Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson revealed on Tuesday that contract talks with wing sensation Jake Hastie are “ongoing”, writes Craig Goldthorp.

The 19-year-old, who has already scored five goals for 'Well, is yet to sign the three-year deal put to him by the Steelmen, where Hastie's current contract runs out this summer.

The Old Firm, Middlesbrough and Hull City have all been linked with the player but boss Robbo believes it would be much better for Hastie's long term career to remain at Motherwell for the foreseeable future.

“I’m always hopeful,” Robbo added.

The Steelmen gaffer also said that striker Curtis Main is back in the fold to line up in the league game at Kilmarnock tonight (Wednesday), after missing Sunday’s 4-1 defeat at Parkhead.

Robinson said that it was “a real concern” that Carl McHugh was knocked out for the fourth time this season in the loss to the champions.
