This weekend’s match with Rangers will now go ahead on Saturday 23 April, with a noon kick off.

Rangers made a request to the Scottish Professional Football League, Police Scotland and to host broadcasters, Sky Sports, to seek permission to bring the game forward 24 hours.

Following approval from those bodies, Motherwell FC agreed to the proposal.

“Based on significant feedback over the years, we believe most of our fans would rather watch a match on a Saturday rather than a Sunday, and with our only other home fixture after the split being a Wednesday night, that was at the forefront of our thinking,” Chief Executive Alan Burrows said.

“In addition, the club believe it sensible to support all Scottish clubs playing in European matches.

“That being said, we would like to sincerely apologise for the length of time taken to make this call and the subsequent lack of notice of the change, which has been largely out with our control. We were initially approached on Good Friday, but we were only given confirmation of the change at 3:10pm today (Tuesday 19th).”

Our 2021/22 Player of the Year event is sold out, but there’s still time to get on our waiting list if extra tickets become available.

Held at Dalziel Park Hotel on Saturday 14 May and hosted by Tam Cowan, our event will see the top performers from across the campaign recognised.

To be added to the waiting list, please email events@motherwellfc.co.uk with your ticket requirements and we will be in touch if any tickets become available.

Keith Lasley will leave Motherwell this summer to become St Mirren’s new Chief Operating Officer.

The ‘Well legend has spent more than 20 years at Fir Park as a player, captain, coach and, most recently, assistant manager.

The 42-year-old is currently enrolled on the Masters of Sport Directorship at Manchester Metropolitan University with a view to taking a new route into the non-playing side of football, and that has been expedited by St Mirren’s vacancy and offer.

“We were very keen for Keith to stay at Motherwell and have helped him in his development towards a new career path but we also acknowledge this is a very exciting opportunity for him,” chairman Jim McMahon said.

“Keith has been a fantastic servant to Motherwell, he is a legend in every sense of the word. We thank him for all his hard work, effort and dedication, on and off the field, across two decades and wish him well for the future.”

Lasley joined the Steelmen in the late 1990s under then boss Billy Davies and finished as one the highest appearance holders in Fir Park history, playing almost 500 games in claret and amber.

He was rewarded for his impeccable playing service with a testimonial match against Bolton Wanderers in 2015.

Graham Alexander added: “I am reluctant to lose Keith from our coaching staff as we have a very good relationship, and he plays a significant part in what we do.

“However, when he set out the direction in which he saw his career going and then with this role presented itself, it was clear it was too good for him to turn down.

“I want to personally thank him for all his help and support over the last 16 months and wish him every success in his new role.”

“It has been a pleasure and a privilege to serve Motherwell Football Club for 20 years,” Lasley said.

“There have been some very special moments along the way. From making my debut at the age of 19 through to captaining the club and ultimately on to my current role as assistant manager, I have enjoyed every single minute.

“This club means so much to me and my family, and will continue to do so. I will continue to serve the club with great pride and determination until the end of the season and wish Graham, his staff, the players and everyone at the club continued success in the future.”

Motherwell, using the money raised from the ‘Well In Scheme’ will be launching bags which contain items that will help young people with Autism enjoy the matchday experience and environment further.

Each bag contains a lanyard, fidget spinner, ear defenders, stadium map and a sensory fan.

The lanyard will allow stewards, other supporters and kiosk workers to be more patient and understanding.

Using the fidget spinner will allow the young person to combat the feeling of stress in an uncomfortable situation.

In the noisy environment of a football match, ear defenders will drown out some of the loud noises which can arise within the stadium during the game.

The sensory fan will allow the young person to communicate with whom they are attending the game with about how they are feeling.

The fan has visual aids which the young person can point to, which then relates to how they are feeling in that moment. The fan contains emotions such as “It’s too; hot, bright, crowded, loud.”

The stadium map will enable the young person to know where they are within Fir Park.

“Over the past couple of years, the Community Trust has worked with a number of local organisations to deliver football sessions for young people with autism,” general manager of the Motherwell Community Trust Dawn Middleton said.

“Sometimes they join our core programmes but often the autism sessions are the most supportive environment for them to enjoy the game.

“We have worked closely with Alan Burrows to identify how we can support young people to come to Fir Park on matchdays and feel safe and supported.

“These bags are just the first step towards delivering a more inclusive and supportive matchday experience for all our fans.

“We could not have achieved this without the support of the Motherwell supporters in the ‘Well In’ scheme.”

The Autism bags will be launching for the first post-split fixture at Fir Park and there will be a collection point at the Davie Cooper stand, one hour prior to kick off. The bags are aimed for Under 16s.
