Zander McAllister has been named in the latest Scotland Under 16 squad.
The young defender has been called up for international duty as the dark blues face Australia in a friendly match later this month.
Callum Slattery has suffered a serious knee injury in training that will prevent him for featuring for the rest of the season.
The centre midfielder picked up the injury during a training session last week.
“First off, I want to wish Callum the very best in his recovery,” manager Stuart Kettlewell said.
“Losing him is a massive blow for the team and the nature he has picked up this injury only makes the situation worse for the player.
“We’ve not had our problems to seek with regards to injuries this season and this is another hurdle we have to deal with.
“Callum will now begin his recovery and the staff here will look after him every step of the way and I have no doubts, with the Callum’s attitude and strong mentality, he will come back stronger and ready to go.”
Speedy recovery, Callum.
Following the launch of our advertisement campaign, Chairman Jim McMahon sits down with the press to discuss a number of points and factors surrounding the full strategy behind the campaign.
McMahon has said that there have been a number of Well Society sign ups off the back of the release and have even received ten points of interest with regards to investing in the club.
Despite the current narrative and speculation around the club, McMahon says the club has no financial concerns and is merely looking towards securing the long-term future of the club and seeing how far the club can truly reach.
Robbie Mahon has made the switch to Dundalk on a permanent basis.
The Irish winger joined the club in March 2022 and made on appearance in the first team.
Having been out on loan in his time at Motherwell, to Dunfermline and Edinburgh City, the 20-year-old now departs back to Ireland.
“Robbie has had a very successful personal loan spell with Edinburgh City in the first half of the season,” Stuart Kettlewell said.
“He has aspirations to play back home in Ireland and we wanted to ensure that the right move was secured for club and player.
“I wish Robbie the very best with his future career and thank him for his efforts.”
The Irish youth international, a graduate of the Bohemians academy, leaves the club with our best wishes and thanks.
All the best, Robbie.
Theo Bair is your G4 Claims player of the month for December.
In a month made up of six games, Theo Bair first major impact of December came against St Johnstone at Fir Park. Subbed on with only 10 minutes to go and his team a goal behind, Bair picked up the ball before a pinpoint cross found Mika Biereth to smash home and equalise right at the end of the match.
Late substitute appearances came against St Mirren and Rangers before he was named in the starting lineup for our match against Livingston. Labelled at 12 pointer pre-match, Bair setup Blair Spittal for the opener before scoring two goals himself, all in the first half.
A terrific run and chip over the keeper helped restore our two goal lead and eventually won us the match.
