Motherwell 0 – 2 Rangers


Early goals from Todd Cantwell and Kieran Dowell goals saw Rangers to a 2-0 win at Motherwell, extending the Gers’ unbeaten run under Philippe Clement to 16 games.

“They’re not hanging around here,” was the exclamation from Ian Crocker on Sky Sports commentary as Rangers raced into a lead inside 16 minutes.

Dowell set the visitors in their way in the fourth minute, firing home a wonderful effort. A neat link-up between Brighton loanee Abdallah Sima and Cantwell saw the latter double Rangers’ lead 14 minutes later.

Liam Kelly made sure the first-half lead was not extended and Motherwell did improve after the break, but did not register a shot on target. They extend their own winless run to 15 games.

Rangers once again go two points behind Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic – the two meet in the Old Firm on December 30, live on Sky Sports – and are now 57 league matches unbeaten against Motherwell.
