Full Squad Season 2006-2007

Grant Thomson, Martin McIntyre, Paul Daly, Gary Stirling, Paul Byrne, Gerry Smith, Jim Gibbons, Mathew Lafferty, Billy Neil, Sean McEnroe, Saaf Elzubaidi, David Adams, Jonathon Boal, Ross Main, Scott Sommerville, David Mann, Peter McGinn and David Knight.

The first pre-season friendly was against old rivals from last year Lanarkshire United. Motherwell started where they finished the previous season with slick passing and clever movement.

Two goals from Sean Mcenroe a goal from Gerry Smith and a debut goal from Jonathon Boal had the Colts cruising and when Scott Sommerville lobbed the United goalkeeper from the half way line Motherwell eased to an impressive 5-1 victory.

The final pre-season game was against a vastly changed Strathaven side. This was a very strong physical contest with neither side treating this as a friendly.

Motherwell fell behind in the first half to a scrappy goal and despite having a goal disallowed for a reason known only to the referee the Colts drew level when David Adams forced the ball into the back of the Strathaven Net.
