Connor Shields says wins away from home when you’re up against it are the sweetest, and is delighted that 10-man Motherwell emerged from St Mirren with a 1-0 opening day Premiership win on Sunday.
The 25-year-old former Queen of the South and Sunderland striker played his part in the win in Paisley, but says Liam Kelly was worth three points by himself.
Ricki Lamie’s red card left the Steelmen up against it in the last 10 minutes as Saints bombarded their box, and in a week that saw a dismal exit from the Europa Conference League and loss of manager Graham Alexander on Friday, Shields says it was a great win.
