Rangers vs Motherwell: TV channel, live stream, squad news & preview

Rangers return to league action on Sunday against Motherwell, following a Thursday of European disappointment. Three times they led against Spartak Moscow but three times they were pegged back and eventually overhauled, going on to lose the fixture 4-3.

While a valuable chance has been missed to take a step towards the knockout stages of the Europa League, Steven Gerrard’s men must now turn their attentions back to the league, in which they trail leaders Hearts by five points, having played a game fewer, and Celtic by one.

Motherwell are the weekend’s visitors to Ibrox, having struggled for form this season. The Steelmen lie ninth in the table, seven points below the top six but well clear of struggling St Mirren and Dundee, who are languishing at the foot of the standings, having recorded vital victories over both.

Match Preview


Allan McGregor Rangers 2018-19

Rangers have the opportunity to put their Europa League frustrations behind them on Sunday, when they play host to Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership.

Steven Gerrard’s men impressed in an attacking sense against Spartak Moscow, registering via a Roman Eremenko own goal, Daniel Candeias and Glenn Middleton, but they conceded four, leaving them third in an incredibly competitive Group G.

“It was a really unlucky game for us and we conceded four stupid goals," Nikola Katic told Rangers TV .

“We had the chance to take three points here and make a big step to the last 32.

“But it is what it is. We need to move from here and return for the game on Sunday against Motherwell.”

The Gers have not been entirely convincing domestically either, but they have made Ibrox something of a fortress. From their five home fixtures, they have earned 13 points, scoring 15 goals and conceding only three. 

With just 67 hours turnaround between the match in Russia and kick off in Glasgow, plus a long injury list to contend with, it promises to be an awkward fixture for the Light Blues.

Motherwell, meanwhile, have failed to find anything like their best level in the first third of the campaign. Indeed, it was feared Stephen Robinson’s men might be sucked into a relegation battle before successive victories over strugglers St Mirren and Dundee saw them power away from the isolated bottom pair. 

They have already shown that they can trouble the Gers, having played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with the Glasgow club earlier this season.
