MERCILESS Motherwell found their ruthless streak to pile the relegation pressure on Ross County and ease their own worries with a Fir Park mauling.
Stuart Kettlewell had urged his Steelmen to show their mettle in front of goal before this one after a run of three straight Premiership draws.
Well did that and more as they raced into a 3-0 lead just 38 minutes in before adding two late goals to send Derek Adams’ Staggies back up the road with serious doubts hanging over their top-flight credentials.
Andy Halliday’s first goal in claret and amber eight minutes in paved the way before Blair Spittal doubled the lead in a man-of-the-match display.
Theo Bair made it six goals in as many games from the penalty spot as Spittal went on to net a stunning fourth and debutant Jack Vale opened his account in added time.
It’s the Steelmen’s biggest win since trouncing County 5-0 in Dingwall in October 2022. And Well have now suffered just one defeat in nine games, seeing them jump above St Johnstone and Aberdeen into eighth place, only a point off the top six.
Truth be told, it could have been even more had Kettlewell’s side wanted to stick the knife in.
