    David Turnbull wins Football Writers’ award

    David Turnbull has won the Scottish Football Writers’ Association Young Player of the Year award.

    The midfielder has been rewarded for an outstanding breakthrough season in claret and amber, in which he has netted 13 league goals.

    Turnbull beat off competition from Jake Hastie, Kilmarnock’s Greg Taylor and Aberdeen’s Lewis Ferguson to win the award.

    He becomes only the second Motherwell player in history to win the award, following in the footsteps of James McFadden, who won in season 2001/02.

    He will be formally presented with the award at a Scottish Football Writers’ Association event on Sunday, 19 May.

    Motherwell lose at St Johnstone

    Motherwell conceded seventh spot to St Johnstone in the Ladbrokes Premiership, as they lost 2-0 to the Saints in Perth.

    Goals from Scott Tanser and Murray Davidson sealed the hosts’ league finish, and means the Steelmen will finish eighth.

    Stephen Robinson named an unchanged team and the visitors started brightly, controlling possession and carving out half chances to try and get ahead.

    On the half hour mark, the clearest chance of all should have fallen to Motherwell. Tanser handled the ball on the line to block Ariyibi’s goalbound effort, but the referee didn’t give it.

    It would be Tanser who would then put his team ahead. Charles Dunne got on the wrong side of Chris Kane on the right side of the box and bundled the striker over.

    Tanser then picked his spot to make it 1-0, putting the ball into the far right bottom corner just outside of the reach of Mark Gillespie.

    Motherwell went in at the break arguably the better side but that changed in the second half, as the Saints doubled their advantage early on.

    A swift counter attack left Grimshaw with a miracle to perform to somehow stop a cross into the box, having to contend with two St Johnstone players bearing down on goal.

    The defender did his best, but Davidson used all his experience to steer home the second.

    Motherwell changed their shape and brought on attacking reinforcements to try and salvage something, but they ultimately failed to carve out the chances required.
