Shane Ferguson is on for his Rangers debut, having arrived injured from Newcastle in January. He's only played two games all season as far as I can see, both internationals for Northern Ireland. Defender Marius Zaliukas is the man to make way.

Motherwell are in the hunt for goal number four as Lionel Ainsworth blazes a shot high over the crossbar, with the Rangers defence all at sea trying to defend a low delivery from Marvin Johnson.

Motherwell defender Louis Laing goes in the book for a clumsy hack at Kenny Miller.

Tom Walsh looks to inspire his more experienced team-mates as he goes it alone but the Rangers substitute's strike from distance is a long way off target.

There are just 950 Motherwell fans packed into a small corner of the stadium but they are making quite a racket as Lionel Ainsworth sets up a corner kick in front of them. The home supporters have gone very quiet as the visitors continue to look sharp on the break.

And that was to be Nicky Clark's last contribution, with Kris Boyd taking his place up front.

Tom Walsh gets a nice early touch as the 18-year-old pings in a cross from the right for Nicky Clark to head high and wide.

Rangers make a change, with teenager Tom Walsh on for Dean Shiels.

The home fans are screaming for a penalty as the ball pops up off Marvin Johnson's knee and strikes his hand. Nothing doing from referee Bobby Madden... It was very similar to the Dean Shiels incident at Easter Road on Saturday and Rangers got the benefit of the doubt on that occasion.

Rangers respond as Haris Vuckic races on to a throw-in and it needs a good save from George Long at his near post to deny the Slovenian playmaker.

Is that game over? Stephen Pearson bounds forward through the middle of the park and slips a pass to Lee Erwin. The Motherwell striker then cuts inside and lays off a pass to Lionel Ainsworth, who smashes home a low shot from the edge of the penalty box. It went right through keeper Cammy Bell but the ball was really moving...

Motherwell get us back up and running...

Here come Motherwell, with a spring in their step, for the second half. The home side follow 30 seconds or so later and get a rousing reception from the packed stands.

You'll need to stay up late if you want to see highlights of this match. Sportscene is on BBC Two Scotland at 23:50 and there will be online highlights available from midnight.

And what next for Motherwell? Do the visitors sit in and protect their lead? A third goal would surely kill the tie ahead of Sunday's second leg at Fir Park. "Same again, lads," will be the message from manager Ian Baraclough.

How do Rangers respond to this setback? The subs are out warming up but there's not much there in terms of attacking options. Will forgotten man Kris Boyd get the chance to be a hero?

Loud boos ring out at Ibrox as the teams trot up the tunnel. Motherwell were under the cosh for 25 minutes but goals from Lee Erwin and Stephen McManus have put the visitors in control of this tie.

David B on Twitter: "Pleasantly surprised so far, Motherwell seem to be back on form #bbcscotfootball"

Stephen McManus takes a big risk with a header back to his goalkeeper and Kenny Miller is haring after it. Out comes George Long with a brave, diving punch and he clatters into the advancing striker.
