BBCWed, November 26, 2025 at 1:18 PM UTC·1 min readJens Berthel Askou's Motherwell play "sensational" football and are the best team to watch in the Scottish Premiership.
That's the view of former Hibs, Celtic and Dundee United midfielder Scott Allan, who was blown away by his first in-person viewing of Askou's side on Tuesday night.

Under Dane Askou, Motherwell have won five of their 13 league games, losing just two, and reached the League Cup semi-finals where they lost to St Mirren.
"Their performance was sensational," Allan told the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast. "There were times you have to clap at some of the stuff that was going on.
"I've watched them on the TV, that was my first time watching them live, I think they are the best football team in the league.
"I don't think they have the best players but they are the best football team to watch in the league.

"Whether that was the Cadden brothers putting crosses into the box, the space in behind for [Martin] Boyle to run the channels, [Josh] Mulligan's running power from midfield. They took all that away and it was purely down to the shape of how the manager set the players up.
"At the same time as all that, some of the football was just sensational and they were unlucky not to run away with three of four goals on the night."
