Motherwell will entertain Rangers at Fir Park in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday. The hosts are hoping to return to winning ways while the visitors are pushing to close their gap on the top spot.
Motherwell vs Rangers Preview
Motherwell dropped four points in their last two matches, which thwarted their smooth progress in the standings. The hosts lost heavily on the road (4-0) to top-placed Celtic in their previous game. That meeting highlighted once again Motherwell’s poor defense, which has conceded 12 goals in their last five matches.
The Well sit in sixth spot on 26 points – five points ahead of seventh-placed Hibernian. That means the hosts will not lose their place even if they fail to claim any points on Sunday. However, Motherwell could leap to the fourth spot if they win against the indefatigable visiting side.
