Preview

Match preview

Rangers welcome Motherwell to Ibrox in an early-season Premiership encounter with just one point separating the sides in the standings. Motherwell sit fourth with eight points from their opening four matches, while Rangers trail closely in sixth on seven points. Both clubs have shown consistent scoring ability in domestic action, setting up a competitive contest.

Motherwell arrive with proven confidence in this fixture, having secured a 3-2 victory at Ibrox in their most recent clash in April 2026 and winning three of their last five visits to Rangers. Their away matches in the league have been high-scoring affairs, producing five goals scored and four conceded across two outings, driven by attacking contributions from Tawanda Jethro Maswanhise.

Rangers have scored in every league fixture so far, with forward L. Shankland leading the line with three goals. However, defensive solidity remains an area of concern, as Rangers have conceded in their sole home league match and kept only one clean sheet across four Premiership fixtures.
