Rangers v Motherwell: hosts chase first home league points against unbeaten visitors | OneFootball

Rangers face Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership at Ibrox Stadium on Saturday, 5 September 2026, with the hosts aiming to climb from sixth while the visitors defend an unbeaten start in fourth.

The head-to-head record has favoured Rangers overall (64% of meetings), yet Motherwell won 3-2 at Ibrox in April, a reminder the visitors can travel well to Glasgow.

Derek McInnes' side have steadied after taking one point from their opening two league games, winning away at Aberdeen and Falkirk to reach seven points. Alfred Johansson's men are four league matches unbeaten with two wins and two draws, scoring eight and conceding four, including a 3-0 home victory over Dundee United last time out.

Rangers average 60% possession and have delivered 74 open play crosses with 21.62% accuracy this league season, a platform that could supply Lawrence Shankland, who has three Premiership goals. Motherwell's build-up has been tidy, with 59% possession and 89.38% passing accuracy, while their goals are spread across the attack and Tawanda Maswanhise has provided two assists.

Rangers sit on seven points and a win would move them to 10, potentially pushing them towards the top four picture and delivering their first home league points of the campaign. Motherwell are on eight and victory would take them to 11, reinforcing a strong start near the upper positions.
