Motherwell delivered a stunning 5-0 demolition of St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership, with Sir Alex Ferguson watching from the stands at The SMiSA Stadium. The Steelmen bounced back from their Scottish Cup exit with their biggest win of the season, scoring through Elijah Just, Tawanda Maswanhise, Ibrahim Said, Emmanuel Longelo, and Eythor Bjorgolfsson.

St Mirren's afternoon went from bad to worse when defender Richard King was sent off in the 52nd minute for an off-the-ball incident. Motherwell had already established a commanding lead with three first-half goals, including a penalty from Maswanhise after a reckless challenge on the Zimbabwe international. The visitors dominated possession at 71 per cent and completed 92 per cent of their passes.

The result moves Motherwell within 10 points of league leaders Hearts with a game in hand, while St Mirren remain just two points above the relegation zone. Motherwell's comprehensive victory showcased their quality both in and out of possession, with overlapping full-backs creating constant threats and clinical finishing throughout the match.
