Motherwell

Motherwell Football & Athletic Club are a Scottish professional football club based in Motherwell. The club competes in the Scottish Premier League and is one of only seven teams to have remained in this league since it was founded in 1998. Motherwell have not dropped out of the top-flight of Scottish football since 1984, however they have only lifted one trophy in that time when they won the Scottish Cup in 1991.

Clad in the traditional claret and amber, Motherwell play their home matches at Fir Park Stadium and have done since 1896. The club's main rivals over the years have been Hamilton Academical and Airdrie United, due in part to their close geographical proximities. The meetings of these clubs have been fairly few and far between over recent years, however since the 2008/09 season and Hamilton's promotion from the first division, the North Lanarkshire derby has been somewhat revived.
