Lukas Fadinger hailed Motherwell's "amazing" winning goal against Hibernian as an example that they are sticking close to last season's successful template despite a change in management. The midfielder had slotted the visitors ahead from the penalty spot in their first game of the new Scottish Premiership season before watching admiringly as Ibrahim Said restored the advantage to finish off a sweeping counter-attack. Jens Berthel Askou moved to Toulouse this summer after leading Motherwell to a fourth-place finish, with Alfred Johansson his replacement.
Motherwell have submitted an appeal against a £5000 fine from the Scottish FA for a social media post criticising the decision to award Celtic a stoppage-time penalty at Fir Park in May. On what was the penultimate round of Premiership fixtures, Kelechi Iheanacho converted from the spot for a 3-2 victory after Sam Nicholson was penalised for handball. Motherwell released a video with the caption: "As the world of football mocks our game, we simply have to draw a line in the sand and shift the focus."
Alex Paulsen revealed former Motherwell star Elijah Just was a key factor in his move to Fir Park. Just left Motherwell for a club-record fee earlier this summer, signing for Swansea City off the back of an impressive World Cup campaign with New Zealand. The 24-year-old goalkeeper made his Motherwell debut in Thursday's 2-0 win over HB in Conference League qualifying, making several good saves.
