Liam Kelly loving life in Motherwell striker shadow as skipper reveals the dark days driving Steelmen forward

He's hard to ignore given that his voice booms round the ground for 90 minutes. But Liam Kelly insists NOT being noticed is the marker he judges his form on - and right now he’s delighted to be standing in the shadows of Motherwell’s red hot strikers.

The goalkeeper is first to admit his performances had dipped prior to Stuart Kettlewell’s appointment in February as Well suffered an 11-game winless run that saw morale plummet and Well drop into the relegation mire.

Since then the skipper has returned to the kind of form that propelled him into Steve Clarke’e Scotland squad - losing just twice in 11 games and conceding only 10 goals in that run.

Well have the best defensive record in the top flight outside the Old Firm and combined with Kevin van Veen’s sensational goalscoring form it’s lifted them clear of the drop zone.
