Lukas Fadinger looks ahead to Saturday's match against Hearts and believes based off recent meetings, that it'll be a tight match.  Fadinger explains what he's learned from his first season in Scotland.

Jens Berthel Askou addresses the recent run of form, as Motherwell go the league leaders searching for their first win in four matches.  The Motherwell manager also gives his opinion on the split in the Scottish Premiership.

Two teams who have received an abundance of praise for their style of play and approach to matches all season faced off against each other at Fir Park, with Motherwell looking to pick up their first win in three matches with a win over Falkirk.  The last away side to come away from Fir Park was Falkirk, 12 games ago, back in October, and they started in the best way possible to make that back-to-back wins, with Barney Stewart continuing his dream season in the Premiership, scoring inside five minutes. Tawanda Maswanhise was bundled over in the box, but to the bemusement of everyone, referee Duncan Nicholson waved play on, and VAR stayed silent in what would have been a pivotal moment in the match after just seven minutes. Elliot Watt levelled the game with a scintillating volley from outside of the box, but Falkirk restored their advantage before the break. Motherwell tried to bring the game back to level, but when Ibrahim Said was judged to have fouled inside the box, Calvin Miller was presented with the chance to finish the game from 12 yards and made no mistake. Motherwell kept fighting and scored a consolation goal with the last kick of the ball through Maswanhise, but with factors outwith their control combining with a sublime Falkirk display, the Steelmen went down at home for the first time since October.

The madness of the winter months was drawing to a close, and with Motherwell eliminated from the Scottish Cup, there were only two fixtures scheduled for the month. But with the Steelmen able to play their postponed fixture against Dundee, the month started at Dens Park with Motherwell going into the match knowing they could close the gap to those above, as they were the only team out of the top four playing in the Scottish Premiership. A trip to Celtic Park followed next, with March finishing at home against Hibernian. Every game at this stage has significant importance attached to it, and with the finish line in sight, points become even more important.
