Joe Efford was Motherwell's hero as they prepared for their Europa Conference League qualifier with a routine friendly win over Partick Thistle at Firhill.
The Championship side started well and looked lively, but Motherwell quickly took a grip of the game and carved some decent chances in the first half that they probably should have taken.
That said, it took them until the 59th minute before Efford's strike made the breakthrough, and it came from an error in Thistle's defence, rather than magic created by the Premiership side.
