Motherwell Manager Stuart Kettlewell Reacts to 1-2 Defeat Against Rangers

Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell shared his thoughts with BBC Scotland following his team’s 1-2 loss to Rangers, stating: “The overriding emotion is I’m disappointed. I’m gutted for the players and the supporters.” Kettlewell further commented on the team’s performance, remarking: “I thought we put ourselves in a really good position. For us to get better, there’s going to have to be moments where there’s better quality. It’s not a criticism, it’s my job to make sure we can tackle these games and have enough quality on the pitch.” He also addressed the competitive balance during the match, asserting: “There’s not a great gulf between the clubs on the day. We know they are going to have lots of the ball, but one or two better decisions probably keeps that negative feeling when we’re one ahead.” Despite the outcome, Kettlewell expressed confidence in his team’s overall progress, concluding: “This doesn’t derail our start to the season. I’m proud as punch because the players put it all out there.”
