Founded in the year of our Lord 1886, Motherwell are ensconced in the behemoth of Fir Park Stadium, plying their footballing trade amidst the notoriously dynamic Scottish climate.

Making a home amidst the sprawling displays of Scottish steel and Davie Cooper pyrotechnics, the team has a market value nudging around the £12m mark. This financial detail is offered by no less esteemed a source than Transfermarkt.

Peppered among the hallowed grounds of Fir Park are some 48 individuals garbed in Motherwell claret and amber, the average age of these lads being a tender 23 years. Firmly in the throes of youthful exuberance, one might wager.

This footballing season has witnessed Motherwell show a degree of industriousness in no fewer than three separate competitions. Our local heroes currently find themselves ensconced in 8th place within the Premiership. Progress has also been made within the League Cup, the lads having strained and strived until the Semi-Finals. Additionally, within the auspices of the Scottish Cup, Motherwell played until the Fourth Round.
