The build up had been long and exciting going into the Premier Sports Cup semi-final match against St Mirren at Hampden for Motherwell fans, with over 9000 supporters making their way to Glasgow in the hope of seeing their side reach a final for the first time since 2018. But on the pitch, things didn't go according to plan as St Mirren raced away into a two-goal lead, leaving a mountain to climb for Motherwell. In the second-half, the Steelmen held onto the ball for large periods in the St Mirren half but were limited to few openings. Callum Hendry did find the back of the net with seven minutes to go, offering a crumb of encouragement to the fans that a comeback could be on. But that feeling was short-lived, as St Mirren added a third and a fourth before the full-time whistle as Motherwell went all out for an equaliser. A thoroughly disappointing day on the big stage, but the Steelmen have an opportunity to go out on a high ahead of the next international break when they face Aberdeen for the third time this season next weekend.
