Full time | Motherwell 1–2 Ross County (Foley; Vigurs, Gardyne)
Full time: Motherwell 1–2 Ross County. The Staggies are safe!
Three minutes of added time
74' Looks like a bit of danger for County to deal with before Tony Watt trips over the ball, but the clearance goes straight to Steven Lawless whose shot is well off-target.
65' Gardyne scores County's second
That is a brilliant turnaround for Ross County!
Michael Gardyne has put them in front after getting played through by Jordan White, and he coolly took his chance when one-on-one with Liam Kelly.
Can the Staggies hold on now and seal 10th place?
49' Vigurs levels for the Staggies
Ross County are back on level terms thanks to their captain, Iain Vigurs!
It was a good move to bring the ball into the Motherwell half, with Naismith and Spittal involved before Vigurs took control.
He played a one-two with Kelly, advancing to the edge of the box, before curling it into the top corner of the net.
The second half is under way!
Half time: Motherwell 1–0 Ross County
45' Gardyne links up well with Lakin and Vigurs down the left flank, but after moving into the box and bearing down on goal he misses the target.
40' Tremarco, who has just come back from injury to play this afternoon, has gone down with an issue and will have to come off. Charlie Lakin, who scored the winner after coming on at left back midweek, will replace him.
16' Watson comes close to scoring after connecting with Spittal's corner, but his seemingly goalbound header is blocked by Gardyne, who is in an offside position.
12' Blair Spittal's crossing looks like it can cause Motherwell problems, and one of those balls into the middle has just resulted in White swinging his boot at the ball – only to see it hammer the top of the crossbar and go over.
6' Motherwell take the lead
It is not the start Ross County would have wanted, as they have fallen behind to a scrappy opener.
O'Hara sent the ball low across the face of goal from the right, and it took a couple of touches on it's way through to Foley, who eventually managed to wrong-foot Laidlaw and find the net.
4' County get a chance from a set piece themselves, but Spittal is further out with this one and his curling shot is off target. Magloire booked in that incident to follow up Vigurs' yellow card for the earlier foul.
2' Motherwell get the first chance of the game as Iain Vigurs takes Christopher Long down just outside the County box. Long himself steps up to take it, but fires his effort into the wall.
We have kick off in Motherwell!
20 minutes to kick off
John Hughes has made two changes to the Staggies starting 11, both enforced as Leo Hjelde and Alex Iacovitti miss out through injury.
Keith Watson comes back in at the heart of defence, while Carl Tremarco is fit enough to return to the squad at left back.
Partially because of injuries, it is a very attacking substitutes' bench which may bode well if County are chasing a goal in the final stages – and we could even see a long-awaited debut for Mohamed Maouche.
Motherwell: Kelly, Lamie, McGinley, O'Hara, Crawford, Long, Hastie, O'Donnell, Foley, Magloire, Cole.
Substitutes: Fox, Carroll, Lawless, Maguire, Dunne, Cornelius, johnston, Gallagher, Watt.
Ross County: Laidlaw, Tremarco, Gardyne, Vigurs, Watson, Kelly, Spittal, Tillson, Naismith, Donaldson, White.
Substitutes: Hilton, Draper, Shaw, Maouche, Charles-Cook, Lakin, Paton, Andreu, Wright.
