Events
Match Events

- 5' St. Mirren FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 13' Jamie McGrath has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 13 minutes.
- 18' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Dylan Connolly made 87 appearances and scored 4 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 23' The 27-year-old Allan Campbell has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 28' Both keepers have barely been tested. Motherwell FC and St. Mirren FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
- 30' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Declan Gallagher.
- 35' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 40' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 45' St. Mirren FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 50' It’s high time Steve Robinson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

- 88' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Chris Long suffering a number of foals already.
- 90' The referee calls foul for Lee Erwin. He receives a Yellow card.
- Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 0-1 draw is a fair result on the day.
