Elijah Just arrived in Scotland, having, as he described, bounced about the Austrian and Danish second divisions. A star for his country New Zealand, Just was yet to find his best form at club level. He announced himself to Scottish football after producing one performance at Tynecastle that had both sets of supporters impressed. From there, his season went from strength to strength. Goals, assists and outstanding technical ability – his unique mental ability to bamboozle defences meant he was one of the most feared players in the Motherwell squad for opponents. Picking the Motherwell FC Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year award, he was nominated for the PFA Player of the Year award, as well as the Scottish Football Writers' Player of the Year award. In 12 months in Scottish football, Elijah Just is recognised as one of the best players currently in the country, and as he prepares to represent New Zealand in the World Cup this summer, he's arriving after one of the best seasons a Motherwell player has had.

A new era and a new beginning. A journey that saw us all go to Fir Park, Hampden, Aberdeen and eventually, Europe. Full of highs and lows, the class of 2025/26 will be remembered and serenaded by the MFC family for years to come.

His twisting and turning helped us secure a successful end to the campaign 🇳🇿 Your May player of the month in action.

Goals with his right foot, goals with his left foot, goals with his head and even volleys, Tawanda Maswanhise has led the way in the race for the Scottish Premiership Golden Boot all season. Becoming the first Motherwell player to win the award since 2013, the Zimbabwean international even notched an international goal whilst on duty at the Africa Cup of Nations. Coming in on a trial two years ago, Maswanhise has thrived and has shown the world what he is capabable of.

Elliot Watt arrived at Motherwell following a failed loan spell at St Johnstone and the burning desire to play in a side suited to his skills. Fast forward 12 months, Watt has impressed the full of Scotland for his high-quality passing, ability to play through the lines and his impressive goalscoring capability. His statistics show he has been one of the highest performing midfielders consistently for the 2025/26 season, and being named in the PFA Team of the Season shows how highly thought of he is in his peer group.

It had been one of the best seasons for Motherwell supporters, but it wasn't finished. A strong campaign prior to April left the Steelmen on the cusp of qualifying for European football for the first time since 2022.  However, with seven games remaining, the fixtures couldn't have been any tougher. Matches against Hearts, Celtic, Rangers, Hibernian and Falkirk meant Jens Berthel Askou's side would have to take on all top-six opposition until the finish line.  Calum Ward and a very special guest sit down to take you through the closing matches of the season.

25 passes and the whole team involved. We scored 71 goals this season but this is our 2025/26 goal of the season 👏

There were six nominated, but only one could win. This is how the squad voted for their player of the year 🗳️
