It’s been a good month in ML1.

It started with the arrival of new signing Ross Tierney, who will officially move from Bohemians in January.

The talented young Irish midfielder paid a visit to Fir Park for his medical and to familiarise himself with his new surroundings, meeting his new team-mates and manager ahead of his big switch.

On the park, a win over Dundee United then came with a trip to face Hibernian at Easter Road, where another strong result was gained.

Another positive from the Edinburgh journey was the first league start of youth academy graduate Dean Cornelius.

A Motherwell fan through and through, his inclusion in the midfielder completed his journey from the stands to the starting team.

Sondre Solholm has quickly established himself as a cult hero since his arrival from Norway in the summer.

We took the larger-than-life character out in his local surroundings, finding out about his upbringing, his attitude on life and his family ties which also make him eligible to play for the Canadian national team.

It is with regret that we have learned of the death of former player Willie McSeveney.

Captain of the famous Ancell Babes era, the versatile club great passed away this week at the age of 92.

Starting at Wishaw Juniors, Willie was signed by Motherwell manager George Stevenson for £1,200 in March 1954 from Dunfermline, after he had made such an impression in a Motherwell 5-2 victory over Dunfermline in a Scottish Cup game a month prior.

He would make an immediate impact for the ‘Well in Division B, scoring four goals in his first four games in claret and amber. His debut goal against Third Lanark saw the team clinch promotion.

Little over a year later, he would be in the side which would face Hearts in the 1954 League Cup final. In front of over 55,000 at Hampden, Hearts, unfortunately, ran out 4-2 winners. He would also feature for the club in two Scottish Cup semi-finals, where Clyde and Rangers were the victors.

Fans of a certain vintage will recall his standout performance in the floodlight friendly with Brazilian giants Flamengo in 1960, when Motherwell incredibly won 9-2 against a team featuring Gerson, who went on to win the World Cup with Brazil 10 years later.

His final first-team appearance would come in October 1962 at Tynecastle but he was on the playing books until the end of the 1963/64 campaign, spending his time mainly in the reserves and using his experience to help improve the club’s younger players. He would also stay on to coach the reserve side thereafter, helping to bring through Joe Wark, Keith MacRae and Peter McCloy among others.

Across 10 seasons at Fir Park, he would make 256 appearances, scoring 28 times. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

We are looking for volunteers to assist with the delivery of small hampers to local people who may find themselves alone this Christmas.

Our Community Trust, in conjunction with the club, The Well Society and the SPFL Trust, is working to provide festive hampers filled with an afternoon tea package and small gifts to 50 local residents.

Social distancing, sanitising and all COVID procedures will be strictly adhered to.

Please email community@motherwellfc.co.uk if you are interested in helping.

Stephen O’Donnell has broken the record for the most number of Scotland caps earned while on the books at Motherwell.

His start for the national team in their victory over Denmark on Monday night took him to 13 caps earned as a Motherwell player.

That appearance took him past George Stevenson on 12, who held the club record since October 1934.

O’Donnell joined Motherwell in August 2020 and his is first outing in dark blue as a ‘Well player came in October last year against Israel in a 0-0 draw at Hampden.

Caps then followed against Slovakia, Czech Republic, Serbia, Israel, Austria, Israel, Luxembourg, Czech Republic, England, Croatia, Austria and now Denmark.

He now sits proudly out on his own, ahead of legendary names such as Stevenson, Willie Redpath, Ian St John, Andy Weir and Willie Pettigrew.
