Ex-Rangers keeper to be named new coach at Motherwell

Motherwell are set to name former Rangers and Hearts star Neil Alexander as their new goalkeeping coach.

The 44-year-old comes in to the Fir Park coaching staff to replace Andy Dibble, who left shortly after boss Graham Alexander and assistant Chris Lucketti stepped down at the end of July.

Alexander had been goalkeeping coach at Dundee United but left last summer and ended last season at Dunfermline under then-boss John Hughes.

Edinburgh-born Alexander, who was pictured at Fir Park during their 0-0 draw with Dundee United on Saturday, has extensive experience, having played for clubs including Rangers, Hearts, Aberdeen and Livingston in Scotland, as well as spending time down south with Cardiff City, Ipswich Town and Crystal Palace.

The Daily Record reports that Alexander will work with Liam Kelly, Aston Oxborough and Matt Connelly.

Former Partick Thistle star Scott Fox had been coaching, but has gone out on loan to Queen of the South.
