Motherwell Football Club is a professional football team from Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, Scotland. They play in the Scottish Premiership, which is the top football league in Scotland. Motherwell has been in the top league since 1985. During this time, they won the Scottish Cup in 1991.
The team wears traditional claret (a deep red) and amber (a yellowish-orange) colours. Their home stadium is Fir Park, where they have played since 1896. Motherwell's biggest rivals are Hamilton Academical and Airdrieonians. These games are called the Lanarkshire derby because the teams are close geographically.
Motherwell has won four major trophies in Scotland. They won the Scottish League title in 1931–32. They also won the Scottish Cup twice, in 1951–52 and 1990–91. Their other major win was the Scottish League Cup in 1950–51.
Some people believe that Motherwell fans started the "Viking Thunder Clap" chant. This chant became very popular with the Iceland national football team during Euro 2016. Fans clap together, slowly at first, then faster and faster.

History of Motherwell FC
How the Club Started
Motherwell FC was created on May 17, 1886. Two local factory teams, Glencairn FC and Alpha F.C., decided to join together. They wanted to form one big club to represent the whole town of Motherwell. Their first game was a success, as they beat Hamilton Academical 3–2.
In the early years, it was sometimes hard to get enough players for games. Many players worked long shifts in the local ironworks. On August 5, 1893, the club decided to become professional. This meant players would be paid. Motherwell was the only team from Lanarkshire to play at the national level then.
Before 1895, Motherwell played at different fields. These included Roman Road and Dalziel Park. But Dalziel Park was too small and muddy. So, Lord Hamilton gave them land on his estate. This new ground was called Fir Park, and it has been their home for over 120 years.
The club continued to grow. They hired their first and longest-serving manager, John 'Sailor' Hunter. He led the club through its most successful period. In 1913, the club changed its colours from blue to the famous claret and amber. Some say this was inspired by Bradford City, who also wear these colours. Others believe they were Lord Hamilton of Dalzell's racing colours.
Success in the 1920s and 1930s
Motherwell had a great run after World War I, under manager John Hunter. They finished third in the league in the 1919–20 season. After a tough year in 1924–25, they improved a lot. They finished in the top three for seven seasons in a row.
In the summer of 1927, the team went on a very successful trip to Spain. They won six out of eight games, losing only one. This included a big 3–1 win over Real Madrid. They also had a 2–2 draw with Barcelona. After Spain, they toured South America. They lost only three of ten games there.
Motherwell won their first (and only) Scottish League championship in 1931–32. They won 30 out of 38 games and scored 119 goals! A record 52 of these goals were scored by Willie MacFadyen. He still holds the record for most goals in a single season. He also scored 251 goals for the club in total. Motherwell won the championship on April 23, 1932. This happened when Rangers could only draw their game. Between 1904 and 1947, Motherwell was the only club outside of the "Old Firm" (Rangers and Celtic) to win the league title.
In the next two seasons, Motherwell finished second in the league. They had also been runners-up in 1926–27 and 1929–30. They also played in three Scottish Cup finals during this time (1931, 1933, and 1939). However, they lost all of them.
After World War II
After World War II, the team changed a lot. They were not immediately successful. But then, they won two major trophies in two years. They won the 1950 Scottish League Cup final and the 1952 Scottish Cup Final. The club was then relegated for the first time ever in 1952–53. But they were promoted back to the top league the very next year.
Bobby Ancell became manager in 1955. During his time, many great Scotland players like Ian St John played for Motherwell. But the club couldn't keep its best players. They didn't win any trophies under Ancell. He left in 1965, and the team was relegated again in 1967–68.
1970s and 1980s
Motherwell quickly got promoted back to the top league in 1969. They usually finished in the middle of the table. In 1975–76, the league changed to a smaller 10-team Premier League. Under manager Willie McLean, Motherwell finished fourth. Players like Bobby Graham and Willie Pettigrew helped them. They had a good run in the 1975–76 Scottish Cup, beating Celtic before losing to Rangers.
The 1990s: Cup Win and High Finishes
Motherwell was relegated and promoted twice in the early 1980s. Then, under manager Tommy McLean, they won the Scottish Cup in 1991! But after this big win, star player Tom Boyd was sold. The team's results dipped for two years.
However, after signing Paul Lambert, they had two more excellent seasons. They finished third in 1993–94 and second in 1994–95. The second-place finish in 1995 was their highest since 1933–34.
When Tommy McLean left in 1994, many players were sold. Celtic paid a lot of money for Phil O'Donnell. This money was used to buy new players. The club had several managers, including Alex McLeish. In August 1998, John Boyle bought the club. Billy Davies became manager, and the club spent a lot on players like John Spencer. But this didn't bring success on the field.
The 2000s: Financial Challenges and Recovery
By the early 2000s, the club was in financial trouble. They were losing about £2 million each year. In April 2002, the club had to go into "administration." This is a legal process when a company has serious money problems. Eric Black resigned as manager, and Terry Butcher took over. The club had to let go of 19 players and bring in younger ones. John Boyle also put the club up for sale.
Motherwell finished last in the league in 2002–03. Normally, this means relegation. But they avoided it because Falkirk, who won the league below, didn't have a stadium that met the top league's rules.
Even with little money, the club found many talented young players. When these players, like Stephen Pearson and James McFadden, moved to other clubs, Motherwell received money from transfer fees. John Boyle also removed the club's debt to him. By the end of the 2004–05 season, the club's finances were much better. They also reached the League Cup final, but lost to Rangers.
Terry Butcher left in 2006, and his assistant Maurice Malpas took over. Malpas stayed for only one season. After a short time with Scott Leitch as temporary manager, Mark McGhee was appointed. In his first season, McGhee led the club to third place in the league. This meant they qualified for the UEFA Cup (now Europa League) for the first time in 13 years. They lost to French team AS Nancy. Mark McGhee left for Aberdeen in 2009, and Jim Gannon took over. Former Scotland manager Craig Brown became manager when Gannon left.
2010 to Today
Craig Brown helped Motherwell finish fifth in the league and qualify for Europe. In the 2010–11 Europa League, they beat Breiðablik and Aalesunds. But they lost to Odense and didn't reach the group stages. Brown left for Aberdeen in December 2010. Stuart McCall became the new manager. That season, Motherwell reached the Scottish Cup Final but lost 3–0 to Celtic.
In 2011–12, Motherwell reached the qualifying round of the Champions League for the first time. They finished third in the league. They got a Champions League spot because Rangers, who finished above them, had financial problems and couldn't play in Europe. Motherwell played against Greek team Panathinaikos but lost both games.
The 2012–13 season was even better in the league. The club finished second and qualified for the Europa League again. Striker Michael Higdon won the PFA Scotland Players' Player of the Year award. Several Motherwell players were chosen for the PFA Scotland Team of the Year.
Motherwell joined the European Club Association in June 2013. They were invited because they consistently qualified for European competitions. In 2013–14, Motherwell lost to Russian team Kuban Krasnodar in the Europa League. On January 22, 2014, Motherwell won their 40th Lanarkshire Cup. They beat Hamilton Academical 1–0.
On the last day of the 2013–14 season, Motherwell won 1–0 at Aberdeen. This dramatic 93rd-minute goal helped them finish second in the league again! They had a record 70 points. This meant they qualified for European football for the sixth time in seven seasons. However, they also had a surprising 1–0 loss to Albion Rovers in the Scottish Cup.
Motherwell had a tough start to the 2014–15 season. Manager Stuart McCall resigned in November 2014. Ian Baraclough took over in December. But Motherwell ended up in a play-off to avoid relegation. They faced Rangers in the play-off finals. Motherwell won the first game 3–1 at Rangers' stadium. They then won the second game 3–0 at home, securing their spot in the top division.
On September 23, 2015, Ian Baraclough left the club. Mark McGhee returned in October 2015 but was sacked in March 2017.
On October 28, 2016, Motherwell became a fan-owned club. The supporters' group, Well Society, took over. On October 13, 2017, Manager Stephen Robinson extended his contract. Robinson resigned on December 31, 2020.
Motherwell in Books In the crime novel The Greenock Murders (2021) by Kieran James, a 10-year-old boy named Wee Robbie supports Motherwell FC. He moves to Greenock and faces bullying but stays loyal to his team. In the story, Motherwell beats Rangers 2–1 in a fictional 2022 Scottish Cup Final.
Club Records and Achievements
Motherwell has won four major trophies:
- The First Division in 1931–32.
