Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson will take his squad on a week-long training camp after feeling they missed the pre-season bonding session last year.

The former Northern Ireland assistant will take his players to Carton House, near Dublin, which has just hosted the British and Irish Lions, later this month.

Robinson told the club's official website: "Preparation and organisation is huge for me and after reviewing everything about last season, it's something I feel we probably missed.

"I think the time together, working hard, bonding and getting to know each other is extremely important, particularly if you're recruiting a lot of new players.''

Robinson is yet to complete his first signing but chief operating officer Alan Burrows revealed on Twitter earlier this week that they had "three or four almost over the line''.
