FT: Stenhousemuir 1-0 Motherwell
Stenhousemuir manager Marvin Bartley tells BBC Scotland: “It’s about the players, it really, I’m delighted for them.
“Before the game, everyone had written us off again. We were playing against a fantastic Motherwell team with a brilliant manager who are going hell for leather in Europe and domestically as well recently.
“But I always knew what my players could do, and I always knew that if we got the game plan spot on, we could disrupt them and we could punish them going the other way, and we did that today.
“It wasn’t a smash and grab. I thought the boys were unbelievable on the ball. I thought they were even better without the ball. I’m running out of words to describe what this team are actually giving me.
“They’ve all got work tomorrow, so just go in with a sore head because these moments don’t come along all the time in football. I think one or two work for the chairman so we should give them the time off if he’s feeling generous.
“These boys are training twice a week and over 120 minutes they’re matching a team who are full-time, a really fit and good footballing team as well.”
