St Mirren manager Gary Teale has admitted that his side are almost certain to be relegated from the Scottish Premiership following their 5-0 loss to Motherwell.
Although the Buddies' fate is not yet sealed, their coach believes that the writing is already on the wall.
"Mathematically we're still in with a shout," Teale told BBC Sport.
"But on the performances and the goals we're conceding, added to the fact we've not really got a goal-scoring threat, it's going to be nigh on impossible to get out of it."
The result leaves St Mirren 10 points adrift of Motherwell at the bottom of the league.
