Motherwell 3-2 Montrose: What the managers said

Motherwell head coach Paul Brownlie: "I'm delighted to win the game. Performance wise, it wasn't like us in spells.

"Our 3-0 lead at half-time was deserved, in the second half, I don't think we looked ourselves, but the win puts us in a good a place.

Montrose manager Craig Feroz: "It's a difficult one to assess. In the first 20 minutes we had two really good chances, then Motherwell hit us with three goals and we're in a bit of disarray.

"But, I thought we were excellent second half and could have got a point.

"The two quickfire goals gives us confidence for midweek, 100%. The second half has buoyed us a wee bit and we'll be ready for Wednesday."
