Dundee manager Steven Pressley: "I'm really proud of the players today because that was an enormous effort against a really top Motherwell side that ask so many different questions of you but the players found the answers.

"We set up in a certain way, Motherwell adapted, tested us but time and time again the players found solutions.
At times we showed good bravery. It's small steps from us in the right direction, that's now seven points from our last nine against Aberdeen, Motherwell and Hibernian which is a good return but the most pleasing thing for me is that we're making progress and the players are showing a lot of personality and a lot of character.
"Motherwell had a lot of pressure, a lot of efforts on goal and made it really difficult for us but time and time again the players came up with the answers and defended for their lives.
"I think for that effort alone it's really pleasing for them to get the rewards with the win.
"We're moving forward but we're nowhere near where we need to be. The players take a lot of responsibility and ownership and that's what pleases me most.
"Jon McCracken has been terrific for us all season. There's been a couple of moments of late but he's responded brilliantly to that. There hasn't been that many, and also we have to remember it's his first real run of games at this level. he's played more games this season than in any other season so he's learning all the time, growing all the time.
"I'll not lose sight of what I continue to say. For me the most important thing for us is remaining in the Premiership. If we can do that after what the players have had to endure this year, that would be a great achievement. There's a lot of work going on and that's why it's so essential we stay in the Premiership."
