Chris Cadden admits joining the class of 1991 would be a "dream come true" as the Motherwell wing-back bids to bring the William Hill Scottish Cup back to his hometown.

The 21-year-old is too young to remember Motherwell's second and most recent trophy win but he has heard all about it, never more so than this week.

And the Scotland Under-21 international is desperate to emulate the 1991 heroes when he faces Celtic in Saturday's final.

Cadden said: "It's the biggest day in Scottish football and all the boys are buzzing, the staff are buzzing and you can tell the fans are buzzing.

"Even when you walk about Asda, people are wishing you good luck. It gives you butterflies. It's only Tuesday and I can't wait to get out there and make it a special day for the fans.

"Everyone still talks about the '91 team and if we go out and do it and give the fans a day to remember then that will be like us.

"It's 20-odd years and people are still talking about it. To be part of that, and genuinely be living legends if we went on to win it, we can't wait.

"It would genuinely be a dream come true if I could lift that trophy in front of the Motherwell fans.

"You dream of going to cup finals but never in your wildest dreams do you imagine lifting a trophy with Motherwell. But if we can do it, honestly it would be a genuine dream."

Cadden is looking to harness a community spirit which saw him join with fans to provide backing vocals on cup final song 'Up The Well' with a local band, the Banter Thiefs.

Cadden said: "I have heard it back but I'm not really happy with my performance! But it brings all the people together.

"The fans and the players have genuinely got a good connection. You know the fans by name. You walk out and see the same faces.

"It's a working-class town and if you work your socks off, chase every ball, win tackles, then the fans will forgive a mistake.

"That's what we are going to do, work our socks off and hopefully we have the quality up front to get a goal."

Motherwell twice held Celtic to draws this season and were level at half-time in the Betfred Cup final before losing 2-0 after Cedric Kipre was sent off.

They have beaten six Premiership teams in cup competitions this season and Cadden insists they can make it seven.

"Maybe if you get to one it's the luck of the draw, but getting to two cup finals is no fluke," he said.

"We are a good team and we have an identity now, and speaking to other people, we are hard to play against.

"We are underdogs but we are going to take confidence from running them close, and in the cup final I thought we did well."
