Semi-final rematch ends in easy victory for Steelmen
St Mirren have followed up a five-game unbeaten run with back-to-back defeats as Motherwell avenged their League Cup semifinal loss.
Goals from Tawanda Maswanhise and Elliot Watt ensured a comfortable fourth Premiership win in six for the inform Steelmen.
There were few redeeming features for Saints who were very much second-best throughout Saturday's contest at Fir Park.
Injuries have mounted up and options appear to be limited for Buddies manager Stephen Robinson who will be hoping to get back on track at rock-bottom Livingston tomorrow evening.
The Northern Irishman takes his 10th-placed team to West Lothian five points ahead of Kilmarnock, in the relegation playoff spot, and nine clear of the Lions.
And with this being one of two games in hand on Killie and ninth-placed Dundee, it feels like an important moment in the campaign.
Saints made two changes to the side that started the 2-1 defeat to Rangers at Ibrox.
