See the best of the action as Motherwell keep in touch of the top six with an emphatic victory over St Johnstone in the Ladbrokes Premiership.

Goal scorers Elliott Frear, David Turnbull and Richard Tait speak as Motherwell keep top six hopes alive with a win over St Johnstone.

Stephen Robinson says his Motherwell side deserve to still be in top six reckoning after victory over St Johnstone.

The boss praised his side’s patience, before inspiring second half play saw the team’s quality shine through in the end.

Motherwell kept their top six dreams going with an emphatic 3-0 victory over St Johnstone.

Second half goals from Elliott Frear, David Turnbull and Richard Tait sealed all three points, keeping the Steelmen within five points of Hibernian with two games to go.

A difficult first half saw the hosts have plenty of the ball, but struggle to break down a Saints defence which sat in and stood firm.

Chris Kane had a glorious chance early on for the visitors, before they were given a penalty for a foul which was hotly contested.

With anger rising, Mark Gillespie got down early to keep out Liam Craig’s spot kick effort to keep his clean sheet.

The second half saw a scrappy opening 20 minutes, before the introductions of Frear and the returning Chris Cadden sparked Motherwell’s attacking play to life.

Dunne’s pass into Main’s feet saw the big striker hold off his marker, spin and play in Frear, who curled his first-time effort into the far corner of the net.

Ten minutes later, it was two. Campbell was the creator, laying in Turnbull who played a tidy finish past Zander Clark.

Then, in stoppage time, skipper Richard Tait cut in from the left side and placed a bouncing shot into the far right corner of the net.

Richard Tait says there’s no reason Motherwell can’t achieve the goal of reaching the top six of the Ladbrokes Premiership table.

A win is needed for the Steelmen against St Johnstone on Saturday afternoon, as both sides fight to catch Hibernian in sixth spot.

Stephen Robinson has urged his Motherwell team to end their top six battle with St Johnstone with “no regrets”, as they chase a win to stay in the reckoning in the Ladbrokes Premiership’s top half.

Adam Livingstone has signed a new contract with the club.

The youth academy product, who made his debut for his boyhood heroes back in May 2017, has extended his deal until the summer of 2020.

The 21-year-old left back has gone on to make a further three appearances to date and manager Stephen Robinson hopes 2019/20 will be his breakthrough season.

“Adam is a player with a lot of raw talent and potential,” he said.

“We’ve asked a lot of him in terms of his football on and off the park, and to his credit, he has embraced that and deserves his new deal.

“It’s now up to him to make that left back position his own, the same way Allan Campbell, David Turnbull and Jake Hastie have cemented their spot in the team. I certainly believe he has it in him.”

Livingstone spent a short spell on loan at League One side East Fife last season and is looking forward to the challenge of joining his fellow youngsters in the Fir Park first team.

“I am delighted to have extended my contract at a club,” he said.

“The manager has been great with me. He’s been very clear about what I need to do and has even taken his own personal time to try and help improve my game.

“I am desperate to be a success here, My family and I have all been lifelong supporters of the club, and all my focus is now establishing myself.”

Motherwell host St Johnstone on Saturday, 30 March, as the two teams fight it out to push towards the Ladbrokes Premiership’s top six.
