Stevie Hammell hopes the personal touch can help him pull off a “massive coup” by convincing Robert Snodgrass to sign on at Motherwell.
The new Well boss is waiting for an answer from his former Scotland colleague after meeting with the winger and making him an offer for a sensational return north of the border. Hammell was blown away by the leadership qualities of Snodgrass, six years his junior, when he received an international call-up in 2013 and has kept in contact since.
Now he hopes that link can help him lure the veteran, who has options in the Championship and League One down south, to Lanarkshire where he is certain the 34-year-old’s energy off the park would be as valuable as his ability on it. Hammell said: “We aren’t best mates or anything but I know Robert. He’s someone who I worked with and he was a real help to me when I was in Scotland squads with him.
