Fashion Sakala leads the line at Fir Park in Kemar Roofe and Alfredo Morelos's absence through injury.

But today is vital that we get the three points." He added: "We have to win to get the points. "He's got pace so hopefully we can use the pace of our strikers today,” he said.

Rangers' Leon Balogun was shown a straight red card by referee Nick Walsh in the 29th minute for a heavy tackle on Dean Cornelius before Motherwell Ross Tierney ...

Motherwell defended the first delivery for another corner which Diallo and Tavernier worked short. Sakala penetrated the Motherwell defence and squared for Diallo 12 yards from goal but his shot was saved by Motherwell skipper Kelly for a corner. Kemar Roofe has joined fellow striker Alfredo Morelos on the sidelines due to a knee injury and Aaron Ramsey was also out with a hamstring complaint as Van Bronckhorst made eight changes from the side which started the 2-1 Scottish Cup semi-final win over Celtic last week.

Rangers go to Germany on Thursday for the first leg of their Europa League semi-final against RB Leipzig; kick-off 8pm. The second leg against RB Leipzig at Ibrox is on Thursday, May 5; kick-off 8pm. "With the red card we had to switch to a different way of playing and I think we did it really well, especially in the second half. "I find it amusing that we get in the top six and get no credit and other clubs get in the top six and get lots of credit. Momentum had swung towards the home side by the interval but it changed early in the second half when Sakala drove at the Motherwell defence and laid the ball off to Wright to drive low past Kelly from the edge of the box. The first chance came for Rangers in the 11th minute and it should have resulted in a goal.

On a day when Giovanni van Bronckhorst seemed to have placed all his eggs in a Europa League-shaped basket, Rangers displayed resilience and resourcefulness ...

They worked the ball to Jake Carroll on the left and his inviting cross found Tierney whose precise header gave McGregor no chance. But it took Rangers just another three minutes to make the breakthrough. It was the Rangers captain’s 80th goal for the Ibrox club, his 40th successful conversion from 12 yards. There was no sense of Rangers being short-handed as they continued to cause Motherwell problems with their movement and sharpness in possession. Motherwell looked to be in prime position to seize the initiative after the break but instead it was Rangers who resumed with far greater purpose. Motherwell goalkeeper Kelly could only divert the ball towards his own goal and while Wright claimed the credit, there was some confusion over who got the final touch as the Rangers player wrestled with both Kelly and Slattery to bundle the ball home.

Rangers are interested in signing French midfielder Abdoulaye Sissako from Zulte Waregem, according to Belgian media.

He's an excellent player and we hope he stays." With Glen Kamara and Joe Aribo consistently linked with a move to the English Premier League and veterans Scott Arfield and Steven Davis out of contract in the summer, Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst is looking to strengthen his midfield and deployed scouts to Belgium and the Netherlands earlier this year to explore that market. Sissako, who moved to Zulte Waregem from French side Chateauroux in 2019 and has represented France at under-19 level, missed some of the season due to a lung infection but is now fully fit and has put in a series of strong performances to catch the eye of Rangers.

Amad Diallo came in from the cold but wouldn’t – through no fault of his own - see the interval as his chance to impress was fleeting. The champions had done exactly what they needed to just three minutes after the restart. A short corner was worked between Diallo and Tavernier and Connor Goldson nodded the ball back across goal. His call just seconds later to only book Juahni Ojala for a lunge on Wright was more debateable. As his biggest hitters were left on the sidelines, the Ibrox boss set out his stall.

The sacking of Shaun Maloney shocked Scottish football. Did Hibs act too quickly? DM: Much too quickly. Ron Gordon made the call to appoint him and should have ...

It will take a major overhaul and it will take time and money. It might help take some of the pressure off and lift the mood. Will he get the former? Ron Gordon made the call to appoint him and should have had the courage of his convictions to give him far longer than 19 games. It’ll be a test for them but Rangers will also have it tough without Roofe and Morelos at Fir Park today. It wouldn’t be a surprise if Celtic needed to go late again.

Rangers are prepared to make their move now to get an early deal done for one of the brightest talents emerging through Cormack Park.

That has brought Pollard to the attention of Rangers and some of England’s biggest clubs. The Premiership champions are aware that there is big interest in the Dons' young attacker and are prepared to make a six figure bid to get a quick deal over the line. Determined Rangers are looking to beat Liverpool to the signing of Aberdeen youngster Lancelot Pollard.

You can enter once each week to be in with a chance of winning. "Don’t get me wrong, Celtic are in a strong position. "We can argue about collapses at the end of the season though.

GIOVANNI VAN BRONCKHORST needed Rangers to step up and play. The champions rose to the occasion at Fir Park.

RANGERS' sponsorship row with the SPFL appears to have taken a fresh twist in the aftermath of their win over Motherwell.

Rangers' interviews with Sky on matchdays this term have tended to take place on trackside due to their ongoing battle with the SPFL surrounding the cinch branding of the Premiership. And when van Bronckhorst spoke to Sky this afternoon, Rangers continued that by taping over the cinch logo on the advertising backdrop behind the Dutchman. As per usual, van Bronckhorst spoke to Sky Sports after the match to reflect on the game, as Rangers' impressive form continued.

“He has talent. Diallo was one of eight changes made by Gio van Bronckhorst for the lunchtime clash with the Steelmen, starting on the left of the Rangers front-three with Fashion Sakala and Scott Wright. Rangers loanee Amad Diallo was handed a rare start for the Light Blues in this afternoon’s Scottish Premiership clash with Motherwell at Fir Park – and the Manchester United kid’s return to the starting XI quickly turned sour.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst has named his starting XI as the Gers take on the Steelmen.

Add to that the absence of Roofe, who will be out for "some weeks" with a knee complaint, and the fact Alfredo Morelos is already out for the season, the Light Blues squad is thinning by the minute as they try to pull themselves back into the title race.

RANGERS have entered into talks with Belgian-based holding midfielder Abdoulaye Sissako and are favourites to snap up the Zulte Waregem star.The Ibrox.

He missed a chunk of the end of last season because of a lung infection, but returned to play a big part this term in Belgium and has scored twice so far this term. He was linked with a move to Panathinaikos in January, but the move to Greece fell through. And reports in Belgium have suggested Sissako has already started negotiations with the Europa League semi-finalists and is close to agreeing on a move to Scotland.

The Germans conceded two late goals against Union in an unconvincing performance that sees them drop to fourth in the Bundesliga.

The Europa League first leg takes place at the Red Bull Arena on Thursday with the return at Ibrox a week later. But they looked like getting the win over the line despite Union rattling the woodwork and being denied a penalty in a very debatable VAR decision. With a scrap on for the Bundesliga's Champions League places there was no room for rotation in a re-run of the DFB-Pokal semi-final in midweek, which saw Leipzig progress 2-1 through Emil Forsberg's added-time winner.

Union Berlin scored twice in the last four minutes to turn the game around following their midweek cup defeat.

RANGERS produced a terrific, battling performance to win at Fir Park this afternoon, with Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men playing for more than an hour with ...

He took a touch across his body before powering a right-foot shot through a defender’s legs and into the opposite bottom corner. Three minutes later and the Light Blues deservedly broke the deadlock after their early dominance. The 19-year-old beat Kelly but his low, net-bound effort was blocked by Jake Carroll.

IT was a win for Rangers at a sunny Dumbarton Stadium as they completed their first season in the Scottish Lowland League.

It was a strong start to the second-half and Rangers were back level just five minutes after the restart. Russell Currie stepped up to take the spot kick and fired down the middle to send his side in with a lead at the break. Rangers had a fantastic chance to take the lead before the break as Arron Lyall’s shot was blocked by a Dalbeattie defender before Cole McKinnon struck another powerful shot at goal. Dylan Cairnie had a low effort held by Hogarth before Lewis Todd flashed a shot across goal and just wide of the right-hand post. Cole McKinnon scored either side of a Ross McCausland strike in the second-half to secure the victory for Rangers. However, the opener did come for the Light Blues just minutes later with McCann again involved in the build-up play.

The Motherwell defender went into the book in the first half and just minutes after Balogun's dismissal for a lunge on Scott Wright. The Nigerian went in high and late and the referee had little hesitation in flashing a red card to Balogun. A red card to Leon Balogun and a penalty converted by James Tavernier were among the key incidents in Lanarkshire.

Rangers have suffered another blow ahead of their very important Scottish Premiership game against Celtic at Parkhead next month.

A loss could turn the momentum in the favour of Van Bronckhorst’s side though and must be avoided at all costs. Thus, the Hoops need to be at the top of their games this time around if they are to get a result against the Rangers. They will have the home advantage on this occasion. No matter how that game goes, Celtic will have a lead to protect at Parkhead against the Rangers, whether that be 6, 4 or 3 points.

But his left foot goes over the ball and he catches Cornelius." He takes the ball and his left foot goes over the top of the ball so I can understand the referee's decision. "He just overruns it, but he doesn't need to go in there.

Diallo was handed a rare start against Motherwell as he looks to get his Rangers career back on track.

He told Sky Sports: "I think he has talent. "He looks very good in training so hopefully he can extend that into the games." He came in in the winter break, he had some good moments but also some moments that were not so good.

There is only one criteria Ange Postecoglou jokingly applies to criteria for being a manager of the year contender in Scottish football.

Everyone who’s survived has done a good job – because quite a few of them haven’t!” “At the start of the year most people wrote them off a little bit. “I haven’t thought a lot about it but Malky [Mackay] has done a great job,” said the Celtic manager.

Peter Drury was the man on the mic for a clip that will have been watched over and over by Ibrox fans.

“I’m grateful for it because I was just lucky to be there. And the whole run was such a tale of the unexpected. “That was priceless. After that game he could barely put one foot in front of the other.” It was just extraordinary. “On that run, Rangers kept drawing at Ibrox and then doing it away from home. “Having drawn at home to Fiorentina, our supposition was that Rangers’ luck had run out. So there was no preparing for that moment. “They won’t need visas. “But it was such a weird, wonderful run for Rangers. It was so exciting to suddenly be involved in it. They won’t need passports. “For a commentator, it was a strange one.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst was playing the long game as the Ibrox club move into a potentially historic final few weeks of their season.

But the Zambian international made up for his lack of finesse with a willingness to run at the home defence which increasingly unsettled Motherwell as the afternoon went on. Steven Davis may be approaching his final act in a Rangers jersey with his contract due to expire this summer. The 24-year-old was making his first start since the Scottish Cup tie against Annan back in February and delivered a highly-motivated, energetic and eye-catching display.

Leipzig played Willie Orban, Mohamed Simakan and Kevin Kampl from the start in this one, with all three set to miss the first leg tie with Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side. However, late strikes from Sven Michel and Kevin Behrens saw the points return to the German capital. The German side's preparations ahead of this Thursday's semi-final first leg have taken a dent after a dramatic late comeback in the Bundesliga clash.

We need to move more. When you are 1-0 in the 86th minute and go on to lose the game, it's obviously not good enough. "For Rangers, we need to do more.

The Premiership title race is far from over, but already Rangers are seemingly looking ahead to their next assault on the league crown.

Stewart took his League One tally for the season to 24 goals in a 5-1 demolition of Cambridge United on Saturday, underlying why the Light Blues are after him. Reports in his homeland suggest the 19-year-old is free to leave either permanently or on another loan with a year left to run on his contract. He is currently on loan at Austria Vienna and has made 30 appearances for them this season ahead of his German return at the end of this term.

Motherwell goalkeeper Liam Kelly says the Steelmen need to up their game massively if they are to stand any chance of claiming European football.

But we, myself included, have to be a lot better than this." The first one, I've went to block it and it's come off my hand and gone in the way. We knew they had to win the game. I don't know whether it's a penalty or not but it doesn't matter in terms of getting back into the game. I genuinely don't. We weren't good enough and that's the bottom line. I don't know what to even say after that.

Martin Penman, 39, and Megan Cahill, 26, were part of a mob who stormed the home of Charles McGowan, 39, in Airdrie on December 8 2019.

Charles McGowan tried to fight back, but was overpowered." Penman, Cahill and others then burst into the flat and started shouting. Biggart admitted to the same charges involving Caroline and Jordan, but insisted he was a "lookout" and had not played any active part in the violence. Penman and Cahill both pled to assaulting the three victims to their severe injury with it also to the permanent disfigurement of Charles McGowan and Jordan McGinty.

Motherwell star Ross Tierney has taken a weird dig at Rangers fans on social media after scoring in a 3-1 defeat by the Light Blues.

Posting the clip of his equaliser to Insta, Tierney will no doubt come in for some stick as a result, and is unlikely to do him any favours with some of the Motherwell fans. After losing – and doing so to a team that played an hour with 10 men – it isn’t exactly the time to try noise up opposition fans on social media. Motherwell star Ross Tierney has taken an odd shot at Rangers on Instagram after yesterday’s 3-1 win for the Light Blues – posting video of his goal with ‘ssshhh’ emojis.
