Stuart Kettlewell insists making Motherwell “horrible” hosts is one of his first priorities as boss to ensure they aren’t evicted from the Premiership.
The Steelmen had become a soft touch on their own patch winning just once in 11 league games leading to their slump to level bottom of the table before Stevie Hammell was axed two weeks ago. But Kettlewell wants to turn Fir Park back into a fortress as he looks to lead his troops up the table. His impact as caretaker was immediate as he led Well to two home victories against St Mirren and Hearts.
And after penning a 16-month deal to become the new permanent manager, the 38-year-old said: “I’d like Fir Park to be a horrible place to come to for opposition teams but where supporters enjoy what they see in front of them. It can be a horrible place to come for a number of reasons. By how you play, pass the ball, your energy and aggression, discipline and structure.
