It all came down to this. The final match of the Premiership season saw Motherwell travel to Easter Road, knowing a point or a win would guarantee European football and fourth place. Hibernian were aiming for a win that would see them pip the Steelmen to that top four spot. 2000 Motherwell fans made their way to the capital for the final chance to watch the class of 2025/26, and the signs were encouraging. Elijah Just, Regan Charles-Cook and Elliot Watt all had chances to open the scoring, but it was Lukas Fadinger who found the opener with Motherwell deservedly in front at the interval. The second-half saw Motherwell come flying out the traps, with Tawanda Maswanhise and Ibrahim Said going close. Stephen Welsh thought he scored the second before VAR got involved to chop the goal off. Midfielder Watt then was shown a second yellow card with 20 minutes to go as Motherwell looked to get over the line. In the end, it was a comfortable and deserving victory for Jens Berthel Askou's side, who can now look forward to the European Tour commencing in July.
