One year ago today, Motherwell blew Ross County away under the Fir Park lights, cruising to a 5-0 thumping where the home support were introduced to Jack Vale.

After a difficult week at the football club, the Motherwell players were facing one of the toughest challenges of the league season, coming up against Champions Celtic. With interim manager Stephen Frail saying the players owed it to themselves and the fans to put in a battling performance, all game plans went out the window after just 49 seconds, when Daizen Maeda opened the scoring for the visitors. After the worst possible start, the Steelmen regrouped and battled their way back into the game. Luke Armstrong, having been handed his first start, found the back of the net for the first time in claret and amber just after 20 minutes. Celtic went back ahead moments later through Adam Idah, and although Motherwell stayed in the game right until stoppage time, the Champions eventually applied the icing on the cake with the last kick of the ball to make it 3-1. With a fortnight between this game and the next, a reset, recovery, and the small task of finding a new manager will all occur prior to Ross County's arrival on the 15 February.
