Former Hibs boss Jack Ross is set to open talks with Motherwell over the vacant manager's role at Fir Park, according to reports.
The 46-year-old is belived to be on a three man shortlist to replace Steven Hammell, who was sacked ast week following a 3-1 Scottish Cup exit to Championship side Raith Rovers and a dismal run in the Premiership which left the club joint-bottom of the table.
Motherwell's development coach Stuart Kettlewell has been handed the reins on an interim basis and he enjoyed a strong first audition for the job last night in a 2-2 win over St Mirren - which was 'Well's first home league win in nearly six months. It lifted Motherwell off the bottom of the Premiership and ended a run of 11 games without a win.
