Capped once for Scotland, Watt has had numerous clubs during his relatively short career but is perhaps best known for scoring Celtic's second goal in a famous 2-1 home European win over Spanish giants Barcelona in November 2012.

The 26-year-old arrives at Fir Park as a free agent having left CSKA Sofia in January.

He scored five goals in Bulgaria, having been with St Johnstone for the 2018-19 season, netting on eight occasions.

"Tony is a player who maybe has a little bit of a point to prove," 'Well gaffer Stephen Robinson told the Motherwell FC website.

"We lost James Scott at the last second of the window. So being able to bring a player of Tony's experience in on a short-term deal is a big boost for us.

"He will bring us another option in attack as we look to secure a top six place and push on."
