Another superb showing from Motherwell, but a night to forget for Hibs.

And it doesn't get any easier. They host Celtic on Sunday in a lunchtime kick-off at Easter Road.

As usual, we'll have that covered online and with radio commentary, too. We'll see you on Thursday night for all the European action.

Until then, have a good one everybody.

More from David Gray: "There's a big moment just before half-time. If we go in at 2-1 down, having been as poor as we were, it would have been big.

"I can't fault the effort second half, the players tried to keep going, tried to carry a threat. But tonight we got what we deserved.

"It was a few unforced errors, and poor play, misplaced passes. It's unlike us. People speak very highly about this group of players because we can handle the ball. We got punished for us.

"The red card - no. I believe he's onside. It was a factual decision, and it's the letter of the law. It's an accidental trip but it's a red card.

"The penalty? I'm not sure what he's meant to do with that. Just has had a shot, the shot is clearly going miles wide. Grant hasn't made himself any bigger, he's not even trying to block the shot.

"The biggest issue for me is inconsistency. What I just watched at Ibrox four days ago... inconsistency is the problem. I don't know the rule."

Hibs head coach David Gray tells BBC Scotland: "Everything that could have went wrong in the first 20, 25 minutes certainly did. We got, in the end, what we deserved for that 25-minute display.

"Really poor, really slow. Everything we didn't want to do. Motherwell didn't do anything different from what we thought [they would] to catch us out.

"It's unlike us. It's not as if it was individual, there was lots of errors between us in that performance. Compounded by that was a few decisions that went against us, but they came about from really poor play from us so I won't put it down to that.

"We're really up against it, 2-0 down, down to 10 men, but one thing is they didn't throw the towel in. They kept running right to the very end."

A little more from Askou: "Any team today spends a lot of time analysing the opponent and discussing how you use your own strengths to hurt the opposition. It's not something specific to us.

"Today we made it look good because we have some young men out there who are good at executing what we do, and who feel comfortable and confident in trying new things.

"That was good to see. Saturday is a new game and a new game plan."

Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou tells BBC Scotland: "We were able to change up a bit in the line-up, get in some fresh players with different qualities. It was needed today to execute the game plan, to take out their access to their front players.

"We cut out the supply from their midfielder, leaving Hanley to bring the ball forward. It set up the running duel with JT [Maswanhise] and Hanley up top when we had the ball.

"I have to praise the players for coming in, not being able to train it too much, run through it in the meeting, and then execute it this well. Big credit to them to make sure it was spot on.

"The first 20-30 minutes was outstanding to watch. After the red card, it became a matter of finding the right balance in and out of possession, keeping control, and we did that well."

The league leaders are next on the schedule for Motherwell at Fir Park.

Will they be boosted by the performance tonight, or will they be scarred by the 3-3 draw earlier in the season against Hearts - when they threw away a three-goal lead?

We've got live radio commentary for that, and I'd highly recommend tuning in.

Stick with us for the reaction from Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou and Hibs' head coach David Gray.

Really intriguing to hear what they have to say, especially Gray on that handball penalty.

Players look good because the structure has been simplified for them.

This system is not extremely difficult, but they're being given the freedom, they're allowed to make mistakes.

They're the best football team in the league to watch. They don't have the best players, but they have the best structure and it was a joy to watch.

I can see why Motherwell fans are loving it. I really enjoyed the game, although the manager might be annoyed they weren't more ruthless in the final third.

But some of the football was incredible. The weight of pass, the one-touch, the decision-making. That comes from the manager.

They didn't force things, that was the biggest thing.

Not their prettiest, but maybe their grittiest. Thistle now sit joint on 34 points with St Johnstone, behind only on goal difference.

There is now an 11-point gap between the top two and the rest of the league. Confirmation of a two-horse race? Looks like it.

More to come from our reporter Kheredine Idessane.

Fourth will have to do for Motherwell tonight, but it's another exceptional showing from Jens Berthel Askou's side.

Although they may have gotten a bit lucky with the penalty that put them ahead, they were stupendous and stupefying for the remainder of the game.

Hibs' had no answer. They soon shipped a second before Grant Hanley saw red for tripping Tawanda Maswanhise when he was through on goal.

In the second-half, we saw the showboating skills of Ibrahim Said - although his manager has just told him off down on the pitch after the full-time whistle.

Three minutes of additional time.

One more goal for Motherwell and they'd leapfrog Hibs and move into third place.

Callum Slattery has the ball on the halfway line and he has a look... No, he's not Kenny McLean, and instead brings it forward.

He slides in Regan Charles-Cook, but he blasts just over the bar.

It's been 25 minutes since Hibs last had a shot.

Motherwell, helped by the man advantage, have been absolutely joyous to watch. Elliot Watt has had another good night, as has Stephen Welsh at the back.

They're now bringing young Luca Ross on, replacing Oscar Priestman who has similarly impressed on his first start.

Elie Youan is on for Martin Boyle, who has trudged off the field with his captain's armband still on.

Does that mean Hibs are without a captain for the final 10 minutes?

Big chance for Motherwell.

Once again, they knock it around brilliantly with one and two-touches before Regan Charles-Cook is played in behind.

He goes for goal but Raphael Sallinger makes a good save.

BBC Scotland at Firhill

The home side's lead is hanging by a thread here at Firhill.

The last 15 minutes or so have been by far Dunfermline's best spell in the game, with substitute Tashan Oakley-Boothe going close and fellow sub Chris Kane making a good impact too.

The Jags have hit the post this half but have somewhat lost control of the game as the Fifers chase an equaliser. The home side needs a second for insurance.
