Rangers will be looking to win their third straight match when they host Motherwell at the Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow on Saturday.

Rangers vs Motherwell – Match preview and team news

Rangers team news

The squad is riding a wave of confidence following successive league victories over Aberdeen and Falkirk, heavily propelled by the stellar form of summer signing Lawrence Shankland.

The in-form striker has carried the team’s offensive load, netting all of Rangers’ last three goals, including a decisive brace in their previous outing.

With the transfer window now officially closed, McInnes is eager to integrate his late deadline-day acquisitions into the matchday squad.

New arrivals, including forward Kevin Kelsy and winger Badredine Bouanani, have trained with the team and are fully expected to be in contention for a place in the lineup.

Conversely, the manager will have to adapt his midfield options following the late departure of Thelo Aasgaard, who recently completed a loan move to Anderlecht.

Motherwell team news

Alfred Johansson is expected to reward the trio of Seb Palmer-Houlden, Alex Lowry, and Tawanda Maswanhise by retaining them in the starting lineup to spearhead the attack after all of them were involved in goals in the last match.

However, the manager must navigate a few significant squad absences, as Jordan McGhee, Callum Hendry, and Paul McGinn remain completely sidelined with ongoing injuries.

On a more positive note, the squad has been bolstered by the arrival of midfielder Dylan Levitt from Leyton Orient, who is fully fit and made his debut off the bench last time.

Johansson will rely on a settled backline featuring Martin Moormann and Jamie Knight-Level to stifle the hosts’ attack.

Form

Rangers

Rangers enter this fixture in excellent domestic form, chasing a third consecutive league victory. After a mixed start to the campaign, Derek McInnes’s side found their rhythm with a hard-fought win over Aberdeen, followed by a commanding victory against Falkirk. Striker Lawrence Shankland has been the catalyst for this resurgence, scoring all three of the club’s recent goals to lift the team up the Premiership standings ahead of this weekend’s clash.

Motherwell

Motherwell have enjoyed a spectacular, unbeaten start to the season, currently flying high in fourth place in the Scottish Premiership. Alfred Johansson’s side has shown immense defensive solidity and clinical attacking flair, resulting in a dominant 3-0 routing of Dundee United in their last outing. With key forwards Seb Palmer-Houlden, Alex Lowry, and Tawanda Maswanhise all in fine form, the Steelmen carry immense momentum into Ibrox.

Predicted lineups

Rangers: Pandur; Nedeljkovic, Fernandez, Makhanya, Penrice; Raskin, Devlin; Curtis, Kim, Gassama; Shankland

Motherwell: Paulsen; Sparrow, Knight-Lebel, Moorman, Longelo; Fadinger, Hodge; Maswanhise, Lowry; Kanga, Palmer-Houlden
