Motherwell player of the year awards date announced as club to host in-person ceremony

Motherwell have announced they will host their Player of the Year Awards in-person for the first time in three years.

The Steelmen will hand out prizes at the town's Alona Hotel within Strathclyde Country Park on Saturday, May 7 with broadcaster and die-hard fan Tam Cowan hosting.

It's the first time since 2019 that the club will hold an in-person ceremony, following behind-closed-doors presentations during the pandemic.

And as the club still chase a top six spot in the Scottish Premiership and a potential European place, fans will soon get the chance to pick their Player of the Year, Young Player of the Year and Goal of the Season winners in the coming weeks.

Tickets are now on sale for the awards ceremony, which includes a three-course meal and live entertainment.

Adult tickets are priced at £68 and child tickets (12 and under) cost £35 . Fans can book by calling 01698 333333, by emailing or events@motherwellfc.co.uk or online.

Last season striker Tony Watt, who joined Premiership rivals Dundee United in January, took the top prize.

Goalkeeper and vice-captain Liam Kelly won the players’ player of the vote, with Devante Cole - now at English Championship side Barnsley - claiming the top scorer prize.
