The Harambee Stars striker came on as a substitute but could not help St.Mirren prevent a draw against Motherwell.

Harambee Stars forward Jonah Ayunga came on as a substitute for St.Mirren, who will have to wait to confirm their place in the top six of the Scottish Premiership after Motherwell came from behind to draw with the Paisley side at Fir Park.

Ayunga, who made his debut for Kenya last week during their 4-0 win over Malawi, was on the pitch for 11 minutes, during which he attempted one shot on target after touching the ball only a handful of times.

The Brighton academy product has had to contend with a place as an impact sub since February after he had had a run of games as the starting forward for quite a couple of matches after recovering from an ACL injury.

The head of Marcus Fraser gave the visitors the lead in the first half as he nodded in a corner following Andy Halliday's missed clearing header.

But eight-placed Motherwell's talisman Theo Bair bundled in a leveler in the 74th minute to keep Stuart Kettlewell's slim top-six dream alive with two games until the split.

St Mirren, fifth, possess a five-point cushion over seventh-placed Hibernian, while Motherwell are six behind Dundee, who are sixth.
