The 34-year-old worked under former Celtic and Scotland star Shaun Maloney when he was in charge of the Lactics in 2023 and has now begun working as Jens Berthel Askou’s right-hand man. He replaces Ahmet Koc who left the club last week.

Rogers told the Motherwell website: “I am very happy to join Motherwell as assistant manager.

“In my discussions with the manager, I was really impressed with his vision for the team along with the winning mentality that he wants to create at the club and in the squad.
