Motherwell fans, we asked for your views on the 1-1 draw with Hearts at Fir Park. Here's a taste of what you had to say...
Mark: That was one of the most entertaining matches this season. Both teams going at it full force, with a draw the right result. When Stephen O'Donnell got home after the game and emptied his pocket he took out his wallet, keys and Claudio Braga! A stellar performance and man of the match for me. Get a result against Celtic and we will be known as kingslayers.
John: Pulsating game, with both teams going for three points. Plenty of contentious decisions, but a draw was a fair result. Onwards to Celtic on Wednesday - Europe here we come!
Robert: We were poor tonight, but we had resilience. That's been absent for years. I still hope Hearts go on and win league, but I am equally extremely proud of the Motherwell team.
Adam: We got away with one, I think every day of the week that's a penalty and finally incompetent officiating went in our favour. Thought we started well but Hearts took control of the game without causing us many issues. Draw basically seals fourth for us. Great season.
Robert: Very obvious penalty, soft variety but there's contact - for no reason, he's running towards the corner flag just let him go. Can't see us putting up much of a fight against Celtic, our seasons done and I'm just over the moon to finish in the European places.
Sinky: We've played better and lost games, so that was a good point. The team did great to defend under increasing pressure. Hopefully we have a couple of players back for Wednesday night.
Stuart: Really good game and an excellent atmosphere. Both teams had chances to win it and in the end a draw probably fair. Just hope we can get over the line and keep fourth place.
Crawford: We stayed brave, even with a makeshift rearguard. Hearts are a gutsy team and we went toe-to-toe. If only we had a Lawrence Shankland!
Alan: Another composed and confident display by Motherwell against the longstanding leaders of the league. All systems worked well and the atmosphere from the crowd made it a night to remember. Europe here we come!
