Hugh McDonald's article in the Herald today (clicky) summed it all up quite nicely: "Motherwell celebrated as if they had walked away from a serious car crash."
Other highlights:
"It was similar to Marco van Basten’s goal against Russia in the 1988 European Championships. Only better. The Dutchman, after all, was playing on a football pitch. The Motherwell striker was playing on one leg and a sandy outcrop in Lanarkshire."
"It was an evening of turbulent emotions for [Colin Nish]. He scored a hat trick yet ended the match with the sensation that every time he turned round Motherwell had scored. This was because every time he turned round, Motherwell had scored."
