Why it Matters for Motherwell
The loss of 'humble' Just is a significant blow to Motherwell's chances of finishing in the top four of the Scottish Premiership.

In a statement, Stephen O'Neill said, 'We are disappointed to lose 'humble' Just, but we are confident that the club will continue to move forward. We have a talented squad and a strong team spirit, and we are looking forward to the challenges ahead.'
