It was nine games unbeaten for Motherwell as they headed back to Dens Park to play their rearranged match against Dundee.  Near 1400 Motherwell fans made the trip in the sunshine to see if the Steelmen could extend their run to ten games unbeaten. But facing off against a Dundee side on the up under Stephen Pressley, it was never going to be an easy afternoon. Tawanda Maswanhise and Lukas Fadinger went close to opening the scoring, but it was the hosts who opened the scoring in the first-half. Now with something to hang onto, Dundee defended their penalty box robustly, and it would take some magic from Callum Slattery to level the game as we entered the latter stages. But being level didn't last long, with Dundee scoring minutes later to retake the advantage and eventually inflict Motherwell's fourth league defeat of the season. The travelling crowd were full of life at full time, giving the players and staff plenty of encouragement despite the defeat. And with a trip to Celtic up next, the stakes couldn't be higher.

Jens Berthel Askou reacts to Dundee defeat.

Another month, another five games. February was jam-packed as the Steelmen continued to catch the headlines.  Action against Rangers, Aberdeen, St Mirren and Dundee United resulted in another successful month. But the mindset doesn't change, and as Tawanda Maswanhise and Elliot Watt say, we'll let everyone else do the talking off the pitch. We will remain focused and ignore the noise.

Emmanuel Longelo and his Motherwell teammates are delighted to be receiving praise from external outlets, but insists the work must continue until the end of the season so they can finish the job.  The defender believes the full team must receive credit for what they have achieved to this point.

Jens Berthel Askou says his Motherwell side are feeling the connection with supporters, and that away performances this season so far have warranted a bigger return of points.  The Motherwell manager discusses the positive impact of securing top-six will have on the club, and how it helps for future planning.

Chairman Kyrk Macmillan's provides an update following the club's AGM last week. The Chairman discusses ticket initiatives, training ground updates, Fir Park study, transfer strategy and more.

Motherwell moved closer to the teams about with a comfortable 2-0 win over Dundee United. Tawanda Maswanhise scored a brace either side of half-time to the delight of the 7000 Motherwell fans at Fir Park.  As a result of the win, they made it 12 games unbeaten in ML1. The clean sheet was their 21st of the season, making that a new club record.

The manager speaks about beating Dundee United 2-0 at Fir Park, as his side reach 53 points in the Scottish Premiership.

Calum Ward speaks about his and team's enjoyment of playing at home, and the importance the home form has been this season. Ward kept another clean sheet against St Mirren last weekend, taking the count to 20 in all competitions for the team, matching the club record. Ward explains how they have managed to that and the importance of his teammates.

Manager Jens Berthel Askou says Dundee United will be giving it everything they've got this weekend, as Jim Goodwin's side look to hunt down a spot in the top-six.  The boss is quizzed on title race claims, staying humble, Callum Slattery's involvement in the red card last weekend and team news ahead of Saturday's match in the William Hill Premiership.

There was no getting away from the Scottish Cup disappointment last time out, but this team has shown already that it knows exactly how to respond to a setback.  St Mirren were the source of our other heartbreak this season, and Jens Berthel Askou said there was an added incentive to get more revenge on the Paisley side for the Hampden defeat in November. In true Motherwell style this season, the team set out on their quest to reach 50 points and achieved it in style. Elijah Just, Tawanda Maswanhise, Ibrahim Said, Emmanuel Longelo and Eythor Bjørgolfsson all found the back of the net in a 5-0 hammering of St Mirren in a rain-soaked Paisley, becoming one of just five non-Old Firm team to win by five goals in the top-flight. In the biggest margin of victory in the Scottish Premiership this season, Motherwell all but secured their top-six status for the season and closed the gap to Celtic to just three points. Keeping their 20th clean sheet of the season, equalling the club record with 11 games left to play, means that optimism and expectations have never been higher going into the most crucial part of the season.

Jens Berthel Askou gives his thoughts on thrashing St Mirren in Paisley.
