A brilliant double save from Kilmarnock goalkeeper Anssi Jaakkola denied Motherwell a fourth consecutive Scotish Premier League win as the match finished goalless.

The Finn, who made a great early save from Chris Humphrey, stopped Steve Jennings and Michael Higdon netting just after the interval at Fir Park.

Kilmarnock were worthy of a point though and the impressive Gary Harkins hit the post for the visitors.

The goalless draw was the second the teams have played out this season but the scoreline did not reflect the willingness of both sides to attack at every opportunity.

Only some last-gasp defending and the lack of a killer instinct prevented goals coming in a lively encounter.
The point was enough to ensure Motherwell stay second in the SPL at the end of the weekend.
