Emmanuel Longelo believes staying level headed and calm during this difficult run will stand the team in good stead going forward. The full-back explains the manager's impact and how he's helping the squad during this losing run.

Alfred Johansson says he'll draw on previous experience in Norway to help guide his squad through this bump in the road. Motherwell are looking to end a losing run of five matches against Hearts on Sunday in the William Hill Premiership, with the Motherwell boss citing a difficult run at Rosenborg as an example of what can happen when you turn things around. Johansson is looking forward to facing Hearts, and wants to see the squad as a collective improve this weekend.

Motherwell travelled to Ayrshire looking to avoid a fifth straight defeat in the William Hill Premiership, with Kilmarnock looking to move level on points with the Steelmen.  And inside one minute, it was the hosts who moved closer to their target. A goal from Greg Kiltie could have knocked the stuffing out of Motherwell, but the squad rallied and subsequently levelled through Alex Lowry 20 minutes later. Motherwell continued to create chances, and when Seb Palmer-Houlden converted to make it 2-1 early in the second-half, the visitors looked like they could end their losing streak. But Kilmarnock had other plans and scored their second and third goals thereafter, ensuring Motherwell lost five on the bounce for the first time since February 2025.

Alfred Johansson gives his views on a 3-2 defeat to Kilmarnock.

Alfred Johansson explains what needs to be improved on the pitch, but insists that his players are more than capable of turning things around, starting this weekend at Kilmarnock.  Johansson explains his thoughts on the Motherwell supporters passion for their team, as well as discussing the mood in camp this week.

Stephen O'Donnell analyses the performance and result against Celtic on Sunday, as well as reflecting on recent form. The defender believes that there are a number of factors that can help the team going forward, as his focus remains on Saturday's match against Kilmarnock.

It had been three weeks since the Steelmen's last match, and the first match back following the international break was hosting the Champions and current league leaders, Celtic.  Both sides had lost their three matches leading into the break, so there was a desire on both sides to get back on track. But Celtic showed their dominance early on, opening the scoring inside nine minutes. Celtic controlled proceedings for most of the match and doubled their advantage in the second half through Benjamin Nygren. Alex Paulsen put in a man of the match performance to keep the scoreline down, with Alfred Johansson's side shifting their focus to next Saturday against Kilmarnock.

Post-match reaction from Alfred Johansson.

Alfred Johansson is looking forward to the return of club football following the extended international break, as he is asked about his opinion on the longer time away from matches.  Johansson discusses the fitness of his squad, as well as offering his opinion on Celtic ahead of the match on Sunday.

Dylan Levitt says the extended break probably came at good time for Motherwell, as the midfielder admits he didn't feel the break was too long. Levitt is excited to come up against Celtic, as he explains what needs to change from the defeats prior to the international break.

Two goals and another strong month 💪 Keep it up, Alex.
