The Buddies maintained the feel-good factor in Paisley with a 1-0 victory to advance to the quarter-finals of the Viaplay Cup.
ST MIRREN booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Viaplay Cup thanks to a hard-fought, narrow victory over Motherwell at the SMiSA Stadium.
Organisation and discipline is the name of the game for both these teams, so perhaps it should have come as little surprise that the match got off to an attritional start. Every tackle and header was hard-fought and seemingly instantaneous, and no one was afforded a moment’s peace on the ball as the momentum shifted hither and yon.
Robinson’s men finished the first half on the front foot and could have been ahead by more, with Keanu Baccus demonstrating a useful knack of arriving at the edge of the box at just the right time more than once. They were enjoying more of the ball than their opponents and were using it much better – surely it was only a matter of time until they extended their lead.
Lennon Miller, the promising teen playmaker who has impressed during so far this term, came off the bench shortly before the hour mark in an attempt to add some creativity to the midfield. Almost instantly, Motherwell started asking some awkward questions of their opponents.
