    FT: Rangers 2-1 Motherwell

    Motherwell sit fourth after their second defeat on the spin.

    Manager Stephen Robinson will be frustrated to lose but will be happier with the spirit shown after a surprise 3-0 capitulation to Aberdeen last week.

    The Steelmen now have two home games to look forward to, against Kilmarnock and Livingston.

    The hosts pushed and pushed and finally found the winner when Filip Helander nodded in from a Tavernier corner.

    Not a vintage performance from Rangers but fans won't be overly concerned with three points in the bag.

    Simple. James Tavernier delivers a corner from the right and Swedish defender Filip Helander is there to power in a header.

    That's his first goal for the Ibrox club since arriving from Serie A in the summer.

    Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson is urging his men to keep their heads and keep their shape at Ibrox.

    Could the visitors snatch a first league win at Ibrox since May 1997?

    Something tells me he'd be happy with a point at this stage.
