Rangers had to come from behind to topple Motherwell in a six-goal thriller at Fir Park and close the gap on Celtic.
Michael Beale’s men travelled to Lanarkshire for the lunchtime kick off knowing they can try and apply some pressure on their city rivals and temporary cut the gap to six points, with Celtic facing off against Hibs in the east end of Glasgow. But they were made to work for the points against a resurgent Motherwell riding high after Stuart Kettlewell’s appointment. And it was the Steelmen who fired a warning to Michael Beale’s side, taking just 3 minutes to break the deadlock.
A ball over the top beat the Rangers offside trap and Max Johnston executed a perfect cross for Kevin van Veen to steer home from in the box. That goal in just 3 minutes seemed to rock Rangers as they huffed and puffed but struggled against Kettlewell’s organised side.
