Jack Ross is one of three candidates for the Motherwell job with Tommy Wright OUT of the running, according to reports.
The former Hibs and Dundee United gaffer has been out of work since departing Tannadice earlier in the season after a short stint in charge. He is believed to be ready to open talks in the next 48 hours about the vacant Fir Park role alongside two other candidates say the Scottish Sun.
The 46-year-old is eager to get back into the day to day life of management and has picked up a wealth of experience with the likes of Alloa, St Mirren, Sunderland and his time at Easter Road - but he does face stiff competition states the same report. Stand-in boss Stuart Kettlewell picked up a vital three points last night as he guided the relegation threatened side to a big 2-1 win over the Buddies.
