It's a year to the day since Motherwell had fun in the Gorgie sun against Hearts. We take a look back at how the action unfolded on the day.

Jack Vale has rejoined the club on a season-long loan from Blackburn Rovers. Originally joining Motherwell in January 2023, he made quite the impact and is ready to do it all over again.

Manager Stuart Kettlewell provides a transfer update ahead of the summer window closing tomorrow at 11pm. The Motherwell manager says nobody needs to leave the club and that the only planned departures would be for the younger plays going out on loan.  Kettlewell talks about how his side will have to add layers onto Sunday's impressive display and also refers back to the strong recruitment the team has had over the summer.

18-year-old Lennon Miller remains fully focused on his football on a Saturday, as he shuts out all the outside speculation about his future. Miller discusses the team's performance on Sunday against Hearts and how everyone is looking to follow that result up against St Johnstone this weekend.

Motherwell produced a sensational performance when Hearts came to Fir Park. With both teams still seeking their first win of the new Premiership season, both were hungry to get off the mark early.  But it was the Steelmen who started strongly, setting the tone for the rest of the match. Lennon Miller, Dan Casey and Andy Halliday all had chances before Paul McGinn found the opener at the back post from a free-kick. The second-half started in similar fashion with Motherwell remaining on the front foot. Stephen O'Donnell doubled the lead before Hearts pulled one back in a rare attack from forward. Stuart Kettlewell's men didn't take their foot off the gas however and were rewarded when Tom Sparrow scored his first professional goal to seal the win and send the Fir Park faithful home happy after a strong Sunday showing.

Stuart Kettlewell gives his thoughts as we claim our first three points of the season.

Manager Stuart Kettlewell says all injured players are currently on track for their initial scheduled returns. Filip Stuparevic is back in training ahead of Sunday's match.  Kettlewell discusses the recent study which showed Motherwell have given homegrown talent the highest number of minutes last season in the league. Despite Hearts' recent European match, Kettlewell has no doubt the Jambos will be coming to ML1 looking for maximum points and will be fully focused on the game.

Steve Seddon couldn't have imagined he would have came to Scotland a couple years ago but having made the switch in the summer, the full-back is thoroughly enjoying his stay north of the border and has enjoyed the variety of games he's featured in. The Englishman says he may be one of the louder voices in the dressing room, but the team are ego free and everyone is working together to improve on the pitch.

Looking to go one step further than 12 months ago, Motherwell had to overcome Kilmarnock at Fir Park if they wanted to be in the hat for the quarter-final draw of the Premier Sports Cup.  The visitors arrived at Fir Park having just won in Norway three days prior and made nine changes to their lineup. The Steelmen were still dealing with eight first-team injuries but started the game brightly. Robinson and Miller both had opportunities but the game would change entirely when Stuart Findlay seen red for a second yellow card just before the hour mark. New signings Tawanda Maswanhise and Tony Watt were introduced alongside Moses Ebiye, to push Motherwell over the line. Dominating the ball and creating plenty chances, the Killie backline survived and extra-time was required. It didn't take long for the deadlock to be broken in extra-time, as Ebiye headed home to give his side the advantage. Seeing out the game and ensuring that progression came next for Kettlewell's side, Motherwell can now look forward to a home tie against Dundee United for a spot in the semi-final and a trip to Hampden.

Stuart Kettlewell gives his thoughts on the 1-0 win over Kilmarnock.

As we prepare to take on Kilmarnock in the Premier Sports Cup this weekend, we take a trip down memory lane to August 2023 when Motherwell put on a very late show for the Fir Park crowd.

Stuart Kettlewell knows how important cup runs can be when it comes to growing the football club and has made has made that a priority going into this week's last 16 tie against Kilmarnock in the Premier Sports Cup. The Motherwell boss believes bringing Tony Watt back for his second spell was a good bit of business and believes that the 30-year-old will do his talking on the pitch to win over the Fir Park faithful. Kettlewell also provides an update on Apostolos Stamatelopoulos's injury after it was confirmed he would be sidelined for six weeks.
