Goals from Robbie Garcia, Bevis Mugabi, Jack Aitchison and a double from Stuart McKinstry secured a comfortable win at Whitton Park.
McKinstry opened the scoring after 11 minutes after a speculative shot from distance beat the keeper.
The lead was then doubled in the 37th minute when Bevis Mugabi collected the ball 25 yards out and unleashed an unstoppable effort into the top corner.
Minutes later the Steelmen had a third when Jack Aitchison fired home from close range
Alan Archibald’s side extended their lead ten minutes into the second half. Young full-back Robbie Garcia got forward and finished from just inside the area.
The icing was put on the cake with ten to go after Olly Whyte and Stuart McKinstry linked up well on the edge of the box and the winger dispatched to get his second of the game.

The Story of the Match
The first match after the split and it’s a big one.
Motherwell take on Kilmarnock who sit in the play-off spot, level on points with Dundee United. A win for either side would be vital, with the Steelmen only six points above Saturday’s opponents.
Stuart Kettlewell’s men will take confidence from their last game, taking a point from Celtic Park, while Killie will be buoyed by their first away win of the season last week, beating top-six finishing St Mirren.
The previous two matches between the two side have ended as a draw, with Kilmarnock coming from two goals down the last time out at Fir Park.
Women
2022/23 women’s player of the year vote
Monday 01 May 2023
It’s time to cast your vote for the player of the year 2022/23.
Six candidates are up for nomination.
Amy Anderson, Lauren Doran-Barr, Gill Inglis, Kaela McDonald-Nguah, Lucy Ronald and Chelsie Watson stand a chance to win the award.
Motherwell put their Hampden blues behind them after securing their fourth successive league victory over Aberdeen at a rainswept Balmoral Stadium.
Tiree Burchill broke the deadlock on the stroke of half-time with a composed finish from distance, with Louisa Boyes also netting in the second half to ensure all three points returned to Lanarkshire.
Manager, Paul Brownlie made two changes from the side that suffered a tough Scottish Cup Semi-Final exit at the hands of Rangers last weekend.
Carla Boyce and Georgie Rafferty both dropped to the bench, with Emma Lawton and Louisa Boyes returning to the starting XI.
The unpredictable weather conditions proved difficult in the opening phases of play, as the visitors struggled to establish a rhythm to their game.
The hosts took full advantage, recording the first notable opportunity of the game.
Millie Urquhart’s drilled effort from the right flashed towards Emily Mutch in goal, but the Motherwell stopper reacted well to parry her effort onto the crossbar.
Mutch was soon called into action again minutes later.
Hannah Stewart’s cross from the right sailed invitingly into the path of Francesca Ogilvie at the edge of the box, but Mutch was on hand to deny the midfielder with another smart stop.
On the stroke of half-time, Motherwell broke the deadlock.
Burchill received the ball 25-yards from goal, and the striker shifted the ball onto her stronger right foot before cooly dispatching the powerful strike beyond the reach of the Dons keeper.
As the hour mark approached, the women of steel doubled their advantage.
Aberdeen cheaply conceded possession within their own penalty area, and Boyes capitalised on the hosts indecision, rifling a composed finish high into the roof of the net.
Despite a flurry of late Aberdeen pressure, the women of steel stood resolute to extend their unbeaten league run to seven games.
Paul Brownlie’s side will now turn their attention to a midweek visit from local rivals Hamilton in the fourth Lanarkshire derby of the season.

With our 2022/23 campaign almost at an end, I am full of excitement and optimism for next season.
Although I have only been in charge since February, I am well aware of the tricky times and tough moments that have occurred this past year.
When I first came in, I sat down with every player and member of staff. I simply stated, ‘if anyone in here isn’t with me or won’t give me everything they’ve got, put your hand up now.’ Everyone kept their hands down.
I think the full team was on a lull due to previous results and they felt they had let people down. However, since that moment, what the players have given me is nothing short of incredible. They’ve shown resilience and tried to right a few wrongs.
That goes for you too, the supporters, who have demonstrated remarkable levels of support, resilience, colour and noise since I arrived.
A moment that sticks out for me, is Kilmarnock away. It was my first game as permanent manager and, as I’m sure you’ll all remember, Callum Slattery knocked in a free-kick in stoppage time to earn us a valuable point.
Although the goal was a special moment, what stood out to me more was, almost a third of our season ticket holders were in that away stand, backing the team, even when we went a goal down. To have those kind of numbers travelling on the road, is outstanding.
I can only thank every single one of you, who have supported from within the stadium, or from afar, as I know that backing seriously helps the players on a match day.
That’s why your support has been so important, it has been a major factor in us picking up valuable points at home and on the road.
Although results and performances have improved, in my eyes, we haven’t achieved anything yet. The staff here are tirelessly working behind the scenes to build a successful future for this club and we need you with us to help us reach our goals and aspirations.
If we work hard and show ourselves in the correct fashion on the pitch, I know you will get behind us. I speak to the players constantly about being together, but one thing that’s for sure, you are on this journey with us.
I want to offer my profound thanks to everyone and I hope you can continue to back the lads next season as we look to push on to a successful campaign together.
Stuart Kettlewell
Manager
