Ewan Wilson // The journey from Beith Juniors to League Cup semi-finals

It was only in May of this year that Ewan Wilson was playing Junior football with Beith, after a failed loan spell at Stirling Albion. With his contract coming to an end, he knew he had to impress to have a chance of continuing his career at Motherwell. Fast forward to October and the 19-year-old is the first-team left-back for the Steelmen, having not missed a minute of league action. He's now a Scotland Under 21 internationalist and is preparing to play at Hampden in a League Cup semi-final against Rangers. The rise has been nothing short of exceptional, but it isn't just down to luck. Having came across personal issues with diet and weight, Wilson has been working hard behind the scenes to rectify his problems and come out the other side all the better for it.

Sunshine in Leith // Hibernian 1-2 Motherwell

Motherwell travelled down the M8 to Edinburgh, looking to make it six wins out of seven going into the October international break.  Taking on Hibernian at Easter Road, the Steelmen knew it wouldn't be an easy task and they felt the full force of an attacking Hibs side in the first-half, with Aston Oxborough and Lennon Miller both called into action to prevent the hosts taking the lead.  A half-time alteration seemed to do the trick however, as Apostolos Stamatelopoulos netted his first Motherwell goal from a clever Miller free kick.  The lead didn't last long as Junior Hoilett levelled the game minutes later. Moses Ebiye thought he had poked his team back in front, but the linesman had other ideas as he raised his flag for offside.  A red card for Hibernian's Nectarios Triantis swung the momentum with ten minutes to go, and shortly after, Andy Halliday cushioned home the winner from a Kofi Balmer throw-in.  The win takes Stuart Kettlewell's side fourth in table, and with a semi-final still to look forward to, things are looking good in ML1.

10 v 10 // Motherwell 2-1 St Mirren

It was a jam packed match against St Mirren in the William Hill Premiership, with Motherwell looking to make it five wins out of six.  And despite a decent start in the match, it was the Paisley side who opened the scoring through Killian Phillips. That was only the start of the action. Marcus Fraser was caught holding Dan Casey in the box. With the referee awarding a spot kick, Miller dispatched with ease to level the game. The 18-year-old wasn't done there. Miller worked his way past a defender before volleying low into the bottom corner to make it 2-1 to his side. Despite claims of handball from the St Mirren players, the goal stood and the game was turned around. But the good feeling didn't last too long into the second-half. In the first attack, Casey was adjudged to have handled the ball on the line, stopping a guaranteed goal in the process. The Irishman saw red and was given his marching orders. Aston Oxborough stepped up to the plate however, tipping Mark O'Hara's penalty onto the post. With a man advantage, St Mirren couldn't capitalise quickly. They would rue that as Scott Tanser was shown his second yellow of the day for a tackle on Stephen O'Donnell. Suddenly, it was 10v10. Miller and Apostolos Stamatelopoulos had chances, but neither could convert. With a total of 16 minutes stoppage time in the match, eventually time was called and the Steelmen could celebrate another win in North Lanarkshire.
