Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. Motherwell FC kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' 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 Nicolas Raskin suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Motherwell FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 14' That is a card for Rangers FC. Robin Propper will be fuming at that decision.
  • 16' A goal from the Australia international Apostolos Stamatelopoulos! He fires home on 16 to make it 1-0!
  • 21' Motherwell FC currently sit 6 in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 26' Zimbabwe international Tawanda Maswanhise has been a key figure this campaign — 1 goals and 2 assists in the Array this season.
  • 31' The energy levels are beginning to show. Stuart Kettlewell might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 35' Magnificent from Tawanda Maswanhise! That is 8 goals in 358 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 40' Motherwell FC have won 348 goals from 297 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 45' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Motherwell FC and Rangers FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 46' Motherwell FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Tony Watt is hanging Apostolos Stamatelopoulos on the field on 46 minute.
  • 50' Goal! Hamza Igamane scores his 16 goal in 406 matches.
  • 53' Lennon Miller has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 53.
  • 58' Rangers FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 63' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Stuart Kettlewell will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 66' A tactical swap from Rangers FC — Rabbi Matondo on, Findlay Curtis off on 66 minutes.
  • 67' Dujon Sterling was booked on 67.
  • 68' GOAL! Hamza Igamane fires home to make it 2-2!
  • 68' Motherwell FC make a change. Lennon Miller trudges off to be replaced by Tom Sparrow on 68 minutes.
  • 73' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 76' Sam Nicholson is ready to make an impact after coming on for Andy Halliday at the 76 minute mark.
  • 81' Moses Ebiye gets the nod from Motherwell FC. He replaces Marvin Kaleta and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 86' It looks like no one’s ball. Motherwell FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 90' Controversy at the stadium! Tom Sparrow argues furiously but the card stands.
  • 90' The Rangers FC manager makes a substitution. Mohammed Diomande departs to be replaced by Nedim Bajrami.
  • celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
