Motherwell are lining up ex-boss Stephen Robinson as the replacement for Graham Alexander. The St Mirren gaffer is top of the Fir Park board’s wish list and Well are expected to make their move on Monday after the two clubs face off tomorrow in Paisley.
Alexander stepped down as Motherwell manager last night after their embarrassing Europa Conference League exit to Sligo Rovers.The former Scotland star asked to speak to members of the board on Friday morning, where it was agreed by all parties that they should part ways by mutual consent.
It sees Alexander and his assistant, Chris Lucketti, depart Motherwell before a domestic ball has even been kicked this season. Alexander’s final stance was the meek 2-0 defeat in Sligo on Thursday that saw them crash out of Europe 3-0 on aggregate. Academy chief Stevie Hammell is set to take the team for Saturday’s trip to St Mirren. Robinson is the preferred candidate but former player Paul Lambert and ex-Kelty Hearts boss Kevin Thomson are could come under consideration if the deal doesn’t happen.
