Rangers warmed up for Monday's huge Old Firm by sweeping aside Motherwell as they ended the year on a high.
Michael Beale made it four wins out of four at the helm on his return to Ibrox, as he maintained a terrific 100 per cent start ahead of the showdown with Celtic. Beale named a stronger side ahead of the Scottish Premiership clash, with Borna Barisic returning to the fold. There was also a slot for Alex Lowry, with the youngster given his big chance ahead of next week's derby.
Barisic made an instant impact as he put in an excellent delivery which was met by Alfredo Morelos who headed past Kelly to put Rangers ahead. The Croatian was then at the heart of it again as he fired in a corner which found Connor Goldson whose header looped over the Motherwell keeper to double Rangers lead. The second half belonged to Malik Tillman who continued to impress for Beale with the Bayern Munich loan singing finding bags of space and linking up with Morelos.
