    Motherwell 1-3 Rangers

    Neil McCann

    Fashion Sakala's touch is sublime. It shows you how effective going direct can be

  2. GREAT SAVE!

    Motherwell 1-3 Rangers

    Should be four for Rangers.

    A superb long ball out of defence from Connor Goldson is pulled down excellently behind the defence from Fashion Sakala.

    However, the striker is unable to lift his shot over Liam Kelly and the goalkeeper is able to block it clear.

  3. 'Passive Motherwell'

    Motherwell 1-3 Rangers

    It's all in front of Rangers just now. Motherwell need runners in behind to create that space for the midfielders to get on it. At the moment, it just seems to be a bit more passive

  4. Motherwell 1-3 Rangers

    Despite being down to 10 men, it is still Rangers who are the more threatening.

    After a good break by goalscorer Scott Wright, Borna Barisic tries a pot shot, but the left-back's effort is off target.

    No signs of a late Motherwell fightback.

  5. Well pay penalty

  6. Both sides make changes

    Motherwell 1-3 Rangers

    Both managers roll the substitutes' dice.

    James Sands and Joe Aribo replace Scott Arfield and Glen Kamara in Rangers' midfield.

    Forwards Kaiyne Woolery and Justin Amaluzor, plus midfielder Mark O'Hara, are on for Motherwell in place of midfielder Sean Goss, defender Bevis Mugabi and Joe Efford, who has been fairly anonymous up front.

  7. 'Motherwell need to be brave'

    Motherwell 1-3 Rangers

    David Clarkson
    Former Motherwell forward on BBC Sportsound

    Rangers are causing Motherwell all sorts of problems still with 10 men. There maybe needs to be a formational change to try and get themselves back in this game somehow and be brave with it

  8. Motherwell 1-3 Rangers

    Motherwell are not out of this yet and James Tavernier has to concede a corner as he lashes clear.

    From Sean Goss' fine delivery, Calvin Bassey has to head clear from under his own bar.

  9. Correct decision?

    Motherwell 1-3 Rangers

    Neil McCann
    Former Rangers winger on BBC Sportsound

    It's a brilliant run from Fashion Sakala. When he drives into the box, I think there was a bump, but then he had a bit of clear air and Bevis Mugabi makes the challenge. I thought he won the ball then had another little go at it. Nick Walsh feels it's a penalty

    James Tavernier, penalty, goal. Home many times have we said that?

    Rangers' captain launches his spot kick into the corner of the net to give the visitors' 10 men a two-goal breathing space.

  12. YELLOW CARD Slattery (Motherwell)

    Motherwell 1-2 Rangers

    The yellow card count is mounting as Motherwell midfielder Callum Slattery pulls down Borna Barisic.

  13. Motherwell 1-2 Rangers

    Rangers substitutes John Lundstram and Joe Aribo are warming up as fellow midfielder Glen Kamara indicates he might have a problem.

  14. 10 looking like 11

    Motherwell 1-2 Rangers

    David Clarkson
    Former Motherwell forward on BBC Sportsound

    Motherwell need to again settle into this game, get a bit of control of it. Rangers look like they're playing with 11 again

  15. 'A really good Rangers goal'

    Motherwell 1-2 Rangers

    Neil McCann
    Former Rangers winger on BBC Sportsound

    He's done this before where he shapes and takes an extra touch. It's gone through the legs of the defender. It's a really good finish from Scott Wright. Fashion Sakala - his purpose, his willingness just to shrug off the challenge. It's a really good Rangers goal

  16. goal

    GOAL Motherwell 1-2 Rangers

    Scott Wright

    Some start!

    There are question marks about whether Scott Wright got the last touch for the first goal, but there's no mistake with this one.

    A superb bursting run from Fashion Sakala and he sets up his fellow forward for a low drive into the far corner from the edge of the Motherwell penalty box.

    Advantage Rangers' 10 men!

    Goal

  17. KICK-OFF SECOND HALF

    Motherwell 1-1 Rangers

    Rangers get the second half under way needing to recover from that Leon Balogun red card and Ross Tierney equaliser.

    If they don't, it will probably be curtains for their hopes of catching Celtic at the top of the Premiership table this season.

  19. Livi boss Martindale missing after hospital stay

    Aberdeen v Livingston (15:00)

    Just a word about this afternoon's game at Pittodrie.

    Livingston manager David Martindale will be missing from the touchline after spending a night in hospital.

    The 47-year-old was taken in on Friday with severe abdominal pain, which has been diagnosed as kidney stones. The club say he is recovering well.

    Assistant Marvin Bartley will be in charge at Pittodrie for the club's first bottom-six fixture, but the former midfielder will be in the stand as he himself is serving a touchline ban.

  20. Seismic moment in title battle?

    HT: Motherwell 1-1 Rangers

    Tom English
    BBC Scotland's chief sports writer

    Rangers started really well and had a few chances. But they are looking a bit shaky after the red card and goal - and this could be a seismic moment in the battle for the title
