Motherwell 0 St Mirren 1 as Scott Tanser fires in-form Buddies to dramatic victory
dailyrecord.co.ukScott Tanser slammed home a stunning second-half winner to earn St Mirren a third Premiership win of the season this afternoon.The 28-year-old popped up with his first goal in almost two years as the Buddies’ Fir Park triumph kept them in second place in the table just two points behind reigning champions Celtic.Saints made two changes to the side which started the 1-1 draw with Livingston in West Lothian before the international break.Fit-again skipper Mark O’Hara was back in the centre of midfield with the armband in place of Aussie Keanu Baccus while Mikael Mandron was preferred to lead the line ahead of Toyosi Olusanya.
The Steelmen had inflicted capital punishment on Hearts ahead of the top-flight’s temporary shutdown and they showed one enforced switch with Shane Blaney in for the suspended Paul McGinn who had been sent-off at Tynecastle.There were few goalscoring opportunities in the first half.
Blair Spittal stung the palms of Buddies keeper Zach Hemming while, at the other end, Northern Irish international Conor McMenamin fired just over the bar.Renfrewshire Live, the new free app dedicated to bringing you around the clock breaking news, is now available to download.Powered by the Paisley Daily Express, Renfrewshire Live is your go-to source for news, features and sport with live coverage provided direct to the app, seven days a week.The dedicated team of experienced journalists, responsible for the publication of the award-winning Express, will focus on breaking news, day and night, across Renfrewshire’s towns and villages.There is also a dedicated St Mirren section that will follow every kick of the ball with the Buddies.
