Rangers host Motherwell at the Hampden Park in Glasgow on Saturday for their first home game of the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership season. The Teddy Bears began their campaign with a frustrating goalless stalemate away to Heart of Midlothian last weekend.
The reigning Scottish League Cup winners held a lion's share of possession at 63%, but mustered only three shots on target, as much as their hosts. However, their attacking boots were missing on the day, and Philippe Clement's side had to settle for a share of the spoils.
With the all-important Champions League qualifiers coming up against Dynamo Kyiv next week, Rangers will be looking to build some momentum by picking up a win here.
