IT isn’t often over the years that a match between Motherwell and St Mirren could be billed as something of a ‘top of the table clash’...
Scott Tanser's brilliant volley helped St Mirren edge Motherwell in a tight affair at Fir Park.
Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell, so impressive in dragging his club up by the bootstraps since taking over in February, said it was the best performance his team had produced since he took the reins. Certainly, that is a view held by Saints goalscorer Tanser, who revealed the St Mirren players see themselves as real contenders for third place.
“People look at us - we finished top six last season - and I still don’t think they accept we should be pushing for top six. “We all dig in for each other and that’s what you need to pick up those points if you want to be in the top six or pushing for Europe at the end of the season.Tanser himself was delighted to get his first goal in almost two years, and he is pleased to have put a difficult spell behind him away from football – with the help of his manager - that had been detrimental to his game.“I had quite a lot going on.
The keeper pulled off a miraculous fingertip save late on to deny Motherwell substitute Georgie Gent a debut goal, the left-back seeing his effort somehow diverted onto the underside of the crossbar.
