Looking to go one step further than 12 months ago, Motherwell had to overcome Kilmarnock at Fir Park if they wanted to be in the hat for the quarter-final draw of the Premier Sports Cup. The visitors arrived at Fir Park having just won in Norway three days prior and made nine changes to their lineup. The Steelmen were still dealing with eight first-team injuries but started the game brightly. Robinson and Miller both had opportunities but the game would change entirely when Stuart Findlay seen red for a second yellow card just before the hour mark. New signings Tawanda Maswanhise and Tony Watt were introduced alongside Moses Ebiye, to push Motherwell over the line. Dominating the ball and creating plenty chances, the Killie backline survived and extra-time was required. It didn't take long for the deadlock to be broken in extra-time, as Ebiye headed home to give his side the advantage. Seeing out the game and ensuring that progression came next for Kettlewell's side, Motherwell can now look forward to a home tie against Dundee United for a spot in the semi-final and a trip to Hampden.
