The Motherwell football team has a modest yet storied history that harkens back to the days of 1886. These hardy fellas take to the pitch at their home grounds, better known as Fir Park Stadium, firmly nestled in the wilds of Scotland.

The prowess of the boys in claret and amber isn't just anecdotal, they’ve got a decent price tag to boot. Totalled up, the squad is valued at an acceptable sum of approximately £12m, as tallied by Transfermarkt.

A closer glance at the statistics shows a healthy count of 41 players on the squad's books, spring chickens most of them, averaging a tender 23 years of age.

Don't be misled by the relatively tender years of the squad, Motherwell have been giving it a right go this season, holding their own in three separate competitions. They find themselves sitting relatively pretty in fourth place in the Premiership, they've battled their way to the semi-finals in the League Cup and made it to the fifth round in the Scottish Cup. Not a bad showing at all for the lads from Lanarkshire.
