Motherwell Men sit third in the Scottish Premiership after a sequence of results built on defensive stability. The North Lanarkshire side has conceded 24 goals in 26 league fixtures, representing one of the lowest tallies in the division. Stuart Kettlewell's team recorded 10 clean sheets during this campaign, according to statistics from the Scottish Professional Football League.
Goalkeeper Aston Oxborough has started every league match, making 78 saves to date. Only Celtic and Rangers have conceded fewer goals than the Fir Park club this season, per Sky Sports. The defensive unit, often featuring Dan Casey and Kofi Balmer, helped the team secure a 1-0 victory against St Mirren on 22 February.
This form leaves Motherwell four points behind second-placed Rangers, though the Glasgow side holds two matches in hand. The club has not finished in the top three of the top flight since the 2019-20 season. Motherwell next faces Dundee at Dens Park on 4 March, as reported by the SPFL.
