Liam Fox handed the plaudits to Motherwell before claiming a point means the world to his beleaguered Dundee United side. The Tannadice caretaker believes the result could be a starting point despite still searching for a first Premiership win and sitting bottom of the table.
Fox will wait to see what managerial decision is taken by his club after the dismissal of Jack Ross, but a Premier Sports Cup win over Livingston midweek and now a share of the spoils is a sign that things are looking up.
He said: "We are pleased with the point. I thought Motherwell were good — I’ll be honest about that. What pleased me about our performance is that we showed resilience in our box and we had to.
I think this will be a tough place to come over the course of this season, but the players stuck at it. They defended their box and defended their goal.
