There was no getting away from the Scottish Cup disappointment last time out, but this team has shown already that it knows exactly how to respond to a setback. St Mirren were the source of our other heartbreak this season, and Jens Berthel Askou said there was an added incentive to get more revenge on the Paisley side for the Hampden defeat in November. In true Motherwell style this season, the team set out on their quest to reach 50 points and achieved it in style. Elijah Just, Tawanda Maswanhise, Ibrahim Said, Emmanuel Longelo and Eythor Bjørgolfsson all found the back of the net in a 5-0 hammering of St Mirren in a rain-soaked Paisley, becoming one of just five non-Old Firm team to win by five goals in the top-flight. In the biggest margin of victory in the Scottish Premiership this season, Motherwell all but secured their top-six status for the season and closed the gap to Celtic to just three points. Keeping their 20th clean sheet of the season, equalling the club record with 11 games left to play, means that optimism and expectations have never been higher going into the most crucial part of the season.
