The whole practice may well be wearing thin for Motherwell, though; the action in front of them spoiled routinely by a tendency for those on screen to fluff their lines.

It has been an enduring problem, Motherwell having failed to score in five of their last six matches and it is little surprise, then, that they have lost each of them. The other match brought a reprieve – a 3-1 win over St Johnstone last weekend – but it was a fleeting one, as they followed that up with another goalless performance against Dundee United earlier this week.
