Midfielder Tom Sparrow believes the security of extending his contract a couple of months ago will do him the world of good going into the 2025/26 season. 

Sparrow explains that the manager has spoken about how he can add more goals to his game, and that he is delighted to see that extra work paying off on the pitch.

Manager Michael Wimmer is grateful for all the supporters who will be making the journey up to Dingwall on Sunday, and believes the team owes those fans a strong performance. 

Wimmer is aware Ross County will be fighting for their lives and will prepare his team accordingly.

Motherwell’s Fortunes

Motherwell will be looking to continue their strong finish to the season. It’s been three wins and a draw in their last five matches as they edge closer to the 50-point mark.

A win would see the Steelmen end the season on 51 points, their highest tally since the 2013/14 season, where they finished runners-up.

Callum Slattery is on six goals for the campaign and has scored five goals in his last eight games. The midfielder is now joint top goalscorer going into this final match, with Tawanda Maswanhise and Tom Sparrow also on six.

Opposition Report

Ross County are fighting to avoid the relegation playoff but will need a win and hope Dundee lose to St Johnstone to avoid finishing 11th.

The Staggies scored a late leveller from the penalty spot against Dundee on Wednesday night to keep their slim hopes alive. Ronan Hale was the scorer as he continues to impress in his first season in the Scottish Premiership.

That draw ended a run of seven losses in a row; however, they still remain winless since the 1st of March, with it being one win in ten matches for Don Cowie’s side.

Michael Wimmer spoke before this match about how he wanted the perfect send off for the supporters, as Motherwell played their final home match of the league season against Kilmarnock. 

On a perfect summers evening, the Steelmen were on track to reach their target as Robbie Deas was shown a red card before the half hour mark.

Luke Armstrong was brought off the bench at the half time interval and he would find the back of the net after Motherwell had been a constant threat throughout the second half. Callum Slattery completed a stunning team goal shortly afterwards, before Armstrong added a third.

The players showed their appreciation following the full time whistle as they made their way around the stands to thank supporters. The perfect end to the perfect night, but Motherwell have one final task ahead of them. A trip to face to Ross County on Sunday.

Motherwell won their final home match of the 2024/25 campaign against Kilmarnock on Wednesday night, registering a comfortable 3-0 win.

Kilmarnock were reduced to ten men in the first-half, with Robbie Deas shown a straight red following a VAR review for bringing down Lennon Miller, who was through on goal. From there, the Steelmen dominated proceedings but had to be patient for their opening goal.

Substitute Luke Armstrong found the back of the net on 77 minutes before Callum Slattery scored his seventh of the season just six minutes later. Armstrong was it again on 86 minutes, putting the icing on the cake with a third.

Michael Wimmer made two changes from the side that were defeated by Hearts just four days ago. Harry Paton and Ewan Wilson were brought into the starting 11 in place of Tawanda Maswanhise and Dom Thompson.

There weren’t many clear-cut chances in the early stages of the match. Tom Sparrow saw his header drift wide of the mark from a Wilson cross in what was Motherwell’s best chance thus far.

On 29 minutes, Miller latched onto a neat through-ball and was brought down by Deas just outside the area. Originally shown a yellow card by Duncan Nicholson, VAR recommended an on-field review. After reviewing the footage, the Killie man was shown a red card for the denial of a goalscoring opportunity.

The subsequent free kick was hit on target by Miller but didn’t trouble Kieran O’Hara. As the first half edged closer to its conclusion, Kilmarnock had their best chance of the half. Danny Armstrong fizzed a free kick up and over the wall but was denied by a flying Aston Oxborough, who produced a wonderful stop to prevent the ball from finding the top corner.

During the half time interval, Wimmer made an alteration, introducing Armstrong to the action in place of Harry Paton. Motherwell began the half strongly and were dominating possession. Tony Watt was unfortunate not to find the back of the net on 50 minutes, with the Dundee United loanee sneaking in at the back post to get on the end of Stephen O’Donnell’s cross; however, O’Hara was a match for his effort.

That sparked everyone in Fir Park, and Motherwell turned it up a gear. Callum Slattery was next to try his luck, with the number eight fizzing an effort on target, but O’Hara was able to punch it clear.

Andy Halliday came agonisingly close to the opener just after the hour mark, trying to curl a low strike towards the far post, but the 33-year-old didn’t find the target.

The chances kept on coming for the hosts, with Armstrong’s deflected effort almost finding the net on 66 minutes. Substitute Moses Ebiye thought he had the opening goal from Miller’s corner delivery, but keeper O’Hara managed to claw the ball away from danger.

Time continued to pass by with Motherwell still left frustrated at not breaking the deadlock. But their patience and dominance eventually paid off when, at 77 minutes, skipper O’Donnell curled an inviting cross into the danger zone where L.Armstrong was primed to bullet a header past O’Hara. 1-0.

The pressure eased, but the intensity increased, and Motherwell went hunting for more. Slattery continued his high-flying end to the campaign, with the midfielder executing a perfectly guided finish into the bottom corner. Game over and 2-0 to the Well.

L.Armstrong managed to grab his fourth goal in Motherwell’s corner on 86 minutes, smashing a strike beyond the keeper to put the cherry on the cake.

The perfect end for the Steelmen’s home campaign this season, with Wimmer still yet to taste defeat in ML1.

Motherwell Team: Oxborough, Sparrow, Casey, O’Donnell, Seddon, Wilson, Halliday, Miller, Paton, Slattery, Watt. 

Motherwell Subs: Balcombe, Zdravkovski, Maswanhise, Tavares, Dickson, Andrews, Ebiye, Thompson, Armstrong.

Manager Michael Wimmer gives his thoughts as his side beat Kilmarnock in their final home game of the season.

Lennon Miller has won the Young Player of the Year by the Scottish Football Writers Association.

This season, the 18-year-old has won the Motherwell Player of the Year, Motherwell Young Player of the Year, Motherwell Coaches’ Player of the Year and PFA Young Player of the Year.

Miller now picks up his fifth accolade of the season beating Bobby Wales, David Watson and James Wilson to this accolade.

The Motherwell FC Academy graduate becomes the fourth Steelman to win this award, following in the footsteps of James McFadden, David Turnbull and Max Johnston.
