Stuart McCall looks to continue Motherwell winning run - BBC Sport

{ Motherwell manager Stuart McCall McCall's side won their second match in five days
Motherwell manager Stuart McCall hopes his side can continue the positive approach he feels has contributed to two straight wins.

The 1-0 victory over Hamilton followed a midweek triumph at Aberdeen, with St Mirren and Celtic visiting Fir Park over the next eight days.

"Three points (against Hamilton) is huge," McCall told BBC Scotland.

"We've got to be as positive again on Wednesday night (against St Mirren) and get at them again."

Having had indifferent results at the start of his Motherwell reign, McCall's side are starting to find their form and are well in the mix for top six places.

"You take nothing for granted just because you're at home against a side below you, it showed (against Hamilton) just how difficult it can be," McCall said.

"Teams like Hamilton and St Mirren are fighting for their lives down at the bottom there and we've got an aim as well.

"The game on Wednesday comes and then Celtic come on Sunday so two home games to look forward to and St Mirren will be a big one again."

Of the win over Hamilton, McCall said: "I'm absolutely delighted. I thought we fully merited a victory.

"We knew what type of game it was going to be; always tough, even though Hamilton are at the bottom, they don't lose lots of goals.

"Their keeper's pulled off two or three excellent stops, our keeper's not had anything to do. I'm not saying the results wasn't in doubt but we fully merited a victory.

"Overall, if you look at chances and possession of the ball and everything, we were the most prominent side without a doubt."

Motherwell's winning goal came from the penalty spot, John Sutton converting after he was pulled down in the box by Martin Canning.

"My first reaction was that Sutty had rolled the boy and the boy clawed him to the ground," added McCall.

"From where I was I thought it was a penalty, Sutty says it was definitely a penalty kick.

"We're pleased that he stepped up and slotted it in the corner. I was confident in Sutty and delighted for him to take that."
