Motherwell were on the cusp of securing their Premiership status for the 2025/26 season when they travelled to Dundee, but when the hosts found the back of the net in the first-half, the task was made more difficult. When Dundee stunned the Steelmen with a second on the stroke of half-time, the game looked like it could have gotten away. VAR intervened to correctly rule the goal for offside in the build-up, and the deficit would remain at one. Tawanda Maswanhise would be introduced into the action during the interval, and his impact was almost immediate. With Motherwell in the ascendancy, Tom Sparrow levelled the game and put Dundee firmly on the back foot. Johnny Koutroumbis was given his marching orders, however, with ten minutes remaining, which could have put the spark out for Michael Wimmer's side. However, it didn't slow them down. Dan Casey's header came off the bar, and Ewan Wilson watched the keeper save his effort. It was beginning to look like it wouldn't be their day and the point would be a good result. But in the dying moments, Dom Thompson flighted a high cross ball into the area, and Maswanhise leaped highest and powered a header home, sparking wild celebrations. With Hearts winning, Motherwell had guaranteed their spot in the Premiership next season. Their 41st consecutive season is Scotland's Premier Division.

Manager Michael Wimmer was delighted to see Lennon Miller recognised as one of the best young talents in the country following his nomination for the PFA Young Player of the Year award. Wimmer described Miller as a player playing football way beyond his years and has thoroughly enjoyed working with the 18-year-old.  Wimmer provides a fitness update on the the squad, as well as discussing the importance of securing Andy Halliday's services next season.

Harry Paton would love to remain at Fir Park next season but knows he'll only get that opportunity if he impressed manager Michael Wimmer in the remaining William Hill Premiership matches.  Paton and the squad remain as hungry as ever for these four remaining matches, with everyone wanting to finish as high up the table as possible.

Looking back to your 2024/25 annual player of the year event.

With five games to go, and the potential of a relegation scrap looming, Motherwell knew a win against bottom-side St Johnstone would lift them away from any danger.  The game got off to the worst possible start for Michael Wimmer, as he watched his side concede to a Mackenzie Kirk strike early in the first-half. But his side rallied, and after a number of dangerous attacks, Callum Slattery and Johnny Koutroumbis had the Steelmen ahead at the break. Tom Sparrow added a third to seemingly kill the game off, until St Johnstone found the back of the net for a second time to setup a nervous end to proceedings. However, the points would stay in North Lanarkshire and with four games left, Motherwell's target will be 7th place.

Tom Sparrow arrived in the summer of 2024 in ML1, with many only knowing the 22-year-old from his stint just down the road with Hamilton. Admitting that he was never the best player in his age group at Stoke City in his early years, Sparrow's approach has always been about giving 100% at all times and leaving nothing out on the pitch. That professional mindset has led him from playing National League North football with Chester in 2023/24 to playing with Motherwell in the top flight of Scottish football the following year. Show work ethic and adaptability; Sparrow has been deployed as a wing-back more than his natural central midfield role, something he relishes. Learning every day, he has impressed new manager Michael Wimmer quickly and was handed a new contract lasting until 2028. With his future secure, it's straight back to work for Sparrow, as he has his eyes firmly set on his next target on the international stage.
