With roots planted firmly in the year of 1886, Motherwell have etched their name into the annals of Scottish football history. They call Fir Park Stadium, a venerable structure located in the heartland of Scotland, their home. A place where they've played the beautiful game for well over a century.

Assessing the talent within their ranks, the Well sit on a valuable treasure trove of footballing ability. The squad's total market value hovers around the £7m mark. That's no mean feat given the realities of Scotland's financial clout within the game, a figure that has been attributed to them by the reliable folks at Transfermarkt.

The backbone of their team is made up of 29 lads, and impressively, they boast an average age of a mere 23. A striking fact, denoting a clear emphasis on youth and its potential in their strategic setup. Their future shows promise with such a nucleus of young talent under their club's badge.

Not content with merely turning out in domestic duties, Motherwell have also thrown their hat into the ring in multiple competitions this season. They've shown mettle in the Premiership, punching above their weight to hold on to the 7th position. Additionally, their journey in the League Cup is noteworthy, having reached the competitive stage of the Quarter-Finals.
