The reserve team of Motherwell is known simply as Motherwell Reserves.
Motherwell have been an ever-present in the Scottish Premier Reserve League since its formation in the 1998/99 season. Initially starting as an Under 21 league, the reserve league was open to all age groups from season 2004/05.[3]
The Motherwell reserve team withdrew their team from the 2009/10 season due to financial constraints and a lack of support from other clubs, leading to the leagues eventual abandonment.[4] Motherwell Reserves now play friendly matches.
Motherwell Reserves usually play their home matches at Dalziel Park, a sports facility outside Motherwell, that is also the training ground of the first-team.
First Team manager Stuart McCall manages the reserve side, which mainly consists of players who are ineligible for the under-19 side, but have yet to become a first-team regular. Also, players returning from injury and on-form under 19 players compete in reserve games as well.
