Motherwell v Rangers XI's confirmed as Kemar Roofe deputy identified and Steelmen miss captain

Motherwell and Rangers have confirmed their starting XI's for today's match at Fir Park.

Captain Stephen O'Donnell and talisman Kevin Van Veen are both missing for Fir Park boss Graham Alexander, with centre-back Sondre Solholm also missing.

Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst has also made big calls amid injuries to key strikers Kemar Roofe and Alfredo Morelos.

Amad Diallo, Scott Wright and Fashion Sakala make up the forward line in a new look for the league champions.

Proceedings at Fir Park have been moved to this afternoon after a Light Blues request for it to be switched from Sunday as they prepare for a Europa League semi-final with RB Leipzig.

The Steelmen come into this game sixth after clinching a top half finish against Livingston with a dramatic 2-2 draw at Livingston.

They know either a fourth or fifth place finish would clinch a spot in next season's Europa League qualifiers, competing with Dundee United and Ross County for those places.

Motherwell XI: Kelly, Mugabi, Lamie, Ojala, Carroll, Cornelius, Goss, Slattery, Tierney, Efford, Shields

Subs: Fox, Connelly, Woolery, O'Hara, Shaw, Amaluzor, Donnelly, Grimshaw, Nirennold.

Rangers XI: McGregor, Tavernier, Goldson, Balogun, Barisic, Davis, Kamara, Arfield, Diallo, Sakala, Wright.

Subs: McLaughlin, Bassey, King, Lundstram, Jack, Aribo, Sands, Itten, Kent.
