Motherwell expect to appoint a new manager this week, with Grant McCann, Ian Holloway and caretaker boss Stuart Kettlewell the last three contenders.

Lead development coach Kettlewell has guided Motherwell six points clear of bottom spot with a win over St Mirren and Sunday's victory against Hearts.

The 38-year-old's last job was with Ross County, leaving in December 2020.

"I am genuinely not pitching myself for this job," Kettlewell told BBC Scotland after the Hearts win.

"If the club think I can help them out, there is a conversation to be had. Genuinely, we have not had that conversation. I wasn't expecting that conversation."

Former Northern Ireland midfielder McCann, 42, has had three spells in charge of Peterborough United, and has also managed Doncaster Rovers and Hull City.

Englishman Holloway, 59, has also managed exclusively in England at Bristol Rovers, Queens Park Rangers, Plymouth, Leicester, Blackpool, Crystal Palace, Millwall and, most recently, Grimsby.

Steven Hammell left the manager's role following last weekend's Scottish Cup defeat by Raith Rovers.
