Stuart Kettlewell will get the chance to take the Motherwell job permanently on the back of his impressive caretaker stint.
Record Sport understands Fir Park chairman Jim McMahon has told the 38-year-old the position is his if he wants it and the parties will meet this morning to talk terms. Kettlewell has steadied the ship in the wake of Steven Hammell’s dismissal last weekend with two wins on the bounce to move SIX points clear of the relegation zone.
Resurgent Well defeated Hearts 2-0 at Fir Park yesterday on the back of the midweek win against St Mirren and it was enough to convinced club chiefs the ex-Ross County man could take charge on a longer-term basis. Well bosses also held talks with much-travelled English gaffer Ian Holloway and former Hull City gaffer Grant McCann, while former Hibs manager Jack Ross took himself out of the running.
