Lennon Miller has been nominated for the PFA young player of the year award. 

In his breakthrough season, Miller started the campaign as a 16-year-old before turning 17 in August.

Motherwell’s youngest ever player has made 27 appearances for the first-team this season, scoring twice and assisting on three occasions.

Signing a new contract extension has rounded off a successful 12 months for Miller, whilst he has also made his Scotland Under 19 bow.

The last Motherwell player to win this award was James McFadden back in 2003.

“It’s a real honour to be nominated for this prestigious award,” Lennon Miller said.

“I’ve just tried to keep my head down and show people what I can do on the pitch. So, to be recognised by my fellow professionals is a really nice feeling.

“This has been a season of learning and developing for me. Making the step up to the first-team has been hard but I feel like I’ve coped.

“I just want to continue producing and improving.”

We can confirm we have appealed the red card shown to Jack Vale on Saturday against Aberdeen. 

The outcome of this appeal will be communicated in due course.

Ten-man Motherwell came away from Pittodrie empty-handed after a 1-0 defeat to Aberdeen.

A closely-fought encounter in the Granite City ultimately edged in favour of the hosts following a decisive straight red card to Motherwell striker Jack Vale, with Aberdeen netting the opener immediately from the resulting free-kick.

Keen to mathematically secure their Premiership status, the visitors started firmly on the front-foot and came close to capitalising on their early momentum within the opening phase of play. Dogged wing-play by Jack Vale enticed the overlapping Stephen O’Donnell but his low shot was diverted clear by the feet of Kelle Roos.

Aberdeen responded with a chance of their own, as Junior Hoilett wrong-footed the Motherwell backline, cutting in off the left-wing, but the forward couldn’t apply the finishing touches from the curling right-footed attempt.

Neither side could establish a rhythm as the first-half progressed, with both trading possession in either third of the pitch.

Dons’ American midfielder Dante Polvara nearly gifted his side the opener shortly before the break, but his ambitious strike fizzed narrowly above the crossbar, ensuring both sides went into the half-time break goalless.

The home side flooded the Motherwell penalty area within the opening minutes of the second-half, as Peter Leven’s side chased the opener and their efforts were almost rewarded, but for some heroics from Lennon Miller.

Angus MacDonald pushed forward for a corner and executed a perfectly-struck volley which sailed beyond the reach of Kelly but Miller was on hand to head clear on the line.

Moments later the game turned on its head as the Steelmen were reduced to ten-men. A cross-field ball sailed over Jack Vale’s shoulder and as he went to volley clear, Jack MacKenzie muscled into the close pocket of space catching the studs of Vale who initially made contact with the ball.

Despite the adamant pleas of the Motherwell players, the referee dismissed the visitors claims, leaving Vale to head back to the dressing room.

Things went from bad to worse from the resulting free-kick, as Aberdeen’s won a corner and Stefan Gartenmann headed home from a floated delivery across the face of goal.

10-man Motherwell toiled in the second-half, with chances from Bair, Ebiye and Spittal all coming close, but the demand of playing against 11-men ultimately decided the contest, with Aberdeen retaining the three points.

Stuart Kettlewell gives his thoughts after his side lost 1-0 at Pittodrie.

• A game that changed on one decision
• A harsh red card
• Livingston next Saturday

Theo Bair has thrived for Motherwell this season and after being named in the PFA team of the season, he reckons these rewards are down to his teammates but also to the perfect environment created by manager Stuart Kettlewell. 

The Canadian forward wants to earn a first win over Aberdeen this season as he feels they have taken too many points off his side in the cinch Premiership.

Stuart Kettlewell has made the target for these remaining five games in the cinch Premiership clear. He wants his side to finish 7th and achieve last season’s points total. 

The season run-in begins this Saturday, against Aberdeen who Motherwell have failed to beat on three occasions. Kettlewell provided a squad update after a weekend with no game.

Strength is often defined by a number of things in life.

It can be how many times someone has got up after being knocked down. It can be continuing their journey, no matter the fear that falls on their shoulders.

Football can be that escape. That beacon of hope. A time away from your thoughts. But it’s more than just the 90 minutes on a Saturday.

It’s the build up during the week. The team news coming through. The pints with friends before the game. It’s a part of the community.

A community of local restaurants. Of people working nine till five six days a week. Local businesses serving the community.

But at the end of the good weeks. The bad weeks. The indifferent weeks. Is that walk up the Fir Park road.

And while the world outside of football continues to become an ever growing struggle. The burden lifts when the referee blows that first whistle.

With you by our side, the sky is the limit. We’re better. We’re harder. We’re stronger.

And that is the true meaning of strength. Meshed together by emotion and passion. It’s strength in numbers.

That’s why we have frozen all season ticket prices for the 2024/25 season.

A MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGER

I think we can all say, if we take a moment to reflect on this season, it has seen us all experience a range of emotions.

But thinking about next season gets me excited. It fills me with hope and a determination to get this club in the best possible shape going into it.

There is loads to be optimistic about. We are beginning to see some stabilisation off the pitch at the club and that will almost certainly help myself and my staff as we get ready to tackle 2024/25.

One of the proudest aspects of my job, is that I work for a club that looks after it’s own. The work we do in the community is something we should be very proud of, from mental health to supporting local children.

But I’m also proud of every supporter. You really are a credit to the club. The colour. The noise. The numbers. Everything about you is and has been exceptional in my time here. There have been plenty moments when the mood has been low and the form has been poor, but that hasn’t detracted any of you from attending and giving us your full support.

It’s something we talk about in the staff office all the time. It’s easy to pick out the good moments where you have shone brightly, but I remember in particular Ross County away last season where we let you down. Well out the game, three-and-a-half hours from home on a Wednesday night. But that didn’t affect any of you. You stayed, made yourself heard and sang right until the end.

That support is invaluable, and I really mean that. I honestly believe without that continued backing, last season could have been very different.

It might sound cliché but we are stronger together.

So, it’s at this point I wish to thank everyone who has bought a ticket, bought a stream, became a Well Society member or supported us from afar. I really hope you can continue that support next season as we look to push further and seek to continually improve.

You’re on this journey with us and we are stronger when we are together.

Stuart Kettlewell

Manager

WORDS FROM BRIAN CALDWELL

I write these words having only held the position of Chief Executive for a few weeks, but in that short space of time, I have already been delighted to see the passion and loyalty from our supporters.

Everyone knows this club is a Community Asset even more so as the majority shareholding is owned by the fans. Hopefully, we can improve the club’s links with our local community in partnership with the Well Society, our Community Trust and the fans…everyone can play a part all pulling in the same direction to grow/improve the Club on and off the pitch.

My first match at Dundee is a perfect example of the loyalty and passion of our fans. With so much dubiety if the game would go ahead in the days leading up to the game, but that did not stop you travelling,  with 500 behind the goal, singing the team on to a wonderful comeback.

I would like to thank the Executive Board and club staff for the warm welcome I have received since coming into post and over the coming weeks and months I look forward to meeting you, our fans.

I understand the need to listen to the fans on so many aspects, especially on match days as you know it better than anyone. My email address is on the website (brian.caldwell@motherwellfc.co.uk) so feel free to drop me a line at any time with ideas, improvements, issues. I am a great believer in ‘if I don’t know I can’t fix it.’

As I said in my first interview, my initial goal is to bring everyone together. We have a unique club filled with people who care deeply about it. From the Well Society and fanbase to the Executive Board and staff, we all want the same and that is the very best for this Football Club.

The job excites me, and I can assure everyone, I may only have been here a short time but the planning for the long-term is well under way. Recruitment plans are in place as we look to improve ahead of next season. We want to get as competitive a team as possible on that pitch to fill you in the stands with a sense of pride watching them.

I want to bring everyone together and as a fan-owned club, it’s vital that this includes you. You get a say in the big decisions, and I want to establish a healthy relationship with you all. Fan culture is so important.

That is why I really hope that, if you are able to do so, you can support the team in any and every way you can.

I look forward to seeing and meeting you all soon!

Brian Caldwell

Chief Executive

Injury Update

Adam Devine, Callum Slattery, Harry Paton and Jon Obika will be missing for this match.

Motherwell’s Fortunes

Motherwell narrowly missed out on top-six football with a draw at home to Hibernian on match day 33.

The result meant the Steelmen would finish in the bottom six this season and now look to finish the campaign strongly.

With nine points separating 7th to 11th, every point is vital. The ‘Well have seen a turnaround in fortunes since the end of December, suffering three defeats in 14 matches, with two of those defeats coming against Hearts and Celtic.

The other loss was at Fir Park against Aberdeen, in a match littered with controversy.

Motherwell haven’t beaten Aberdeen in their last five attempts, but will take confidence from their most recent trip to Aberdeen where after being pegged back from three goals ahead, Harry Paton’s late finish was ruled out for a foul to prevent the three points.

Opposition Report

Aberdeen were in Scottish Cup semi final action on Saturday against Celtic. In a dramatic 120 minutes of football and a penalty shootout, Celtic advanced to the final after a 3-3 draw.

Peter Leven has taken control of the last four league matches and the semi final tie at the weekend after Neil Warnock departed the club. In that time, he is unbeaten in the league with two draws and two wins. Wins over Motherwell and Ross County were followed by back-to-back stalemates against Dundee and Livingston.

Their talisman, Bojan Miovski, continues to be the source of goals for Aberdeen. The North Macedonian netted against Celtic and also found the back of the net against Ross County taking his tally in all competitions this season to 24.
