Van Veen has now scored 17 goals in all competitions this season, which is the highest total for a Motherwell player since Louis Moult scored 18 in 2016/17. Stuart Kettlewell has three wins and a draw in four matches in charge of the Steelmen - this is the best start of any Motherwell manager since Roger Hynd won his first four games in charge back in 1977.
