After exerting a lot of energy to register a 2-0 win over Celtic just four days ago, 2026 started at Fir Park for Motherwell as they looked to kick on again against St Mirren. Looking to extend their unbeaten run at Fir Park to seven games, Motherwell lined up on the front foot as they looked for an early breakthrough. Tawanda Maswanhise returned from international duty and made an instant impact, scoring his 14th goal of the season in the first-half. Motherwell's authority on the match didn't lessen in the second period, with Elliot Watt converting from the edge of the box to make it 2-0. Another clean sheet, another win: Jens Berthel Askou's side strengthened their hold on fourth place as they travel to Hibernian, who are two points behind, next weekend.
