It was a tale of two penalties as Ross County got their Scottish Premiership campaign off to a winning start by beating 10-man Motherwell 1-0 at the Global Energy Stadium.
The hosts started brightly, and they were rewarded when Ross Stewart emphatically scored from the spot (24) after Harry Paton was fouled inside the penalty area by Declan Gallagher.
Motherwell, who finished third last season, had a glorious chance to equalise when Coll Donaldson’s shirt pull on Jordan White in the penalty area was spotted by referee Nick Walsh, but Liam Donnelly sent the spot-kick wide.
The visitors had Callum Lang sent off late on for a cynical challenge on Michael Gardyne as Stuart Kettlewell’s side held on to join Celtic, Rangers, Hibernian and St Mirren with an opening weekend win.
