James Tavernier inspires ragged Rangers recovery as slow start can't stop Motherwell rout - 3 talking points

Rangers skipper James Tavernier closed in on his Ibrox century as the skipper’s 98th goal for the club got Michael Beale’s ragged Rangers going at Fir Park on their way to 4-2 win.

Kevin van Veen’s early opener threatened to end the new Rangers manager’s unbeaten Premiership record but Tavernier’s free-kick ensured the teams went in level at the break. It was the Light Blues who roared out the traps at the start of the second period as Fashion Sakala headed home.

It wasn’t quite plain sailing from that point as Steelmen substitute Bevis Mugabi squared things up at 2-2 when the Ibrox defence fell apart at a corner. But Gers ultimately eased to their 12th win from 13 league games under the Londoner as goals from Todd Cantwell and Malik Tillman killed off the hosts, who finished with 10-men after Callum Slattery was sent off for two bookings.
