Kettlewell resigns after ‘personal abuse’ from Motherwell fans
Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell, December 29, 2024

MOTHERWELL manager Stuart Kettlewell has quit after abuse from a section of fans forced his family away from matches.

Motherwell sit fifth in the William Hill Premiership but some fans had turned against Kettlewell, particularly in the wake of the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup defeat by St Johnstone on January 18.

After another defeat in Perth on Saturday, this time in the league, the former Ross County manager decided he has had enough.
