Lennon Miller ‘lives dream’ to captain Motherwell in cup semi-final aged 18
“Because I’ve got the armband, I’m not going to change before the game. I’ll try to do my talking with my feet.”
Miller recalled that “the last time I was at Hampden, I was in the stand watching a League Cup final” – a 2-0 defeat by Celtic in 2017 – and now he hopes to lead them to a victory against the other side of the Old Firm.
“To captain this club is what dreams are made of,” he said. “It’s where I’ve been most of my life really and the fact that I came through the academy and to captain your team at Hampden is a massive thing for me.”
Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell said the decision was an “easy one”.
“He maybe not the loudest voice in there, but his level of performance I believe leads other players,” he explained. “I believe at times some of what he does on a football pitch can be an inspiration to others even at that young tender age.
“When asking that question of Lennon, you guys won’t be surprised to learn that he shrugged his shoulders and said yeah, no problem at all.”
Arsenal interim manager Renee Slegers says she will be in charge for at least the next five matches at the Women’s Super League club.
Dutchwoman Slegers took over on 15 October when former manager Jonas Eidevall resigned.
Slegers has since overseen a 4-1 win over against Valerenga in the Women’s Champions League group stages and a 2-0 victory over West Ham in the WSL.
“For these five games, I will be staying in the interim role,” said Slegers.
When asked if she could see herself doing the role long-term, she added: “I definitely see myself doing it at the moment.
“I enjoy working with the girls and the club to try to get successes. I have done it before and enjoy the role but when you do it over a period of time it becomes different. Now, I am really enjoying my role.”
New York City head coach Nick Cushing has emerged as a candidate to replace Eidevall but is overseeing play-off matches in the United States in November.
Cushing led Manchester City to the WSL title in 2016 during a seven-year spell before moving to the United States in 2020.
Arsenal face a trip to Leigh Sports Village to take on Manchester United in the WSL on Sunday before hosting Brighton next Friday – both teams are currently above them in the table.
They also play Juventus twice in the Women’s Champions League this month, either side of an away game at north London rivals Tottenham in the WSL.
“We are competing in two competitions. If you want to get straight to it, we are going for five wins,” said Slegers.
“That is what we’re trying to achieve. It’s as easy as that on paper. I know it’s small margins, top opposition and it will be hard challenges but of course we believe we can achieve that.”

Jackline Juma is making history as the first woman to coach a men’s team in Kenya’s top flight – but is still having to cope with sexism on the touchline.
Leading FC Talanta into the new Kenyan Premier League (KPL) season, it did not take Juma long to realise that not everyone viewed her appointment as positive.
“There were some words uttered from the other bench like ‘We are not playing women’s football’,” Juma told BBC Sport Africa, discussing her second game in charge against Sofapaka.
“And I was like ‘Oh, OK. But let 90 minutes decide’.”
Juma’s side ran out 1-0 winners to silence her critics.
“After the match, of course, we did not shake hands,” she said.
“Earning three points against a very experienced coach gave me the motivation that I need to keep going.”
A Sofapaka official did not respond to a request for comment on the incident.
A 38-year-old mother of two, Juma began coaching over two decades ago and now holds the Confederation of African Football’s A license – the second-highest badge on offer on the continent.
She names Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti and Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta as her inspirations in the dugout, and aims to implement a dominant possession-based style.
While she has become a pioneer for other women to follow, at first she did not view her appointment in August through the prism of gender.
“To me, I thought it’s normal,” she said.
“It wasn’t until they talked about it being history that I realised this is big.
“Gender should not be a barrier. I told myself they’ll judge me based on what I deliver, not because I’m a female coach.”
