Michael Wimmer spoke before this match about how he wanted the perfect send off for the supporters, as Motherwell played their final home match of the league season against Kilmarnock.  On a perfect summers evening, the Steelmen were on track to reach their target as Robbie Deas was shown a red card before the half hour mark. Luke Armstrong was brought off the bench at the half time interval and he would find the back of the net after Motherwell had been a constant threat throughout the second half. Callum Slattery completed a stunning team goal shortly afterwards, before Armstrong added a third. The players showed their appreciation following the full time whistle as they made their way around the stands to thank supporters. The perfect end to the perfect night, but Motherwell have one final task ahead of them. A trip to face to Ross County on Sunday.

Midfielder Tom Sparrow believes the security of extending his contract a couple of months ago will do him the world of good going into the 2025/26 season.  Sparrow explains that the manager has spoken about how he can add more goals to his game, and that he is delighted to see that extra work paying off on the pitch.

Manager Michael Wimmer is grateful for all the supporters who will be making the journey up to Dingwall on Sunday, and believes the team owes those fans a strong performance.  Wimmer is aware Ross County will be fighting for their lives and will prepare his team accordingly.

Michael Wimmer has said the team have looked at what went wrong against Kilmarnock and that everyone is keen to rectify those errors.  Kilmarnock visit Fir Park tomorrow night and the Motherwell manager is keen to impress in front of the supporters.

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 are in midweek action against Kilmarnock on Wednesday night, as they look to go out on a positive note in front of the home crowd.

Full Match Replay Hearts v Motherwell

Michael Wimmer was pleased to secure Motherwell's Premiership status last weekend against Dundee, but believes motivation will not be low for the players going into the final three games of the season.  The Motherwell boss has been pleased with the connection he has built with the supporters so far, and believes it will be hugely important that that remains intact going into next season.

Aston Oxborough was pleased to given his first start since January at the weekend against Dundee. Oxborough has been pleased with his contribution pre-injury but is now fully focused going into the remaining games.  The Motherwell number one has clarity having signed a new deal earlier in the season, which allows him to focus on the football.

Motherwell were on the cusp of securing their Premiership status for the 2025/26 season when they travelled to Dundee, but when the hosts found the back of the net in the first-half, the task was made more difficult. When Dundee stunned the Steelmen with a second on the stroke of half-time, the game looked like it could have gotten away. VAR intervened to correctly rule the goal for offside in the build-up, and the deficit would remain at one. Tawanda Maswanhise would be introduced into the action during the interval, and his impact was almost immediate. With Motherwell in the ascendancy, Tom Sparrow levelled the game and put Dundee firmly on the back foot. Johnny Koutroumbis was given his marching orders, however, with ten minutes remaining, which could have put the spark out for Michael Wimmer's side. However, it didn't slow them down. Dan Casey's header came off the bar, and Ewan Wilson watched the keeper save his effort. It was beginning to look like it wouldn't be their day and the point would be a good result. But in the dying moments, Dom Thompson flighted a high cross ball into the area, and Maswanhise leaped highest and powered a header home, sparking wild celebrations. With Hearts winning, Motherwell had guaranteed their spot in the Premiership next season. Their 41st consecutive season is Scotland's Premier Division.
