Battle at Tynecastle | Hearts vs Motherwell Preview
So here we are. The final pre-game split game for the Well. And for us, it’s a trip to Tynecastle. With Hearts stumbling in Livingston, and our own disappointing result at home to Falkirk, both teams will be looking to bounce back in this one. After Round 32 of games, Hearts still hold their slender lead at the top; and further down, the gap below us to Hibs now stands at just three points. The top and bottom sixes are also now confirmed, with Falkirk’s win over us rubber-sta

Callum Slattery handed retrospective ban by SFA Compliance officer
Callum Slattery has been handed a four match ban, with two matches suspended, for simulation which caused St Mirren's Richard King to be sent off during Motherwell's 5-0 demolition of the Buddies. In the latest episode of Scottish refereeing, we now find ourselves with a guest appearance of the compliance officer. It is worth prefacing this article with that Richard King obviously should not have been sent off, and Slattery should've been yellow carded on the night for the s

Into the Jungle | Celtic vs Motherwell
A sold out Motherwell contingent travels to G40 to take on the current holders of the SPFL Premiership title: Celtic. Parkhead, the next stop for the Motherwell journey With the business end of the season quickly approaching, a win is massive for at least ten of the teams in the SPFL right now: Motherwell and Celtic are no strangers to this. Celtic are under particular pressure currently: an ongoing battle between fans and board, some true Jekyll and Hyde performances, the ri

The defeat all but ends Motherwell's long shot title challenge, unless there is a calamitous collapse in Gorgie; one that does not seem to be coming. Story of the Match Game Control Index via Opta. Blue denotes Dundee, red denotes Motherwell. Created by Ben Griffis ( https://football-match-reports.streamlit.app/ ) Motherwell started the match brightly. Tawanda Maswanhise almost broke

We couldn’t… Could we? || Motherwell vs Dundee United Analysis
Well, the Well go marching on. After yet another 2-0 win, Motherwell are now just 4 points from Rangers in 2nd, and 10 points from top spot, with a game in hand over both teams. For United, this result means that - while still possible, mathematically - the almost insurmountable climb to the top 6 just got slightly harder, as they now sit 12 points adrift of Falkirk. The Terrors should be safe from automatic relegation come the end of the season, being 16 points clear of Livi

Our Time Could Be Now...// Motherwell vs Dundee United
The first step in our push to secure top 4 (and beyond?) as we welcome the Tangerine Terrors to Fir Park. The Well go into this in a positive mindset, with a thrashing of St Mirren after our Pittodrie heartache to get us back on the right track. The win, paired with both sides of Glasgow dropping points, saw us catch them up. We now sit 4 points behind Celtic (having to play them twice by EOS), 6 points behind Rangers (having to play them in the split and with a game in hand)

It's Raining Goals, Hallelujah! // St Mirren 0-5 Motherwell
We at The Dispatch were, and still are, unsure how to really set this piece in motion. We know the story of this match. We go into it fresh off a rather soul-destroying defeat to Aberdeen at Pittodrie. Knocked out the Scottish Cup with a whimper, we were looking to bounce back against the only other team to have really had us feeling this flat; St Mirren. A victory for the Well meant a start at forgetting the cup demons, and potential closure of the gap between Celtic, Ranger

The Away Leg || Aberdeen vs Motherwell Scottish Cup 5th Round Preview
A familiar foe. A ground we’ll have visited more than any other so far this season by the end of Wednesday. And just the slightest dose of déjà vu. Motherwell, once again, go face to face with Aberdeen. With both teams knowing who awaits them in the quarter finals - mid-table Championship Dunfermline away, if you somehow missed the draw - it is a game that presents serious opportunities. Regardless, I can’t help but feel that we’ve been here before… The Form Guide… Two sets

Much Delayed, Much Replayed // Motherwell vs Aberdeen Preview
This feels like a game for which we've been waiting a while. A different competition, but once again the Aberdeen double hitter approaches. Motherwell go into this game fresh from a last minute 1-1 draw against Rangers, and are still undefeated since December 27th (incidentally their last loss also coming against Rangers). A win for the Well could see us push within 4 points of Celtic and 5 from Rangers (results pending), as well as widening the gap above Falkirk and Hiberni

A Point Gained, but could it have been more? || Motherwell vs Rangers Analysis
Well… what is there to say about that? In another game in which Motherwell just never seemed to give, it was a point rescued against The Rangers. Both sides came into this one in fine form, and with their own motives for collecting three points: the Bears were looking to extend the gap between us and themselves, and reel in Hearts at the top of the table ahead of their mouth-watering clash at Ibrox. For the Steelmen, it was an opportunity to close the gap above, and solidify
