Rangers eased to a fourth consecutive victory under Michael Beale as they saw off Motherwell at Ibrox.
Goals from Alfredo Morelos, Connor Goldson and Malik Tillman delivered the three points their manager so craved as he bids to reel in Premiership leaders Celtic.
But there was concern, too, for the new manager as Morelos limped off in the second-half. Top scorer Antonio Colak was again unfit to make the squad, and Beale could find himself heading into the derby with limited options up front.
