Michael Higdon's late goal earned St. Mirren a valuable 1-0 victory over Motherwell on Wednesday, easing the team's relegation fears in the Scottish Premier League.

Higdon's 82nd-minute strike found the back of the net after bobbling over unfortunate goalkeeper Darren Randolph.

Its first victory of 2011 pushed the Saints eight points clear of bottom-place Hamilton, while Motherwell wasted an opportunity to move into fourth spot in the table.
