The Lanarkshire-based football team, Motherwell, was conceived back in 1886. It's a club that's deeply entrenched in the fabric of Scottish football. They blow their trumpets from Fir Park Stadium, a turf that has been their home for many a year.

As it currently stands, the Motherwell squad is worth about ยฃ12m, or thereabouts according to Transfermarkt. A figure that may raise a few eyebrows, given the modest Stock in Scottish football. But that's the case here.

The team boasts a rather large squad of 48 lads, youthful ones at that too, with the majority clocking in at around 23 years of age. Full of vim and vigour, one might say, and ready to tackle the challenges that lie ahead with a fresh outlook.

Turning our lens to their ongoing campaigns, Motherwell are significantly involved in three distinct competitions. In the Premiership, they're hovering near the middle of the table, having secured an 8th place standing thus far. In the Scottish Cup, they managed to make waves up until the fourth round, a worthy endeavour indeed. Not to mention their gallant effort in the League Cup where they managed to advance all the way to the Semi-Finals. A notable accomplishment for the squad and something they certainly would be proud of.
