A struggling Motherwell side will face second-placed Rangers in a scintillating Scottish Premiership clash.
Motherwell are currently second-last in the table with just three wins from their 18 games. They have conceded 29 goals this season which is the highest in the league and the clash against Rangers could be a difficult one for them.
Rangers have the perfect opportuntiy to snatch the top spot from arch-rivals Celtic as they are just two points behind them with a game in hand. Celtic's shambolic stumble in their previous two games has given the visitors a massive boost and a win here could see them seeded at the summit.
