Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at Fir Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 15' Motherwell FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
  • 20' It looks surprising Rangers FC does not make any changes. Steven Davis has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 30' Both keepers have barely been tested. Motherwell FC and Rangers FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 33' Rangers FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 33.
  • 38' The 30-year-old Sean Goss has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 43' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 45' Stuart McKinstry picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 50' Leon King needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 53' Malik Tillman puts Rangers FC on the lead.
  • 55' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Kevin van Veen.
  • 58' The Motherwell FC manager makes a substitution. Ricki Lamie departs to be replaced by Bevis Mugabi.
  • 63' With 0 assists to his name this season, Scott Arfield is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Motherwell FC.
  • 65' Rangers FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Kieran Wright is hanging Rabbi Matondo on the field on 65 minute.
  • 69' What a moment for John Lundstram! That strike on 69 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 74' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Scott Wright.
  • 75' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Kieran Wright.
  • 76' Controversy at the stadium! James Tavernier argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 77' Stuart McKinstry doubles the advantage! 1-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 81' The whistle greets Antonio-Mirko Colak as he departs to be replaced by Alfredo Morelos.
  • 86' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Callum Slattery suffering a number of foals already.
  • 87' Leon King has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 87.
  • 89' It is a substitution in Motherwell FC team. Callum Slattery is replaced by Dean Cornelius on 89 minute.
  • 90' It’s a booking for Motherwell FC player. Dean Cornelius gets a Yellow card.
  • Another three points for Rangers FC.
