Match Report

TTA report

Motherwell were flattered by their 2-goal lead at half-time and once Ness headed in to reduce the lead (63) the game turned. Miller equalised (66) then Bain finished off some brilliant forward play (75). “A virile display of high-grade football” (GH). Defeat dealt a severe blow to Motherwell's title hopes.
