Premiership status was secured last week, but Motherwell travelled to Edinburgh looking to close the season out strongly.

After a quiet start to proceedings, Hearts got themselves ahead through skipper Lawrence Shankland. Callum Slattery quickly responded finding the back of the net, but VAR controversy followed, with the referee ruling the goal out for offside.

Shankland added a second, with Alan Forrest quickly following up with a third in the second half, putting the game beyond the Steelmen.

Motherwell’s Fortunes

Motherwell lost out 3-0 on Saturday against Hearts, meaning there’s three clubs in contention to finish seventh. Only two points separates two points Hearts, Motherwell and Kilmarnock.

The Steelmen will be hoping to register their first win over Kilmarnock in the league this season, with the only win coming in the Premier Sports Cup back in September.

Opposition Report

Kilmarnock will be coming into this game full of confidence having won four of their last five matches. That loss came against Champions Celtic four games ago.

Those results have pulled Kilmarnock away from the relegation play off spots and now have aspirations of finishing seventh. Bruce Anderson is now on 11 goals for the season in all competition, as he continues to be Killie’s leading marksman.

It transpired to be an afternoon of reflection for the women of steel, as visitors Hearts punished Motherwell’s lack of conviction in the final third. 

Former Motherwell starlet Kayla Jardine reintroduced herself to the K-Park faithful, netting against her former side with a precise header guided into the bottom-left corner. Less than a minute later, Hearts had a second in similar circumstances, with an enticing delivery into the box being directed onto the Motherwell crossbar before unfortunately ricocheting off of the back of Emily Mutch before nestling into the Motherwell goal.

Head Coach Paul Brownlie made four changes from the side that were defeated by title-chasers Rangers at Broadwood Stadium last weekend. Emily Mutch returned between the sticks, with striker Eilidh Austin, Shannon Leishman, and Sophie Black all returning to the starting Xi. Skipper Gill Inglis also returned to the matchday squad following a recent spell sidelined with injury.

Motherwell started firmly on the front foot, with countless opportunities on goal pinning the visitors deep into their own penalty area. Louisa Boyes’ swirling right-footed effort rattled the far post, with Bailley Collins also denied after going one-on-one with the Hearts stopper.

The midfielder then curled a hopeful strike moments later that fell agonisingly wide of the target.

Motherwell continued to dominate the majority of the first-half, but the visitors soon capitalised on Motherwell’s frustrations in the final third.

Monica Forsyth chipped a perfectly-weighted delivery from the left-flank across the Motherwell penalty area, and former Motherwell midfielder Kayla Jardine calmly dispatched a well-placed header into the bottom-left corner. Less than a minute later, Hearts had a second, with a similar delivery causing the Motherwell backline problems, and Hearts fortunately found the target after a deflection off the back of goalkeeper Emily Mutch.

Two-goals behind at the break after controlling much of the opening 45-minutes, Motherwell were forced to alter formation and try to chase the game. Hearts continued to press, and soon took full control of the contest. Striker Bailey Hutchinson converted a third moments into the second-half, with strike partner Olufolasade Adamolekun making it four before the hour-mark. Six-minutes later, Addison Handley calmly placed her strike into the bottom-right corner from around 12-yards out to make it five. After teeing up Jardine for the opening goal, Forsyth soon added her name to the scoresheet after coasting through the Motherwell backline, and placing her attempt under the on-rushing Emily Mutch.

Motherwell will have to quickly regroup before facing Glasgow City in the final home matchday at K-Park on Wednesday evening.

Motherwell’s bid to make it three consecutive wins ended with a 3-0 defeat to Hearts at Tynecastle. 

After the Steelmen secured their place in the top-flight for a 41st consecutive season last weekend, the focus swiftly turned to sealing a seventh-placed spot in the Premiership table.

Motherwell started brightly, with Callum Slattery drilling the most enticing opportunity of the half narrowly over the Hearts crossbar. 

The hosts soon took the lead shortly after the half-hour mark. Shankland was afforded far too much space in the outskirts of the Motherwell penalty area, and the Scottish talisman drove forward and capitalised with a powerful low shot beyond the reach of Aston Oxborough.

The Steelmen then found themselves level after an excellent interchange of play fell kindly to Callum Slattery at the edge of the box, with the Englishman rifling a brilliant half-volley into the bottom-left corner. The visitors celebrations were short-lived, as a seemingly never-ending VAR check eventually came to the conclusion that Dan Casey blocked the view of Ryan Fulton, despite the goalkeeper having a full unobstructed view as Slattery stuck the ball.

Heading into the second-half one-behind instead of level, Motherwell were forced to chase the game, and Hearts took full advantage. Just as you began to wonder if Michael Wimmer’s side could come from behind for a third successive game, all hope was gone on the hour mark when the home side added a quick-fire double.

An inviting delivery across the face of goal was prodded in by Lawrence Shankland for his second of the game and moments later, Alan Forrest drilled home the rebound following a decent stop from Aston Oxborough.

Motherwell will return to action midweek, when they welcome Kilmarnock in the final matchday at Fir Park of the 2024/25 Premiership season.

Michael Wimmer reacts to the 3-0 defeat to Hearts at Tynecastle.

As we enter the final three games, manager Michael Wimmer has praised the connection that has been built between the fans and club.

After nine games in charge, Wimmer boasts a record of four wins and two defeats. In that time, only four sides have collected more points.

Last week against Dundee, the team were greeted by a group of supporters off the bus at Fir Park to celebrate securing Scottish top-flight football for the 41st consecutive season.

“It’s always a good moment if you come back and fans are happy,” Michael Wimmer said at Thursday’s press conference.

“We’re also proud to get out of the coach, and the fans are waiting. It shows that we’re going in the right direction. I’m very happy.

“It’s very important at smaller clubs to have a togetherness. The fans, team and management. If you work hard together and fight and speak but stay together, it’s good. If we finish the season as strong as possible, we will have energy we can bring to pre-season.

“It’s clear what we need. I now understand the expectations from the fans, and now I’m better prepared for next season.”

There are a very limited tickets available for penultimate away day of the season to Tynecastle.
