| Premiership | St Mirren Park Paisley | |
| St. Mirren | 0-1 | Motherwell |
| v. Veen 42 p Lamie 82  | ||
| Att: 5,668 | Referee: John Beaton |
- Robinson sticks with his 3-5-2 system and although Saints are defeated, the performance is excellent and only an astonishing performance by Motherwell keeper Liam Kelly denies Saints multiple goals.
- Curtis Main returns from injury and comes off the bench for the last half hour but is also denied by Kelly who claws his header miraculously around the post. Trevor Carson also returns to the starting XI following his injury scare earlier in the month.
- The match is decided by a controversial penalty after John Beaton decides Scott Tanser handled a cross. The recent change in the handball law would prove to be a highly debatable subject for months to come.
