Stuart Kettlewell reckons Motherwell rebuild ‘rivals’ Rangers own
Stuart Kettlewell reckons he has faced a similar summer rebuild at Motherwell as Philippe Clement has at Rangers.
Recently, the Rangers manager has asked for patience from the Gers faithful and has pointed out how he has reduced the average age and wage of the squad over the summer. Speaking in August of this year, the Belgian had claimed he was “200 per cent sure we are going to be much better in October, November and December and the months after”.
However, the pressure has only intensified on the boss with fans not impressed with what they’re seeing on the pitch after losing their last two away games in the Scottish Premiership, with a mammoth League Cup semi-final against Kettlewell’s side on Sunday.
Rangers sit just three points above Motherwell — and a staggering nine back from today’s semi-finalists Aberdeen and Celtic — ahead of their Premier Sports Cup semi-final. Kettlewell introduced 13 new players into his squad this season having cut his wage bill the previous campaign.

“You talk about two football clubs that have rebuilt,” he said. “I know that’s been mentioned a lot with Rangers about the number of players that went out and the number of players that have come in. I think we can rival that.
“And the big difference comes that Rangers spend millions on players and we look for free agents and we look into the loan market.
