Stuart McCall expects no new Motherwell signings

Motherwell manager Stuart McCall has said that he does not expect to make any signings this summer, despite three key players having left the club.

McCall believes that the decision to put Rangers into the Scottish Third Division will restrict finances and stop him from being able to bolster his squad ahead of the Champions League qualifiers in late July.

"I think we have lost 10 players and we have brought five kids up from the under-19s and now with that decision yesterday it's going to prove almost impossible to bring anybody into the club," McCall told BBC Scotland.

"That's the financial aspect, I'm not saying it is right or wrong, but that's the reality."

Motherwell find out their Champions League qualifying opponents on Friday.
