Motherwell defender Paul McGinn joked he would have been telling folk to ‘check themselves into rehab’ if they’d told him the Steelmen would go from joint-bottom of the Premiership to the best of the bottom six last season.
When Stuart Kettlewell took the reins after Steven Hammell’s sacking in February, Motherwell were staring at a battle for their Premiership survival and a potential first season outside of the top flight in 38 years.
Incredibly, Kettlewell worked his magic to haul the club away from the mire and up to seventh place with a run of just two defeats in 14 matches, which came against Rangers and relegated side Dundee United.
