Motherwell threaten to break again and young substitute Bailey Rice is booked for a professional foul.

Rangers on the ropes!

Rangers' defence looks all at sea and Connor Goldson this time has to clear off the line.

However, Well forward Oli Shaw was already offside in the build-up.

Motherwell are piling on the pressure.

Conor Wilkinson sends a powerful low drive at goalkeeper Jack Butland from an acute angle then fellow sub striker Oli Shaw has a shot blocked in front of goal.

Motherwell carve out another chance and Rangers have captain James Tavernier to thank for a knee off the line.

Callum Slattery plays a neat one-two with Blair Spittal and the midfielder's low 12-yard drive takes a deflection past goalkeeper Jack Butland, who is saved by his backtracking right-back.

The tension is rising around Ibrox as the home faithful pray their side can hold on to this lead in the closing minutes.

Such has been the challenge posed by a sprightly Motherwell.

Rangers have thrown on a few subs but are looking like their midweek European exertions are catching up with them and it's Motherwell who look the more energetic in the closing stages.

That was the big chance Motherwell were waiting for.

Theo Bair plays in substitute strike partner Oli Shaw, but the on-loan Barnsley man fires straight at Jack Butland.

The goalkeeper stands firm and saves again on the rebound. Ibrox breathes again.

Rangers are knocking on the door again, but Motherwell are holding firm and left-back Borna Barisic sends a right-foot drive well over.

A standing ovation at Pittodrie as two of today's goal heroes - Bojan Miovski and Duk - come off. The last 15 minutes gives a chance for Ester Sokler and Pape Habib Gueye to show what they can do in their place.

Aberdeen very much in cruise control here.

Can County claw anything back?

Another injury worry for Rangers as influential centre-half Connor Goldson is down after being clipped by Theo Bair.

Whatever happens from now until the final whistle, Motherwell have stood toe-to-toe with their more illustrious and expensively assembled hosts and more than held their own.

Motherwell remain dangerous themselves.

But Theo Bair, who is one-on-one with Connor Goldson, wastes a chance on the breakaway with a poor pass to the overlapping Lennon Miller.

Rangers must have been listening to me as they burst into life and force Liam Kelly into two good saves in quick succession.

First, Sam Lammers finds Cyriel Dessers to sting the hands of the goalkeeper before the former has a similarly powerful drive beaten away by the Scotland squad man.

How often is it the case in a domestic game when Rangers are having to protect a lead while playing on the counter?

The fans are getting a little bit agitated. If Motherwell can hang in for as long as they possibly can then you never know.

Eamonn Brophy is on for Simon Murray up front as County chase a consolation.

Having been their goalscorer in their last two outings, Murray saw very little of the ball on a dull afternoon for the visiting frontman.

A late challenge on Scott Wright and Motherwell's teenage midfielder, Lennon Miller, is the latest to go into the referee's book.

However, the visitors are still not out of this game by any means.

Talking of Cyriel Dessers, the forward goes down under a challenge from Motherwell goalkeeper Liam Kelly.

However, the flag goes up against the big striker, who was clearly offside.

One thing is for sure - Dessers is low on confidence. I think he is toiling for his best form.
