Motherwell assistant boss Keith Lasley and goalkeeper Trevor Carson have given elderly fans a boost by calling them up for a chat during the coronavirus lockdown.
Pensioners over the age of 70 are in the category of those most at risk from the deadly virus and have been advised to stay indoors at all times.
The isolation can have huge impact our on the elderly, but Motherwell have reached out to their older fans to support them in these unprecedented and difficult times.
Lasley caught up with fans to check in on them last night and talk about old times at Fir Park.
My Dad too - brave man listening to him talking about the good old days. Thanks for taking the time to speak to him he really appreciated it!

And the Steelmen's goalkeeper, Trevor Carson, contacted an 86-year-old fan, who was 'buzzing' to take a call from the Northern Irishman.
