Well show their steel to go third

Motherwell moved to within three points of then-Ladbrokes Premiership leaders Celtic with a 2-0 win over St Mirren at Fir Park.

Well were made to wait until the 39th minute before taking the lead.

James Scott was the man to grab the goal, with the Scotland Under-21 forward scoring a sublime curling shot into the top corner from the edge of the area.

Chris Long then added gloss to the scoreline in the 86th minute to leave St Mirren without a win in six league games.

Sam Cosgrove helped nine-man Aberdeen earn a late 1-1 draw against Hibernian at Pittodrie.

The Dons fell behind in the 48th minute when Ryan Porteous stabbed home from close range and things got worse for the hosts when Curtis Main was sent off moments later.

Aberdeen kept battling, though, and Cosgrove headed home to earn a share of the spoils with four minutes left before Lewis Ferguson was also shown a red card in added time.

Hearts manager Craig Levein has vowed to make wholesale changes following the international break after accusing his players of lacking character.

Levein’s patience finally snapped following the 1-0 defeat against Kilmarnock as he questioned their ability to handle the pressure of performing at Tynecastle.

A first-half strike by Chris Burke was enough to condemn the Jambos to defeat and send them to ninth spot in the Premiership.

An angry Levein said: “Too many of the players felt sorry for themselves. You could tell with their body language and that’s the bit that makes me angry.”
