Ewan Wilson is feeling great after his dedication to fitness and nutrition in the summer. The young full-back has cemented his spot in the side and is looking to continue what he has started.  Wilson remains level-headed ahead of a massive week in his career.

When Celtic come to Fir Park, Motherwell know they need to have their clinical edge should the chances come. And after striking the woodwork twice within the first ten minutes of the game, that statement became true.  Having not failed to take their chances, Celtic would break the deadlock through Luke McCowan midway through the first-half. From then on, Celtic didn't look back. Using their star studded bench, they grew stronger and stronger in the second-half. Alistair Johnston would deliver the critical blow on the hour mark as the Canadian headed in a second. Adam Idah made it three before Liam Gordon seen red for a challenge on the former. It's a quick turnaround for Motherwell now, with a trip to Tannadice looming on Wednesday night.

Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell takes heart from the four previous encounters with Celtic in his time at the club. Two draws at Celtic Park and conceding two stoppage time goals mean his team have shown in the past that they can compete with the Champions.  Kettlewell looks ahead to what is a busy seven days for the club, facing Celtic first, before a trip to Tannadice on Wednesday night and then the semi final against Rangers at Hampden.

We take a look back in time as we go back to 2013 when Motherwell came from behind to defeat already crowned league winners Celtic 3-1 at Fir Park. The result would secure the Steelmen's qualification to the Europa League.

Motherwell were searching for their fourth win on the bounce coming into their William Hill Premiership fixture against Dundee. Following the victory at Hibernian, the October international break interrupted the rhythm as Motherwell failed to find their usual stride.  Stuart Kettlewell was left disappointed by his team's performance as Dundee's Lyall Cameron fired his team ahead in the first-half. Substitutes were brought on to try and change the Steelmen's fortunes however, the equaliser didn't arrive and Dundee held out for the win.

Ewan Wilson has burst onto the scene in 2024/25. The Motherwell Academy graduate has picked the perfect opportunity to step up to the plate for the first-team at the club.  Loan spells at Albion Rovers, Stirling Albion and Beith Juniors only tell half of the story, but the 19-year-old left-back has become an integral part of the Motherwell team. Using his strong and physical presence to see off opponents, he also has a burst of pace and flair to go past defenders. Often left as the last man, he uses his defensive prowess with timely tackles and interceptions thriving in 1v1 situations against the leagues best wide men.  With a venomous shot and a composed final ball, Wilson continues to impress in both areas of the pitch as his first-team experience rises every week, with him yet to miss a minute of league action so far.

"Delighted" by his recent start to life in Motherwell's first team and being given the opportunity to continue his journey with the Steelmen, Aston Oxborough stated that there was "no doubt" to continue with Motherwell after reflecting on his time and starting off "fairly well" when beginning as the number two keeper under Liam Kelly who went on to play for Rangers, allowing Oxborough to show that he is more than capable of that number one spot. When asked about the teams current performance before they take on Dundee Saturday 19th, the 26-year-old said that the players have been "pretty good" and that he hopes they learn from their previous trend of action only managing a short success rate at the start of the Premiership and will manage to stay consistent in their efforts, Aston is an "asset" to the team as suggested by manager Stuart Kettlewell. Oxborough has a clear focus right now on trying to secure a victory against Dundee and what's to come after for Motherwell, especially after such a favourable outcome so far early on in the season which is hoped to be continued.

Prior to the Motherwell v Dundee match Saturday 19th, Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell expresses the teams previous game successes as a "class week" following the teams win against Hibernian 2-1. When asked about the opposition, Kettlewell stated Dundee are a "very good side" and with Captain Paul McGinn suffering a muscle injury which puts him out for a good period of time, the team will have to continue to keep consistent in order to cope with what Kettlewell describes as fierce competition. "My biggest passion is seeing the players improve" insisted the manager, with confidence that the team are driven by the results on the pitch. This is evident with Motherwell's Englishman Aston Oxborough asserting himself in the football industry with his consistent success securing the spot of the clubs number one keeper which followed with him being voted player of the month in September by fans, and then scoring with a new contract guaranteeing his place up till the Summer of 2027.
