Motherwell, whose long time crocked centre back Charles Dunne made his return from injury in the Reserves’ 4-3 defeat against Kilmarnock at Broadwood on Monday, will return to league action in a vital Lanarkshire derby this Saturday, kick-off 3pm.

Hosts Hamilton Accies are second bottom of the Scottish Premiership table – only one point ahead of bottom club Hearts – so are in desperate need of three points in their seemingly annual battle against relegation.

But it is also a crucial game for Motherwell – who slipped down to fourth place in the table, below Aberdeen – after suffering a sickening last gasp 2-1 defeat at St Johnstone last Wednesday night.
