Ian Baraclough named new Motherwell boss

Former Scunthorpe United and Sligo Rovers boss Ian Baraclough is appointed the new manager of Motherwell.

Motherwell have confirmed the appointment of former Scunthorpe United and Sligo Rovers boss Ian Baraclough as the club's new manager.

The 44-year-old Englishman replaces Stuart McCall, who stepped down from his post at Fir Park last month following a run of five consecutive defeats.

Motherwell are currently in 10th place in the Scottish Premiership table.

"I am delighted and find myself in a privileged position," Baraclough told the club's official website. "I've done some research into the history of the club and I know how well the football club has done, certainly over recent years. It will be a hard task to take over from Stuart but one I'm very excited to take up.

"I'm a positive guy and I'm upbeat most of the time. The players will find that and I'll try and get that across to them. I want this club to feel energised and start climbing the table as soon as possible."

Motherwell are back in action this afternoon when they entertain Ross County in the league.
