TEAM NEWS
Kirk Broadfoot misses out again for Saints.
"Motherwell are a very difficult, attack-minded team.
"I think after Celtic and Rangers they have scored the most goals out of anyone [in the Premiership] so that tells you all you need to know about the attacking threat they possess.
"It's not a game that we fear going into. We do believe that if we get things right on the night then we can win the game.
"It gives us an opportunity to right the wrongs from the weekend and hopefully get a positive result on the board."
