Motherwell ace Stephen O'Donnell: Tawanda Maswanhise embarrassed me in training with his tricks, he'll bring a lot of quality

Motherwell defender Stephen O'Donnell revealed new signing Tawanda Maswanhise has been embarrassing him in training with his tricks - but hopes it will be Premiership defences he terrorises during his stint in ML1.

The Fir Park faithful saw flashes of what Maswanhise can do when he delivered the assist for Moses Ebiye's goal that knocked 10-man Kilmarnock out of the Premier Sports Cup yesterday, earning a quarter-final tie with Dundee United next month.

But O'Donnell has already been on the receiving end of some of Maswanhise magic in training. The Zimbabwean caught the eye of the Steelmen in a bounce game with Everton earlier this month and boss Stuart Kettlewell has snapped him up on a short-term deal until January to see how he fares in Scotland.

To be fair, O'Donnell isn't the only one to suffer at the hands of the 21-year-old this week as the winger had Killie's David Watson on toast at times during Motherwell's victory.

And the Scotland international is hoping his nw team-mate continues to turn on the style in claret and amber. He said: "We saw him the other week against Everton and you could see he had a bit of quality. He was direct and that is something we don't have too much of in the squad at the moment.

"He's trained well. He chopped me in and out in a couple of sessions, he got to embarrass me, so that was good for him. He certainly looks like a good player and hopefully he'll bring a lot of quality to the squad.

"Losing the likes of Harry Paton and Sam Nicholson to injury, who are the ball carriers, Tawanda offers us something different. If we get the ball out there to him, it is good to see he is chopping players, trying to create something and that's what you want. That's what fans want to see as well, so
