Fresh from their success in the Europa League, Rangers will be looking to deny Celtic the Scottish Premiership title by staying within three points of the league leaders with four matches remaining when they take on Motherwell with kickoff 6 pm.
Sunday’s visitors sit inside the top half of the table, so a Gers defeat could see them drop down if other results do not go their way.
It was a brilliant week for the Gers in midweek, as they managed to pick up another excellent result against Borussia Dortmund. They drew 2-2 with the Bundesliga outfit thanks to a brace from James Tavernier, which led to a 6-4 victory on aggregate following another great performance in the first leg.
The squad will be looking to take that momentum into the Scottish Premiership this weekend, where they are unbeaten in their last three matches, having only just bounced back from a loss to Celtic.
Motherwell’s last performance against Aberdeen saw them share points with a Mark O’Hara goal extending their winless run to seven games.
This is the longest winless streak of the season, stretching back to Boxing Day when they beat Livingston 3-2. This run has resulted in them dropping down the table into sixth place, and Graham Alexander’s men now face pressure from teams below them in the league.
