It was an eventful night down at Fir Park, as title challengers Rangers arrived in North Lanarkshire looking to keep the momentum driving forward in their charge to lift the league title. Motherwell, however, had their own targets as they looked to stretch their unbeaten run at Fir Park to ten matches. With over 11,000 supporters inside the stadium under the lights, the visitors got off to the perfect start in the opening stages through Nicolas Raskin, who opened the scoring. The Belgian became the first opposition player to net at Fir Park since Scott Arfield for Falkirk back in October. But that early setback didn't knock the Steelmen's confidence, and they continued to push forward and threaten in front of goal. Emmanuel Longelo, Tawanda Maswanhise and Elijah Just all had major chances in the match, but when Lukas Fadinger was shown red for his challenge, the game looked like it could get away from Motherwell. With ten players, Motherwell became even stronger in the game, and in the final minute, Celtic loanee Stephen Welsh popped up with a wonderful moment of composure to score his first Motherwell goal on his first appearance since returning to the club. Fir Park was standing up and singing as Motherwell continued to seriously impress.
