Scottish Premiership: Motherwell and Hamilton win
Wednesday 1 February 2017 12:13, UK
Scott McDonald and Louis Moult were on target as Motherwell moved into the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership top six with a 2-1 victory over Ross County in Dingwall.
McDonald pounced on a Jay McEveley mistake to open the scoring in the 28th minute but the County defender redeemed himself by heading an equaliser six minutes later.
The unmarked Moult headed home from Steven Hammell's inswinging corner nine minutes after the interval and the visitors held on for a crucial win.
Inverness' relegation fears deepened as they lost 3-0 to drop-zone rivals Hamilton at the SuperSeal Stadium.
Richie Foran rushed returning forward Billy McKay back into his Caley Thistle line-up but it failed to produce the spark his bottom side were looking for.
They now trail 11th-placed Accies by three points after Alex D'Acol, Grant Gillespie and Rakish Bingham struck to hand Martin Canning's side their first win in 13 league games, the visitors' misery compounded by Greg Tansey's penalty miss.
