Match Report

TTA report

Weakened by a virus and injuries, a creditable point but it was a poor game. Motherwell hit the post (26), Rough dived to his right to save a penalty then they wasted a good chance a min later. The game came to life (75) with Motherwell's goal but Gibson shot in the equaliser (76).
