The match against eleventh placed Motherwell is of extreme importance. A veritable six pointer and possibly more crucial in terms of belief building. Should any team take the full points from this match with it will come a bucketful of confidence that relegation will not be on the agenda come the end of the season.

Motherwell face their fourth away game in their last five SPL matches. They will be keen to take something away from Dunfermline so that it prevents the Pars closing in on them and also because, although their next two SPL matches are at home they are against Celtic and then Rangers.
