Kenny Black said he will decide in the next few days whether to stay at Motherwell after his last match as caretaker coach ended in a 2-2 draw with Ross County at Fir Park.

Incoming manager Ian Baraclough watched from the stands as the Staggies scored in the 93rd minute through Tony Dingwall to deny his new side victory.

Dingwall had earlier given the visitors the lead before John Sutton and Henrik Ojamaa scored for Motherwell.

Baraclough wants the current coaching staff to work with him but Black is unsure of his future, and he said: "We will probably have a chat over the next few days and see what develops.

"Certainly the manager has indicated that he would like to work with the current coaching staff.

"It's been quite a whirlwind over the last 24 hours. Things have happened very quickly and there has been a lot to take in.

“New ownership, new management and the game today - there are a lot of things I need to think about.

"I don't know Ian Baraclough but then I didn't really know Stuart (McCall) on a personal basis either and we did okay for four years. It's just different when you've been working with someone."

Meanwhile, County boss Jim McIntyre has tipped young midfielder Dingwall to have a bright future after his goals helped lift them off the bottom of the table.

"Dingwall's got a great chance in the game," McIntyre said.

"We have been working on him getting in the back-post area so it was great he took his first goal from there.

“And the second one was a great finish, great technique."
