Tawanda Maswanhise is your G4 Claims November player of the month.
Having rounded off October with his first Motherwell goals against Dundee United, he continued his impressive form into November.
Scoring against St Johnstone in the 2-1 win at Fir Park, his raw pace and direct nature has been an enthralling watch in the early days of his Fir Park career.
The women of steel coasted to the next round of the Scottish Cup, dispatching seven-goals past SWPL2 outfit Rossvale, in an assured performance at the Kirkintilloch Community Sports Complex on Sunday.
Motherwell’s attacking prowess shone through, as seven different goalscorers earned their place on the scoresheet, with Rangers loanee Sophie Black curling home a magnificent opener, before Bailley Collins equally matched her teammates strike through an unstoppable half-volley.
Louisa Boyes continued her exceptional goalscoring run, placing a third from the edge of the box to extend the visitors advantage in the second-half, with defender Jenna Penman rifling home an incredible fourth to firmly place the women of steel into the ascendency.
Substitute Lucy Barclay skilfully evaded her marker to convert from close-range for Motherwell’s fifth, with fellow second-half addition Sienna McGoldrick bulleting a strike from distance into the top-right corner for the sixth of the afternoon.
McGoldrick soon turned provider, teeing up Scotland international teammate Mason Clark, who rounded off a successful afternoon by finding the target.
Motherwell will await their opponents in the next round of the Scottish Cup on Monday evening, with the draw set to commence at 7PM. The women of steel will be back in action on Wednesday evening, when they face title-chasers Rangers at K-Park.
The thoughts of Stuart Kettlewell on a dramatic late win over St Mirren in Paisley.
In partnership with the Daily Mile, 100 children from Knowetop Primary and Fir Park School ran laps of the pitch at Motherwell FC’s Fir Park Stadium this morning.
The Daily Mile is simple and free. The aim is to get children fit for life and fit for learning by encouraging them to run or jog for 15 minutes every day in their schools or nurseries. It is a physical activity which promotes social, emotional and mental health and wellbeing, as well as fitness.
There were only two clubs in the UK, Manchester United and Motherwell, who participated in 2024. The Daily Mile are looking to expand the programme in the years to come.
It takes place outside in the fresh air during the school day at a time of the teacher’s choosing. Children run in their school clothes and no special kit or equipment is required.
The children taking part took part in a warm up at the Fir Park Training Centre before making their way trackside. When they reach the start point, they were surprised by the Motherwell first-team squad, who were there to cheer the children on.
“We’re delighted to be working with Motherwell Football Club Community Trust this year to deliver the Santa Run at the stadium,” Scottish National Programme Manager Tom Lambert said.
“We are working with a number of partners across the UK to embed the Daily Mile in the school curriculum.”

Steve Seddon is thankful for getting back to the action so quickly following Wednesday night’s game against Dundee, but has learned very quickly that there are no easy games in the Scottish Premiership.
He says that whilst the players go out looking to win each game, it doesn’t always work out that way and they have to find a way of turning that around. Seddon remains calm going into tomorrow’s game and draws comparison with West Ham.
Stuart Kettlewell reflects on the frustrations of Wednesday night’s game against Dundee. The Motherwell manager was annoyed with his side conceding three goals in seven minutes, and says his team take accountability for that.
Having put the controversial refereeing decision behind him after dialogue with the head of referees, Kettlewell has asked for a healthy support on Saturday against St Mirren, as he feels it can make a difference for the players’ confidence.
In the torrential December rain, Motherwell headed to Dens Park to take on Dundee, looking to end a two-game losing run. With four changes to the side, the early signs were bright, with Lennon Miller and Apostolos Stamatelopoulos going close in the early stages.
However, the good work early doors was undone when Dundee took the lead, but Stamatelopoulos got his second of the season just minutes later to level the game.
Motherwell had their tails up, and the chances kept coming. They couldn’t get ahead, however, and then the game changed completely. With Kofi Balmer down with a head knock, the referee played on as Dundee hit on the break. They subsequently scored, to the dismay of Motherwell players and staff.
The following seven minutes would be a disaster for the Steelmen, conceding a third and fourth, killing the game off.
In the latter stages, Steve Seddon, Moses Ebiye, and Miller all went close, but in the end, the game was spun on its head in controversial fashion.
Motherwell make the journey to Paisley on Saturday 7 December to face St Mirren.
Kick off is 3pm.

Stephen O’Donnell, Paul McGinn, Callum Slattery, Jack Vale, Ross Callachan, Tom Sparrow and Zach Robinson remain out for this game.
The latter ruptured his achilles earlier this week and will miss the rest of the season. Sam Nicholson made the bench for the midweek trip to Dundee, his first involvement in a match day squad this season.
Motherwell’s midweek defeat to Dundee was the third loss on the spin. In a game where they had plenty chances and forced the keeper into numerous saves, Dundee’s second, third and fourth came within seven minutes of each other and ultimately killed the game off.
Kettlewell gave first starts of the season to Tony Watt and Jair Tavares, with the latter involved in Apostolos Stamatelopoulos’ second goal of the season. The result leaves Motherwell in sixth place going into this weekend, with St Mirren one point behind the Steelmen.
After a dip in form during September and October, which resulted in four losses in a row, St Mirren have turned their fortunes around in their last five games.
It’s been three wins and a draw in their last five, with their last outing ending in a 2-0 defeat to Dundee United at Tannadice. They have five wins in the league this season, with four of them coming on home soil.
Toyosi Olusanya has really stepped up to the plate with his goalscoring. He’s St Mirren’s top scorer with seven in all competitions.
