Rangers vs Motherwell Prediction
Rangers have struggled over the last few weeks and were seemingly on their way to defeat but showed their temerity to come back. They are 13 points off arch-rivals Celtic and have little chance of winning the league.
Motherwell, for their part, sit just two points outside the top six, and a win here could see them climb into the Championship play-off spots.
Rangers have lost their last two home games and will be eager to avoid losing a third. So, expect them to claim a comfortable win with goals at both ends.
