    Bringthemonjpn: Rangers play their best football when they lose the wee early goal. Think Gerrard had that in the game plan... This could finish 3-5.

    Tom Aldred fouls Alfredo Morelos and the pair get in a tangle jostling as they await the free-kick.

    Rangers cannot make the most of the set piece.

    The first half reaches its midway stage and it's been hard to keep up so far.

    Can both these sides maintain this pace and intensity?

    Absolutely fantastic ball in from Bigirimana. McHugh didn't even have to jump - he just steered it into the far corner. Massive question marks over the Rangers defending.

    What a game this is in Lanarkshire. The fight Motherwell were so famed for last season has been evident in spades.

    Rangers so dangerous coming forward, though, and Lafferty gives them something completely different up beside Morelos.

    Carl McHugh

    Incredible. No sooner are they pegged back than Motherwell get ahead again.

    Gael Bigirimana's deep free-kick is inviting and Carl McHugh peels off his marker to loop a superbly placed header over Allan McGregor into the net.

    Kyle Lafferty

    He was brought back to Rangers to make an impact and Kyle Lafferty brings his side level, with a bit of help from Motherwell's Richard Tait.

    Lafferty hovers at the edge of the box after Borna Barisic's cross is cleared and his volley is diverted into the net off Tait.

    Motherwell are up for this. Gael Bigirimana steals possession from Ryan Jack and Allan Campbell drives forward only to be fouled by Andy Halliday.

    The Steelmen cannot get the ball to stick in attack but their confidence is plain to see after scoring their first Premiership goal of the season.

    It is a terrible mistake from Goldson. He slipped and Danny Johnson was just chasing a lost cause. It's a fantastic start for Motherwell, and that solid Rangers defence has been breached already. It will be interesting to see how they cope as they have never been behind yet under Gerrard.

    Fir Park now bouncing in the rain and what a game we have on our hands after that early Motherwell goal. It’s been all Rangers, though, as they push and push for a leveller - 100mph so far.
