Rangers - Motherwell

Lawrence Shankland leads the Rangers attack as they return to Ibrox Stadium on 5 September 2026 for this Premiership matchday 6 encounter. The forward has been central to his side's recent domestic revival, contributing to back-to-back league victories against Aberdeen and Falkirk. With Ivor Pandur expected to start in goal behind a defensive line including Kosta Nedeljkovic and Emmanuel Fernandez, the hosts aim to maintain their momentum after navigating a demanding early-season schedule across multiple competitions.

Motherwell arrive in Glasgow following a dominant 3-0 win over Dundee United, a result that highlights their attacking threat through Seb Palmer Houlden and Tawanda Maswanhise. The visitors have shown resilience in recent weeks, though their defensive setup will face a stern test against the Rangers midfield pairing of Nicolas Raskin and Cameron Devlin. Given the competitive nature of their recent head-to-head meetings, including a 3-2 victory for Motherwell in April, this match promises a tactical battle for control in the middle of the park.
