'''Steven Lawless''' (born 12 April 1991) is a [Scottish](/source/Scottish_people) professional [footballer](/source/Association_football) who plays as a [winger](/source/Midfield_(association_football)) for [Scottish League Two](/source/Scottish_League_Two) club [The Spartans](/source/The_Spartans_F.C.).
Lawless, who is a product of [Motherwell](/source/Motherwell_F.C.)'s youth system, started his professional career at [Fir Park](/source/Fir_Park).

Following an extended loan period at Rovers, Lawless joined [Partick Thistle](/source/Partick_Thistle_F.C.) in 2012, where he played a significant part in helping Thistle to achieve promotion to the Scottish Premiership in 2013.
