Alan Gow said he would not lose sleep over being branded a "disgrace" by Swindon on the day he completed his move to Motherwell.

Swindon director Jeremy Wray accused the 27-year-old of only being interested in money after claiming he asked for more cash at the last minute after they thought terms had been agreed.

However, Gow hit back at those claims and is adamant he never agreed any deal with the League One club.

He said: "I heard that they had a bit of a go at me but I never agreed to go to Swindon, I never agreed any terms.

"I said I would go down and have a look at the place, I went down and I wasn't happy with the deal.

"I came back home and that's life.

"I never agreed to go to the club in the first place so it's up to them what they want to write in the press.

"I'm sure it won't affect me, I'll still sleep well tonight."

Gow was also targeted by St Mirren and linked with Kilmarnock before signing an initial six-month contract with Motherwell after passing a medical earlier today.

"It's good to sort my future out and hopefully I can get back playing as soon as possible," he said.

"I've just been keeping myself fit and waiting to sign somewhere eventually. I'm just looking forward to playing now.

"I spoke to a few clubs. But I've probably made a few moves that I shouldn't have and this time I wanted to take my time making a decision and find somewhere that suited me."

Gow began his career with local club Clydebank before spells with Airdrie and Falkirk eventually led to a dream move to Rangers.

However, he made just two cup appearances during his spell with the Glasgow giants and went out on loan to Blackpool and Norwich.

A move to Plymouth followed but he was released in the summer after spending the second half of the season farmed out to Hibernian.

Despite a frustrating few years, Gow insists he has no regrets about the path his career has taken.

"I started off playing for Clydebank and never really did much before so everything I've done has been a great achievement for me," he said.

"I'm never going to complain about things that didn't work out.

"I've no regrets, I would still make the same moves I made before."

As for his short-term deal at Motherwell, he admitted: "I don't really know where it can take me.

"I'll just take one step at a time.

"I need to come back and play and show everybody that I can be fit for a season at least.

"I've signed a six-month contract and I need to prove to the management that I can get myself into the team and stay there."
