FADI PLAYS WITH FIRE

ST JOHNSTONE V M'WELL FRASER MACKIE AT McDIARMID PARK

- 

MOTHERWELL were managerless when Lukas Fadinger took a leap of faith to move to Lanarkshire.

Now he loves taking risks ON the park as Jens Berthel Askou's rapid revamp moves up a gear.

Fadi and his friends are hanging on the Danish head coach's every word as he beds in an exciting new style.

Yet there was no plan in place when the Austrian ace landed in Scotland in late May.

Fadinger penned his two-year deal just four days after Michael Wimmer's shock resignation.

There was a fortnight's void before Askou's appointment and that already looks like shrewd business.

The Steelmen are seven games unbeaten under the new boss. They've kept a clean sheet in four out of their last five matches.

And Askou's commitment to intense, possession-based play from the back is reaping rewards as well as earning plenty of plaudits.

On Saturday, Fadinger's 108th-minute winner booked a Premier Sports Cup last-eight trip to Aberdeen.
