As for their visitors, Motherwell's hopes of a top-three finish hit a major speed bump as Jens Berthel Askou’s side fell to a surprise 2-1 defeat away to Dundee at Dens Park on Saturday. Just their second defeat in the last 11 league games, the result leaves them four points adrift of third-place Rangers in the table.
