midfielder cushioning a curling right-footed attempt into the top-right corner.

    Emma Craig pulled one back for the visitors against the run of play, drilling an exceptional strike from distance into the top-right corner of the Motherwell net.

    The women of steel responded less than 10-minutes later, with Boyes completing her second hat-trick in November, finding the target from a few yards out.

    Motherwell sealed the three points with almost the final kick off the ball, with Gibb back on the scoresheet, with an unmissable finish from close-range. the women of steel move three points clear of Partick Thistle in the final top-six place.

    Stuart Kettlewell’s post match reaction to Ross County defeat

    Stuart Kettlewell’s post match reaction to Ross County defeat

    Manager Stuart Kettlewell was disappointed with the outcome of today’s match against Ross County. 

    “As I’ve said to the players in that dressing room, I’m frustrated with today’s game,” Stuart Kettlewell said.

    “I feel sorry for the Motherwell fans who managed to get to the ground today when the game panned out the way it did. There was little quality on show; the nature of the game was something supporters couldn’t enjoy.

    “We were comfortable enough in the first-half, fashioning one decent chance. But we knew the game would be tight, and once they got their two quick-fire goals, the game was always going to be scrappy.

    “We have a late rally with Zach’s goal, but it was a six-minute check. With the way today was, all the drama pre-match, you just want a little momentum in your favour. We did what we had to to get that, but it’s killed with the VAR check.

    “There aren’t any excuses with travel or weather. We should have been better in the game. The game was stop-start, and there wasn’t a flow. But we have to handle those situations.

    “We started to get ragged in the game; distances between players got bigger, and our setup was poor. That played into Ross County’s favour, we have to take that on the chin and ensure it’s better going forward.

    “My most important message from this is I want to sincerely thank all supporters who braved the conditions today. Whether you made it to the stadium or had to turn back, that effort is not going unnoticed.

    “Thank you to those who managed to get here and stuck by us. It was a total battle against the weather to achieve that, and I know it’s a long day for you as a result. I wish everyone a safe journey home.”

    We have been in touch with Ross County this morning as soon as it became obvious that so many of our fans wouldn’t be able to attend due to extenuating circumstances with the weather in relation to refunds.

    We are awaiting a response to clarify their position, and once we know this, we will advise our fans further. The club wants to thank all who braved the conditions today. We wish those currently travelling a safe trip home.
