Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell: "It feels worse because it's the next one, it feels worse because you're in the lead in the game.

Motherwell lost to Premiership basement side St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park, seven days after being knocked out of the Scottish Cup by the same opponents, at the same venue. Andy Halliday's early penalty looked like earning Motherwell all three points, until two corners cost them dearly as Taylor Steven and Bozo Mikulic netted.

Goals on 86 and 88 minutes ensured a dramatic and potentially priceless victory for bottom-side St Johnstone as they ended a nine-game winless run in the Scottish Premiership against Motherwell.
