  • 5' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Motherwell FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 10' Liam Grimshaw, a England , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 15' With 0 assists to his name this season, Glen Kamara is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Rangers FC.
  • 20' It looks surprising Rangers FC does not make any changes. Jermain Defoe has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' Rangers FC are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 27' Assisted by Borna Barisic with the perfectly-timed delivery and Nikola Katic makes no mistake. 0-1!

  • 37' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 42' The travelling Rangers FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 44' That is a Yellow card for Motherwell FC. Liam Donnelly will be fuming at that decision.

  • 55' Devante Cole has been relatively quiet despite scoring 52 goals in his last 377 appearances.
