Moving to Motherwell has restored Christian Ilic’s faith in people – but he admits to being slightly daunted when he initially walked into the Fir Park dressing room. Motherwell stepped in and the 23-year-old is loving life in Lanarkshire after making his first appearance for 16 weeks during Wednesday’s 1-0 win at Aberdeen. “I signed a contract and they just said they don’t have plans for me and another six players. “Last summer was something that showed me what football is, but it also showed me that everything goes quick in football. I feel ready, I feel good and I want to stay on the pitch.”With Christopher Long and Jermaine Hylton struggling to make Saturday’s Fir Park clash, Ilic is likely to be involved again.
