    Motherwell 0-1 Rangers

    That should have been 1-1.

    Motherwell capitalise on slack Rangers play in defence and right midfielder Chris Cadden lays the ball on a plate for Louis Moult at the back post but the big striker's volley is too high. A great chance.

    "The home side struggling to deal with the speed and movement in the Rangers midfield - they're attacking in numbers and with a real intensity. Motherwell need to find their feet here."

    A better run and cross from Josh Windass forces Cedric Kipre to clear. An important intervention for the hosts.

    "Dorrans wheels away clutching the Rangers badge on his chest as the away fans go wild. Great goal but big questions for the Motherwell defence."

    Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson: "We've started brightly, we've won four out of four [in the League Cup]. We're confident going into the game.

    "I'm sure [Rangers manager] Pedro [Caixinha] will have them well prepared.

    "We want to stay in the division, simple as that. There's still a lot of room for improvement.

    "Hopefully, we can get one, possibly two before the end of the [transfer] window."

    "Really intriguing tie in prospect here in Lanarkshire. Motherwell field five summer signings - Rangers play six.

    "The home side have been flying in the League Cup and Rangers have been using friendly matches as a means to lick their wounds following that Europa League exit.

    "It's game one, but what a chance for both sides to show their fans what they'll be about this season."

    Motherwell v Rangers (13:30)

    Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha is confident the club's fans will have a lot more to smile about this season.

    In his pre-match interview with Rangers TV, he also revealed he will go with a 4-4-2 again today.

    Caixinha said: “We are really looking forward to today. We are starting in the real world and now we want to start with three points.

    “The players are having good associations and dynamics so we keep it like that. We need to keep building on that.

    “This is a big season for all of us. It’s important the work we are doing and it’s important to have the support of everyone, with everyone working in the same direction because only like that can you achieve your goals.

    “I do believe it’s going to be a totally different season, we need to go according to the culture, traditions and history of the club. I think, and I have good feelings, that this is going to be a very good season for us.”
