Stuart Kettlewell’s reaction to Motherwell’s 3-0 defeat at Easter Road.

• Overall performance was poor
• Harsh penalty decision
• Pulling together for Sunday

He scored his first Motherwell goal last weekend and Davor Zdravkovski is hungry for more. The North Macedonian talks about his summer international plans and analyses his first season in Scotland.

Stuart Kettlewell has been pleased with the way his side have conducted themselves over the last couple matches, but insists there is still lots to be playing for and there should be no letting up. 

The manager takes questions on the sensational season from Theo Bair and the inevitability of there being interest from clubs looking to secure the Canadian’s services.

We are on the road for the final time this season, as we take on Hibernian at Easter Road. 

Kick off is 7.45pm on Wednesday 15 May.

Motherwell’s Fortunes

Motherwell’s hot run of form in 2024 continued in the Highlands on Saturday, dispatching Ross County with a wonderful 5-1 win. Blair Spittal got on the scoresheet twice, with Harry Paton, Paul McGinn and Davor Zdravkovski also scoring.

That result took Motherwell up to 7th, albeit with Aberdeen still to play the following day.

Aberdeen beat Hibernian 4-0 at Easter Road, which take them up to seventh. With two games to go, the Steelmen are a point behind the Dons. Hibernian are a point behind Motherwell in ninth, with the three teams only separated by two points.

With a win, the lowest position Motherwell could finish the season is eighth.

Opposition Report

Hibernian’s hopes of finishing top of the bottom six were dented in their last match, as they lost out 4-0 to Aberdeen.

It’s been four losses, a draw and a win in their last six. Motherwell have the upper hand over Hibs this season, with Motherwell winning one and the other two ending in draws.

Myziane Maolida has been a shining light for Hibernian this season since his arrival, and will want to finish the season strongly. Since his arrival in January, he has eight goals and one assist in 16 appearances.

With safety secured and seventh in their sights, Motherwell made the long trip to Dingwall on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

A fixture that has seen raining goals this season, this match got off to a similar fashion.

Blair Spittal latched on a Ross Laidlaw error to put his team in front. Despite being pegged back moments later, Paul McGinn scored his first Motherwell goal and first goal in two years to get the Steelmen ahead before the interval.

From then on, the visitors were in full control.

Spittal scored another wonderful goal with ten minutes to go, before substitutes Harry Paton and Davor Zdravkovksi put cherries on the cake before the end.

Motherwell came away from the Highlands with a resounding 1-5 win in Dingwall.

Goals from Blair Spittal and Paul McGinn had the away side up at the break before Spittal, Zdravkovski and Paton added gloss to the scoreline late on.

County, who came into this enounter with only one home defeat in eight, were on the ropes early as the visitors started brightly and nearly took a lead when Andy Halliday was slid in on the edge of the box,  but the midfielder’s effort was matched by Laidlaw who made a fine stop.

The Steelmen were looking dangerous but their lead came in an unexpected fashion. Liam Kelly angled a ball forward which harmlessly ended up at Ross Laidlaw but the County ‘keeper spilled it straight to Blair Spittal who gratefully fired home.

County didn’t take long to respond, drawing level five minutes later. Disappointingly it was from a Motherwell corner, which Brophy broke away from and slid in Simon Murray who cooly slotted past Kelly.

As the game started to even out, it looked as though both sides would head down the tunnel level, probably deservedly so, but Paul McGinn had other ideas.

Georgie Gent’s free-kick was again fumbled by Laidlaw and it landed kindly to the feet of the former Scotland International who fired in his first Motherwell goal and first time hitting the net since May 2022.

Don Cowie made three changes at the break as County looked to find a way back in to the match to edge away from relegation trouble for all their hard work and endeavour, they rarely troubled Liam Kelly.

Indeed, as Motherwell looked to see the game out, they broke forward through Theo Bair and he laid it on a plate for Blair Spittal to notch his second of the game with a superb curler into the top corner.

At that point it looked like game over but the Steelmen weren’t finished yet.

Theo Bair burst in behind the defence and with a shot looking likely, he unselfishly pulled it back to his teammate Davor Zdravkovski who powered it into the net for his first goal in claret and amber.

‘Well weren’t finished there as Harry Paton was sent into the box, with a moment of brilliance from Blair Spittal, allowing the Canadian to slot into the bottom corner.

Motherwell now take on Hibernian, with the Lanarkshire side looking to continue their decent form in the run-up to the league finalé.

Stuart Kettlewell gives his thoughts on the 5-1 win over Ross County.

• Trying to be entertaining
• Becoming third top scorers in the league
• A special mention the travelling supporter

After making his 150th appearance for Motherwell against Aberdeen last month, we sit down with Liam Kelly and reminisce about some of his best moments from the last three-and-a-half years.

Starting from his save best saves whilst on an initial six-month loan, he talks us through some of his best saves and the process behind them.

We then cover the penalties he has faced in his time at the club, and how the battle of the mind games between goalkeeper and player unfolds.

Harry Paton was pleased to make a swift return to action after a two month lay off. 

The Canadian defender has high ambitions of retaining his spot in the Canadian squad, ahead of matches against Netherlands, France and Argentina in the COPA America this summer.
