The Steelmen travelled west to Paisley hoping to end a three-game losing run. 

In a game that was played in difficult windy conditions, chances were few and far between in the first-half. However, in the second-half, Motherwell grew into the game and started to control the ball.

Steve Seddon was unlucky not to open the scoring after a lovely, flowing team move. Apostolos Stamatelopoulos went through 1v1 but saw his dinked effort saved and cleared off the line.

As the game neared its conclusion, St Mirren defender Alex Gogic was shown a second yellow card for a trip on Moses Ebiye. Skipper Lennon Miller delivered an inch-perfect ball for Tony Watt to knock in his first goal since returning to Fir Park.

The goal was the last action of the game, with Motherwell closing the gap to fourth-placed Dundee United, who they play next.

Motherwell’s attacking prowess shone through, as seven different goalscorers earned their place on the scoresheet, with Rangers loanee Sophie Black curling home a magnificent opener, before Bailley Collins equally matched her teammates strike through an unstoppable half-volley.

Louisa Boyes continued her exceptional goalscoring run, placing a third from the edge of the box to extend the visitors advantage in the second-half, with defender Jenna Penman rifling home an incredible fourth to firmly place the women of steel into the ascendency.

Substitute Lucy Barclay skilfully evaded her marker to convert from close-range for Motherwell’s fifth, with fellow second-half addition Sienna McGoldrick bulleting a strike from distance into the top-right corner for the sixth of the afternoon.

The thoughts of Stuart Kettlewell on a dramatic late win over St Mirren in Paisley.

In partnership with the Daily Mile, 100 children from Knowetop Primary and Fir Park School ran laps of the pitch at Motherwell FC’s Fir Park Stadium this morning.

The Daily Mile is simple and free. The aim is to get children fit for life and fit for learning by encouraging them to run or jog for 15 minutes every day in their schools or nurseries. It is a physical activity which promotes social, emotional and mental health and wellbeing, as well as fitness.

There were only two clubs in the UK, Manchester United and Motherwell, who participated in 2024. The Daily Mile are looking to expand the programme in the years to come.

It takes place outside in the fresh air during the school day at a time of the teacher’s choosing. Children run in their school clothes and no special kit or equipment is required.

The children taking part took part in a warm up at the Fir Park Training Centre before making their way trackside. When they reach the start point, they were surprised by the Motherwell first-team squad, who were there to cheer the children on.

“We’re delighted to be working with Motherwell Football Club Community Trust this year to deliver the Santa Run at the stadium,” Scottish National Programme Manager Tom Lambert said.

“We are working with a number of partners across the UK to embed the Daily Mile in the school curriculum.”

Your support is greatly appreciated, and we wish everyone a safe journey to Paisley.

Steve Seddon is thankful for getting back to the action so quickly following Wednesday night’s game against Dundee, but has learned very quickly that there are no easy games in the Scottish Premiership.

He says that whilst the players go out looking to win each game, it doesn’t always work out that way and they have to find a way of turning that around. Seddon remains calm going into tomorrow’s game and draws comparison with West Ham.

Stuart Kettlewell reflects on the frustrations of Wednesday night’s game against Dundee. The Motherwell manager was annoyed with his side conceding three goals in seven minutes, and says his team take accountability for that. 

Having put the controversial refereeing decision behind him after dialogue with the head of referees, Kettlewell has asked for a healthy support on Saturday against St Mirren, as he feels it can make a difference for the players’ confidence.

In the torrential December rain, Motherwell headed to Dens Park to take on Dundee, looking to end a two-game losing run. With four changes to the side, the early signs were bright, with Lennon Miller and Apostolos Stamatelopoulos going close in the early stages. 

However, the good work early doors was undone when Dundee took the lead, but Stamatelopoulos got his second of the season just minutes later to level the game.

Motherwell had their tails up, and the chances kept coming. They couldn’t get ahead, however, and then the game changed completely. With Kofi Balmer down with a head knock, the referee played on as Dundee hit on the break. They subsequently scored, to the dismay of Motherwell players and staff.

The following seven minutes would be a disaster for the Steelmen, conceding a third and fourth, killing the game off.

In the latter stages, Steve Seddon, Moses Ebiye, and Miller all went close, but in the end, the game was spun on its head in controversial fashion.
