Kirsty Howat scored Rangers' second goal at Broadwood

Rangers survived a late scare to beat Motherwell 2-1 and move second in the SWPL.

Brogan Hay put Rangers in front when the winger found the back of the net following a double save from Motherwell goalkeeper Rebecca Cameron.

Striker Katie Wilkinson thought she had doubled the hosts' advantage late on in the second half but she was flagged for offside.

Kirsty Howat grabbed the second in the early stages of the second half when she latched onto a cutting pass through the heart of the Motherwell team.

Carla Boyce pulled one back for the visitors with 10 minutes left to play at Broadwood but couldn't snatch a point.

The result leaves Rangers two points behind Celtic at the top of the table before next weekend's Old Firm clash.
