Rangers v Motherwell: title push meets top-four bid | OneFootball

Rangers host Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership on Sunday, 26 April 2026 at Ibrox Stadium, with the hosts looking to apply pressure in the title race and the visitors aiming to consolidate fourth place.

These sides drew in February, while Rangers edged the Ibrox meeting in December. The head to head has often tilted towards the hosts, but Motherwell have taken points in recent clashes to suggest a tighter contest.

Rangers are unbeaten in five league games, winning four in a row and scoring six at Falkirk along the way. Motherwell have hit a sticky spell with four defeats in their last five league outings, the exception a goalless draw against Hibernian.

The hosts' season profile points to control and threat: 66 league goals, 58% possession and 520 open play crosses with 21.35% accuracy. They have 12 headed goals and set piece delivery from James Tavernier, while Youssef Chermiti leads their league scoring on 11 and Nicolas Raskin has seven assists. Motherwell have been tidy in possession at 59% with 85.78% pass accuracy and boast 17 clean sheets. Tawanda Maswanhise is the league's top scorer on 17, with Elijah Just adding seven goals and seven assists, and Callum Slattery supplying eight assists. The game could hinge on whether Rangers' crossing game breaks down a well drilled defence, or Maswanhise punishes space.

A win would lift Rangers to 72 points and could put them top. Motherwell would move to 57 points with victory and strengthen their grip on fourth place.
