Motherwell will “aim ambitiously for a strong finish to the season”, says Jens Berthel Askou, after the Dane picked up his second Scottish Premiership manager of the month award.
The 43-year-old becomes the first Fir Park boss to claim the accolade twice in one campaign since Graham Alexander in 2021.

Despite suffering a Scottish Cup exit at Aberdeen halfway through the month, Motherwell picked up 10 points from a possible 12 in the league in February.
A late draw with 10 men at home to Rangers was followed by a trio of wins against the Dons, St Mirren and Dundee United, scoring nine goals without conceding.
