Firmly established in the annals of football history, Motherwell Football Club was established in the year 1886. The club's headquarters are parked in Fir Park Stadium, located in the heart of Scotland's sporting topography. With their foundations steeped in more than a century of Scottish football, Motherwell's nurturing of promising players over the years has served them well.

The reward of this long-term cultivation is evident in the total market value of their squad. According to Transfermarkt, the current cohort of Motherwell players command a combined value of around £7 million. A figure worth noting, given the economics of modern football.

Comprising a respectable 44 players, Motherwell's playing squad maintains an average age of only 23 years. This relatively youthful age profile is indicative of the club's enduring investment in up-and-coming footballing talent.

On the pitch this current season, Motherwell have had their fingers in a number of competitive pies. Those include a commendable 4th place standing in the Premiership, a spirited reach into the semi-finals of the League Cup and making the fifth round of the Scottish Cup.
