Rangers loan spell saw me score against Hibs, and I did it again for Motherwell, says star

Motherwell star Sean Goss doesn’t score many goals, but has now bagged two spectacular free kicks against Hibs in his career.

“I think we’re clear of the bottom now, and we want to be as far away from that as possible. We know there are points to get in the next games, as well.

“We try not to look behind us, we
