Elliot Watt was delighted to get back to the action on Wednesday night following his short spell on the sidelines and is now looking for a strong finish to the season.  The Motherwell midfielder is also questioned on his Scotland ambitions.

Jens Berthel Askou says although the progress has been exciting, he doesn't want it to stop and expects his side to continue pushing in a forward direction.  The Motherwell boss was delighted to welcome Elliot Watt back on Wednesday night, and Askou also explains the impact the supporters are having on his side.

It was an eventful night down at Fir Park, as title challengers Rangers arrived in North Lanarkshire looking to keep the momentum driving forward in their charge to lift the league title.  Motherwell, however, had their own targets as they looked to stretch their unbeaten run at Fir Park to ten matches. With over 11,000 supporters inside the stadium under the lights, the visitors got off to the perfect start in the opening stages through Nicolas Raskin, who opened the scoring. The Belgian became the first opposition player to net at Fir Park since Scott Arfield for Falkirk back in October. But that early setback didn't knock the Steelmen's confidence, and they continued to push forward and threaten in front of goal. Emmanuel Longelo, Tawanda Maswanhise and Elijah Just all had major chances in the match, but when Lukas Fadinger was shown red for his challenge, the game looked like it could get away from Motherwell. With ten players, Motherwell became even stronger in the game, and in the final minute, Celtic loanee Stephen Welsh popped up with a wonderful moment of composure to score his first Motherwell goal on his first appearance since returning to the club. Fir Park was standing up and singing as Motherwell continued to seriously impress.

With six goals in five matches, Tawanda Maswanhise lit up the William Hill Premiership and Scottish Cup in January. Scoring against St Mirren, Kilmarnock, Ross County, Hibernian and Livingston, the Zimbabwean is leading the way the goalscoring charts.

Paul McGinn believes Rangers will be full of confidence going into Wednesday night's match and think his own side can take inspiration from their home form this season.  The Motherwell Captain thinks that the new signings at Rangers have improved the side and he knows it will need to be a big performance to get the three points on Wednesday.

Manager Jens Berthel Askou is looking forward to Wednesday night's clash with title challengers Rangers, and says both teams have improved since their last match against each other in December.  Askou refuses to be drawn into discussion regarding targets for the team this season and instead insists the focus is simply on winning each match as they come.

2025 ended with a statement win over Champions Celtic at Fir Park, could the Steelmen start 2026 in similar fashion?  Fixtures against St Mirren, Hibernian, Ross County, Kilmarnock and Livingston lay ahead as Motherwell looked to push on in the Premiership and the Scottish Cup. Oscar Priestman looked to make his breakthrough since arriving in the summer and cult-hero Ibrahim Said was growing in confidence every week. The two of them sat down to break the month of January down.

Tom Sparrow was delighted to see Stephen Welsh return to the club on transfer deadline day, and is now excited for the remainder of the season. The utility man believes the full squad will play a part in a crucial segment of the season.

Manager Jens Berthel Askou was pleased to see the loan deal for Stephen Welsh be finalised right before the deadline, and believes his return to the squad could play a big part in the final four months of the season.  The Motherwell Boss reveals there was late interest in star man Tawanda Maswanhise, but the club stood firm to keep their forward and everyone can now focus on the remainder of the season.

Facing off against a side that hadn't picked up a win in 23 games was always going to pile the pressure on the Steelmen to pick up a result against Livingston, but manager Jens Berthel Askou wanted his side to go up a gear compared to their last visit to West Lothian.  Calum Ward was called into action in the opening minutes to pull off a wonderful save to deny Livi an opener. From then on, however, Motherwell clicked into action, and amongst a barrage of chances, Tawanda Maswanhise was able to score a brace to put Motherwell firmly in the driving seat. The second-half saw less action as the Steelmen controlled proceedings, ensuring their unbeaten run would continue in all competitions.

Jens Berthel Askou gives his thoughts as a first half double from Tawanda Maswanhise was enough to earn the Steelmen all three points in Livingston.

Jens Berthel Askou wants to see a better version of his team than the one that won in stoppage-time in West Lothian earlier in the season. Askou believes his team will need to perform to a higher level if they wish to come away with all three points once again.   The Motherwell manager discusses why Eythor Bjørgolfsson is a good fit for the team and what the new striker will bring, as well as providing an update on Stephen Welsh's potential return to the club.
