Motherwell remain third in the Scottish Premiership despite being blighted by a lack of cutting edge during a scrappy goalless draw at Falkirk.
Jens Berthel Askou's side struck a post and spurned a huge chance through Tawanda Maswanhise, but failed to convert their typical possession play into goals.
Both sides returned an expected goals (xG) of 0.5 or lower, with John McGlynn's team not ever really testing Calum Ward in goal.
Thanks to Rangers' late draw at Tannadice, Motherwell stay level on points with the Ibrox side but ahead on goal difference while sitting nine points behind Celtic and Hearts.
Falkirk remain in sixth, now level on points with Hibernian.
It really was a frustrating game of "what ifs" for both sides, especially given the paltry amount of chances which were cleaved out.
Alfredo Agyeman had both of Falkirk's best chances which came in the first half. One he dragged wide when he should have done better, the other was deflected just away from goal by a scrambling Emmanuel Longelo.
The Motherwell left-back went close himself before the break after ghosting into the box and cracking a low shot off Scott Bain's near post from a tight angle.
Just moments after the restart Maswanhise latched on to a duffed headed clearance, flicked the ball on to his left, but somehow failed to produce a shot convincing enough to beat Bain.
Brad Spencer attempted a Kenny McLean at the other with a quick 50-yard effort, but it drifted by on a frustrating night.
