Match Facts
Motherwell are winless in 56 league meetings with Rangers (D15 L41), with this the Gers’ longest ever top-flight unbeaten run over an opponent.
Rangers are unbeaten in 28 league visits to Motherwell (W19 D9) since a 0-1 defeat on Boxing Day 2002. Only at Greenock Morton (41) and Kilmarnock (30) have the Gers ever had longer unbeaten away runs in the top-flight.
Motherwell have failed to win any of their last seven home Scottish Premiership matches (D3 L4), their longest winless run since February (run of nine).
Rangers have lost each of their last three away league games played on Christmas Eve, defeats to Ayr United in 1960 (0-1), Aberdeen in 1977 (0-4), and St. Mirren in 2011 (1-2). Their last such win came in 1949, beating Partick Thistle 3-1.
Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell has lost all seven of his previous league matches against Rangers, losing three as part of a managerial duo with Steven Ferguson at Ross County, two as Ross County manager, and two whilst in charge of Motherwell. His sides have failed to score in six of those seven games.
