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.
The four-match ban handed out to Rangers boss Derek McInnes is disproportionate, according to the club's former midfielder Andy Halliday. McInnes described the decision to award Celtic a late penalty at Motherwell in May as "disgusting" while he was still in charge of Hearts. Celtic's 3-2 victory at Fir Park on 13 May kept them one point behind Hearts, who they beat to the title a few days later in a final-day decider.
