Stuart McCall quit as Motherwell boss - two weeks after being talked out of leaving by his employers. The second-longest serving manager in Scottish senior football was, Sportsmail understands, ready to walk after losing 3-1 at home to Dundee a fortnight ago. Convinced to stay on in the hope of turning around a horrific early-season run of form, McCall ultimately had his spirit broken by successive away defeats to Aberdeen and St Johnstone. Stuart McCall has resigned as Motherwell boss having been convinced to stay on just two weeks ago Motherwell players hold their heads in their hands as they succumb to another defeat on Friday
