Wilkinson's first-half strike was the decisive moment of the game
Rangers climbed to the top of the SWPL with an assured victory over Motherwell at K Park stadium.
Katie Wilkinson put Rangers visitors ahead inside the opening 10 minutes, glancing her header beyond the goalkeeper after a smart delivery from Lizzie Arnot.
Wilkinson continued to probe and came close to adding to her tally as she hit the crossbar, with a Kirsty Howat effort also going close.
Motherwell came close to a late equaliser through Lucy Barclay but Jenna Fife got down well to maintain her side's lead.
