Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell sat down with BBC Scotland before his side's Scottish Premiership clash with St Mirren on Saturday.

Here are the best bits from the exclusive interview:

• Clearly pleased with the start to the season, second in the league and level on points with Celtic, but stressed that it's just a start. "If we start to get comfortable in our work, we can very quickly fall flat on our face."

• Believes that it all comes back to hard work, and doing the basics well. Says that the players' "willingness to improve" has been a really pleasing aspect, and that if that continues, they give themselves a shot at a good season.

• Touched on his personal drive, and where he wants to take the club. "I’ve seen it when this club gets to two cup finals in one season; plying your trade in Europe - I want to see if we can find those marks again."

• Pleased with the work done to replace Kevin van Veen’s goals, and still thinks there’s “more to come” from his squad on that front.

• When asked about the remarkable run of form Motherwell have been on since Kettlewell's arrival in February, the 39-year-old went back to his first game as caretaker manager, also against St Mirren - "There’s always a catalyst. If we don’t get that right, you might not be talking to me. That was a big night for us."

• Relishing the challenge of taking on St Mirren, who he described as a "very well drilled, very well organised team".
