Events

Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Motherwell FC and Rangers FC is underway.
  • 4' The deadlock is broken! Kieran Dowell gets on the scoresheet on 4 minutes.
  • 9' It looks surprising Rangers FC does not make any changes. Ridvan Yilmaz has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 14' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 14 minutes.
  • 16' Todd Cantwell has been a constant threat and now delivers with a goal on 16 minutes.
  • 21' Sam Lammers needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 26' Rangers FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 31' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 36' Rangers FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Ryan Naderi scoring 1 goals.
  • 41' Motherwell FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Rangers FC backline.
  • 46' Paul McGinn is ready to make an impact after coming on for Bevis Mugabi at the 46 minute mark.
  • 51' 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 Leon Balogun suffering a number of foals already.
  • 53' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Brodie Spencer on 53 minutes.
  • 58' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 60' The referee shows Motherwell FC player a card on 60.

  • 63' Another substitution for Rangers FC to replace Abdallah Sima by Rabbi Matondo on 63 minute.
  • 65' Motherwell FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 65.
  • 70' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 72' Time for substitution for Rangers FC. Todd Cantwell is replaced by Sam Lammers.
  • 77' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Stuart Kettlewell will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 82' Rabbi Matondo has been relatively quiet despite scoring 17 goals in his last 417 appearances.
  • 85' Theo Bair is ready to make an impact after coming on for Callum Slattery at the 85 minute mark.
  • 88' A moment of madness from Dujon Sterling on 88 minutes earns him a card. Rangers FC will be frustrated.
  • The points are shared — Motherwell FC 0-2 Rangers FC. Honours even.
