- 12' Liam Grimshaw is having his name booked by the referee on 12.
- 17' Stephen McGinn has been relatively quiet despite scoring 2 goals in his last 302 appearances.
- 22' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 27' Motherwell FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.

- 78' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
