St Mirren 0-1 Motherwell: Tony Watt late goal secures Scottish Premiership win

Motherwell can take “big confidence” boost after a late winner at St Mirren ended a run of three Scottish Premiership defeats, says manager Stuart Kettlewell.

Tony Watt struck in the 94th minute to earn victory, netted his first of the season when he turned in Lennon Miller’s free-kick.

“It was a fantastic finish from Tony,” Kettlewell said. “He’s waited patiently.

“That last second goal was a great moment for us. We’ve been waiting two weeks for it. It wasn’t done pretty but it was done effectively.”

Motherwell now move to within two points of fourth-placed Dundee United and two ahead of Dundee in sixth.

St Mirren missed the chance to break into the top six and drop a point behind Tony Docherty’s men.

They will also have to do without the influentual Alex Gogic after he picked up a second yellow card just before the winning goal.
