Finally putting the cherry on the cake // Motherwell 5-0 Ross County

With Motherwell coming into the game five games unbeaten, the performances had been encouraging but the result had been missing. 

Prior to the Tuesday night match against Ross County, the Highlanders were 11th with the Steelmen directly above them in 10th. The stakes couldn't be higher.

If there were any pre match nerves in the stands, that wasn't reflected on the pitch.

Andy Halliday, Blair Spittal and Theo Bair had Motherwell leading 3-0 by the break, despite missing a number of chances. They continued to blow County away in the second half, with Spittal and debutant Jack Vale adding to the tally.

A 5-0 win ahead of a Friday night trip to Greenock in the Scottish Cup fills everyone associated with the club with optimism and encouragement.
