We face trips to Montrose and Clyde, with Edinburgh City and Partick Thistle visiting Fir Park.

Ticket details for these matches will be published in due course.

Partick Thistle

After reaching the Premiership playoffs for the second season running, Partick Thistle missed out on the final after Raith Rovers beat them across the two legs.

The summer re-build is well underway at Firhill Aaron Muirhead, Luke McBeth and former Motherwell man Robbie Crawford all extending or arriving at the club. Kyle Turner has returned to the Jags from Ross County after a successful spell in Glasgow.

Brian Graham continued his goalscoring ways last season, finishing the season on 26 goals in all competitions.

There are a number of ex-Motherwell players within the ranks at Thistle, Steven Lawless is currently in Glasgow, although facing a long spell on the sidelines.

Jack McMillan was in negotiations with the club to establish whether his stay at Thistle would be extended but the former Motherwell man has moved on.

Montrose

Montrose were also involved in playoff action at the end of last season, as they faced off with Inverness CT having finished 4th in League One.

The Championship side prevailed over the two legs, meaning Montrose will play League One football again this season.

Despite missing out on promotion, there were some real success stories for The Gable Endies. Kane Hester was a big summer arrival from Elgin City after a prominent season in League Two the season prior, the striker struck on 14 occasions throughout the season.

Craig Batchelor and long serving Liam Callaghan have departed the club, with the latter serving for over seven years.

Matheus Machado, Terry Masson and club captain Paul Watson have all signed on for next season.

They have some real experience in their ranks, with former Dundee United defender Sean Dillon currently turning out for Montrose. Former County man Michael Gardyne is also at Montrose, having made over 40 appearances last season.

Edinburgh City

Edinburgh City had a difficult season due to off-field issues and were relegated to League Two after finishing on eight points.

After the conclusion of the season, it’s now unclear as to who will be playing for Edinburgh City next season. Throughout last season, their team consisted of a mixture of youth players.

Clyde

Clyde completed the great escape under Ian McCall last season, after seemingly being cosine to relegation during the League Two campaign. Seven wins 13 games to close the season out

Former Motherwell men Logan Dunachie and Robbie Leith are under contract for next season, with the former notching five goals in his first season at Clyde.

The major goal threats for Clyde last season were Martin Rennie, who got 14, and Liam Scullion, who got eight. Both have signed for next season and will be looking to continue where they left off.

Manager McCall has also committed his immediate future after a successful tenure last season, signing on for season 24/25 also and has ambitions to finish in the top four of League Two this coming season.

Defender Johnny Koutroumbis has completed his move to Fir Park, signing a two-year deal, subject to international clearance. 

The 26-year-old was most recently on the books with A-League side Perth Glory, where he made 41 appearances over a two-year spell.

Koutroumbis started out with West Adelaide before joining Adelaide United, in the NPL South Australia, in 2016.

His career went on an upward trajectory when he made a switch to the Newcastle Jets at the end of 2016 on a short-term deal, before sealing a longer term contract after impressing during that spell.

He would make 95 appearances during his five season with the Jets before moving Western Sydney Wanderers in 2021. He spent a season there before joining up with Perth Glory in 2022.

A former Australian Under 23 international, Koutroumbis makes his first venture outside of Australian football having made over 140 appearances in the Australian top-flight.

“There has been a lot of work to get Johnny here,” manager Stuart Kettlewell.

“So, first of all I want to thank everyone involved as these kinds of deals are never easy.

“Johnny is a good player who has a wealth of experience in a good league. I’ve spoken with him and he is very ambitious.

“We both feel this is an excellent opportunity for him to develop and push into that next chapter of his career. He’s came to the other side of the world which is a lot of commitment.

“He’s now got plenty time to adjust and settle before the competitive season begins.”

Ticket details for our friendly match against Livingston at Fir Park have now been confirmed. 

You can buy your tickets online now.

All home fans will be housed in the John Hunter Stand, with adult tickets costing £5 and all concessions costing £2.

Tom Sparrow has joined the club on a two-year deal, with the club having an option of a further year.

The Welsh Under 21 international left Stoke City in the summer, having made four appearances for the senior side.

He joined Stoke at the age of 14, having previously been with Wolves. Becoming a shining light in their academy, at the age of 16, Sparrow was promoted to the Potters’ Under 18s and Under 21s.

Centre-midfielder Sparrow made his first team debut in 2021, when he went on loan to Telford United. During that one-month loan, he made six appearances before returning to his parent club.

Upon his return, he began to break into the matchday squads for the senior Stoke City team and was handed his professional debut on the last day of the 2021/22 season, playing the full match.

He gained two further starts in the early stages of the season after before joining Hamilton Accies on loan. He made 17 appearances in his time north of the border.

He spent the first half of last season on loan with Chester, making nine appearances in his time there. He returned to Stoke in January and was a regular in the Premier League 2.

The 21-year-old midfielder now makes his first permanent move since joining Stoke nine years ago.

“We’ve been so busy trying to bring in the right players this summer,” manager Stuart Kettlewell said.

“The planning goes back months so it’s rewarding to get another player signed up for the new season.

“Tom is someone we have been tracking and with both club and player keen on the deal, we are able to get it confirmed early in the summer.

“It’ll be good for Tom to get into pre-season and build up that match sharpness. He has had a taste of Scottish football and Stoke thought highly of him.”

“It’s great to be here and get the move done early in the window,” Tom Sparrow added.

“Being up here this early means I can get a full pre-season under my belt and can get to know everyone.

“I’m really excited at the prospect of next season having spoken with the manager. He’s full of optimism and it’s hard not to get excited for what he’s trying to build here.”

Kofi Balmer has agreed a switch to ML1 and is the first new face of the 2024/25 summer window. 

The Northern Irish centre-back has agreed a two-year deal, with the option of a further year, subject to international clearance.

Balmer’s big breakthrough came early on his career. At the age of 16, he made his debut for Ballymena United back in the 2016/17 season. Not only did he impress at that young, he scored on his debut against Coleraine.

He went on to make 90 appearances for Ballymena United during his five years there, winning Ulster Young Footballer of the Year and also made four appearances in the UEFA Europa Conference League.

Balmer has also made 17 appearances at international level for Northern Ireland Under-19s and Under-21s. In September 2022 he earned his first senior call-up to the national team.

He made the switch to Larne, which seen him become full-time. He played 35 league games during his one and only season, played in the UEFA Europa Conference League and helped Larne secure more European football.

In the summer of 2022, Crystal Palace brought Balmer across the water to England. He made the first-team bench of a number of occasions during the first half of that season.

He continued to impress for the Under 21 side and signed a contract extension with Palace at the end of the season.

During the summer of 2023, he joined Port Vale on loan where he featured on 16 occasions, before joining AFC Wimbledon for the second half of the season.

A successful spell with AFC Wimbledon seen his notch three assists, via his long throws, and also scored one goal.

With 20 appearances for the Northern Irish Under 21 side, and being named in the senior squad, Balmer adds international quality and experience despite being only 23-years-old.

“It’s great to get Kofi on board,” manager Stuart Kettlewell said.

“There was a lot of interest from other clubs who were looking to sign him so it tells you we’ve got a good player on our hands.

“He has played lots of football for a boy his age but we still think with our coaching, we can get more out of Kofi and make him even better.

“I look forward to working with him during pre-season and seeing how he gets on.”

“I’m so happy to be here,” Kofi Balmer added.

“I’ve heard some great things about the club and the fan base. I can’t wait to meet everyone and get stuck into work.

“I feel I can bring a lot to the team and want to make a real impact in my time here.”
