Motherwell aim to end a winless run at Fir Park stretching back over three years when they host St Mirren in the Premiership on Saturday. The Steelmen halted a six-game losing streak with a 2-2 draw at St Johnstone on Wednesday, a result that leaves them 10th in the table with nine points from 11 matches.
Their form at home has been a particular concern. The last league victory in front of their own fans was a 1-0 win over St Mirren in September 2023, secured by a Scott Tanser goal. Since then, the team has struggled to turn draws into wins on their own patch. They sit just two points above the relegation playoff spot, having scored 13 goals but conceded 20 this season.
Building on a draw
The midweek point at McDiarmid Park was a step forward. Ibrahim Said and Tawanda Maswanhise found the net for Motherwell, though a stoppage-time equaliser from Josh Campbell denied them all three points. That result snapped a miserable sequence of defeats to Rangers, Aberdeen, Dundee, Celtic, Kilmarnock and Hearts. Manager Stuart Kettlewell will hope the fight shown in Perth can translate into a more resilient performance back at Fir Park.
St Mirren, currently seventh, arrive having shared a six-goal thriller with Motherwell in August. The Paisley side fought back from 2-0 down to lead 3-2 before Jardell Kanga's late strike earned a 3-3 draw. Motherwell's only two league wins this term came away to Hibernian on the opening day and at home to Dundee United in early September.
Match details confirmed
Don Robertson will referee the 3pm kick-off at Fir Park, with Chris Rae and Kevin Buchanan as assistants. Abbie Hendry is the fourth official and Steven McLean will be on VAR duty. Tickets are priced at £27 for adults, with concessions and junior rates available, and are on sale through Motherwell's official online platform. Turnstiles 5 and 6 in the Tommy McLean Stand Upper Tier will open for away fans at 2pm.
Supporters are reminded that flags must carry a fire certificate and that balaclavas, face coverings and pyrotechnics are prohibited. The match is available for international subscribers on St Mirren TV, while UK-based fans can access audio commentary. Motherwell's next assignment after this is a trip to face Rangers on November 7. The team returns to Fir Park on Saturday aiming to finally give the home crowd a league victory to celebrate.
