00:00Rangers both under new management and they're 76 days after the final day of
00:05last season's Scottish Premiership it's back here we go again
00:12new season new beginnings for Motherwell and Rangers
00:28let's have a look at the opening day lineups five new arrivals make their Premiership debuts for
00:38Motherwell Callum Ward Emmanuel Longelo Lucas Fardinga Elliot Watt and Elijah just and there's
00:44one more on the bench Ibrahim Saeed Apostolos Stamatolopoulos plays his first league game since
00:50scoring against Rangers here last December he missed the rest of the season through injury
00:55still no Lennon Miller who is set to move on four players make their Premiership debuts for Rangers
01:05Nasser Jiga Max Aarons Joe Rothwell and neuro hero JD Kassama he replaces Finley Curtis in the only
01:13change from Athens two more new signings make the bench Lyle Cameron and Emmanuel Fernandes still
01:19no Tello Asgard or Hamza Igerman both injured and Mikey Moore is awaiting paperwork
01:24well there's hitting the ground running and there's JD Kassama he certainly announced his arrival at
01:33Rangers by coming on to score in both legs against Panifunaikos definitely time for a start
01:40Wanda Masuanhise is capable of good things too he scored Motherwell's goal of the season
01:49against Rangers here last season there is something about him
01:53bosses know each other rather well they were teammates of Norwich City
02:0015 years ago when they won the league one title together
02:04Steve McLean is the referee with Andrew Dallas on VAR
02:11from the Rangers dugout back to the TV gantry with more inside info than ever
02:18what are you expecting today Neil McCann well hopefully I stay out of subtle
02:21up here Ian but I think this is going to be an incredibly open game of football both managers
02:28have set the tone before the game about how they want to approach it it's a marker of how both sets of
02:34fans have seen their teams perform this season it promises goals don't want to jinx it but
02:40it should be a pretty exciting match the Rangers have passed the first of
02:46many tests by seeing off Panifunaikos but there are more challenges ahead every single week and
02:55Motherwell with what immediately on the front foot here looking to start the season in style but
03:01it's cleared by John Suter yeah well there you go right away just Motherwell asking questions of
03:06Rangers John Suter has been superb for them in the heart of that defence but Slattery
03:11slightly playing an advanced role wondered if he might sit a bit deeper but he's already picking up
03:16look at home today they want to open up their account but that risk is there as you see
03:25Danilo has pounced on that Kasama with the cross
03:29as well against Stamatopoulos
03:44a lively start Ian we did call it
03:49more Diamandie just uh breaking out of the box which
03:53he's trying to uh he's trying to do he takes it on the chest I don't think there's anything in it I think
03:56Tom McGinn comes in tough but yeah nothing for me
04:12so Martin has done it his way at MK Dons Swansea Southampton and it's not going to change too much at
04:18Rangers no he's certainly uh got a distinctive style play fullbacks inverted in
04:26they started the game out in plan of an eye course with a more traditional look up at a back four but
04:30it's still very narrow in but I think the principles are still going to be the same but
04:34you can see already the muddle players are trying to inject enthusiasm into the game they want to
04:40trap Rangers they know Rangers going to try and play through them so they're setting their stall out pretty high
04:44yes that was to be expected by mother well from the off they had some good moments and not so good
04:53moments in their league cup group stage but early signs of early promise for them
04:59okay we'll take this throw
05:09five new signings in the starting lineup of motherwell he's managed to get his cross in which
05:13aarons will clear likewise suitor
05:24didn't go up eventually yeah that's when he's just a little slow coming out
05:26but he's a player that's been highlighted by the boys before the game left to find pace got an eye for
05:33goal he's already shown there this season but look at the way mother are sitting just now
05:38slattery right up top of suitor
05:44pass from aarons but it matters not for now
05:54motherwell we're expecting to be looking for a new manager but when michael wimmer decided to
05:58return home they appointed jens beryl asco danish head coach
06:08addinga
06:12looked quite impressive in those league cup ties and he's got a bit of bite about him as well
06:19figure for tavernier
06:24diamante
06:31claiming a handball there but rangers are on the move with cassava
06:38in a promising position and james tavernier will come across yeah a nice start to the game for
06:47him cassava committing people going inside just gets clipped by him
06:52mass when he's tracking back but already a statement of intent that he's prepared to go
06:56at people he's come up here with a reputation that he can go inside outside and a bit of a live
07:01wire and since germany's gone ian i think rangers had to find a player like that just to inject a bit of
07:07threatening at the final third first chance for certain james tavernier you would feel though
07:12well across a decade at rangers now james tavernier has
07:16scored seven goals at fur park more than at any other away ground
07:24that doesn't give him the big build-up what does
07:29so often he's been a guy to ignite things for rangers
07:32there's a few waiting for a cross
07:39tavernier though does go for goal and it's forced
07:42callum ward into the save yeah it's comfortable i think for callum ward he's just not taking any
07:48chances here in a match
07:52certainly trying to find that top corner but it's comfortable in the end
07:55joe rothwell will take this corner one promotion to the
08:01premier league with russell martin at southampton and then when they did it again with leeds united
08:06last season
08:11an early chance for an early goal for rangers at fur park
08:15floated in by rothwell and niko raskan who does leap well heads over he's very good in there he's not as
08:22small as you think as well but he's um interestingly they've gone a little mix of zonal because the
08:28six yard box mother one for picking up and niko raskan whoever was picking up they are certainly
08:33lost his markup it's a threat that they'll need to be wary of model
08:36and on slattery has become a pivotal player and really hit top form when he came back from his acl
08:47injury last season
08:54gordon closed down by danilo
08:58what mother will have got ian is three midfielders that will look to come and take the ball to feet
09:03but with that they still retain a threat over the top with the the two quick boys
09:07mass when he see there it's the mattelopoulos as well for that threat and behind
09:15motherwall have opened the scoring against rangers in their last
09:19three meetings with them and actually went two nil up in two of them let's not talk about that one
09:25either that's the what i might have to mention that again later sorry about that thanks
09:41that's when he say stopped by aries
09:55johnny katrumbus takes the throw
10:07diamante can't find a way out elijah just new zealand international poked that one into the box
10:15aaron's hardly played last season for bournemouth and then when he went on loan
10:29to valencia he's only a win in five games for valencia came against real madrid in the bird of
10:35about mine well if you're going to win somewhere
10:44tabernier diamante
10:52that's uh giga on loan from will have to wanderers
10:55there's a leap from rothwell
11:02joe rothwell very lucky there you know come off his heel
11:06raskan
11:11kusama
11:13you wouldn't have been surprised if that had killed it really nice effort
11:18little top inside from nico raskan and danilo's just shown brilliant little position just cushions it
11:24takes it first time kusama and it's not too far away you know
11:32the weather aiming to win back-to-back games against rangers in the league for the first time since 1960.
11:44max aaron's getting really tight with mask when you see
11:46he throws the foul forward but he's a he's a player i think is a he's done very well for muddle
11:57they're going to align him in terms of his pace his creativity and his goal threat today
12:02and what has picked out johnny katrumbus
12:09as a tiger intervene
12:12momentarily some worried rangers fans behind that goal yeah that was cool it's not deliberate of
12:19course back to jack butland
12:23johnny katrumbus just uh making sure that kasama knows that he's just not going to park himself he's
12:29going to ask him some questions defensively also
12:37tavern here
12:39kieran dow has started all three games under russell martin now
12:45and being unknown at birmingham in the second half of last season
12:49aaron's
12:58is back to suta
13:01aaron's trying to recover this situation but he's failed to do so stamatolopoulos looking for
13:08a kind of slattery
13:15the rangers getting into their groove now
13:18crisp passes
13:21demand a towel to the right
13:24rothwell back on it
13:27composed play wasn't it under pressure it's nothing from giga
13:30here's kasama some burst into the box but he couldn't pick out a pass
13:39yeah it's a really good read though but nice interchange with raskin again kasama
13:57has won that duel but a really disappointing cross yeah two good areas at kasama and
14:27raskin get into but poor quality under the box eventually
14:31that's where he turned into suta here's danilo
14:35oh it's off the top of the bar from the man who has been scoring a few pre-season
14:41this is such a clever effort you know it's one of the things that we spoke about when we were in
14:45there last season he is he's such a clever finisher very rarely will he go for power and you can
14:51just see that as an indication of the type of thing i'm talking about he's trying to just flight
14:56that towards the top corner that's inches
15:03to play out horribly wrong there well
15:09it's not the type of quality that mcgin is known for he's generally pretty useful on the ball but
15:15it was horrible it was horrible it's gifted rangers corner
15:28but still quite often the go-to guy in his 11th season at rangers
15:33Joe Rothwell again
15:39making the signals
15:41and it's gone in
15:44from James Tavenier
15:46so often the fall guy lately
15:51but still quite often
15:53the go-to guy
15:55in his 11th season at Rangers
15:57he's given them an early lead
15:59at Fur Park
16:00speaking about that earlier
16:03he's the go-to guy
16:05he's done it again
16:07it's probably not the area
16:08we expected maybe today
16:10but we spoke about that
16:11line-up that Murrow have
16:13oh is he offside
16:14I don't think he's interfering with playing
16:16Kassama is not interfering for me
16:18but Tavenier is up early
16:21and he's a really good header
16:22he gets plenty of power on it
16:23it's down as well
16:25it's a really tough one
16:26for Callum Wart to get
16:27his left hand to
16:29and that's a brilliant opener for Rangers
16:32exactly what they're looking for
16:33he's well above his marker
16:35and a really solid header
16:36the relations will be asked Ian
16:43about the zonal marking
16:44the picking up
16:45who's responsible here
16:47Slattery has got his cross wrong
16:50well we mentioned Tavenier's goal scoring record at Fur Park
16:53he's now got eight here
16:55his favourite away ground
16:57in the 21st century
17:00only one other visiting player
17:01has scored eight goals at Fur Park
17:04and that was Anthony Stoops
17:06well again
17:08we're talking about the risks
17:09from both teams today
17:11and it's Paul McGinn
17:12with a horrible effort
17:14at trying to play it from the back
17:15just concedes that corner
17:17with Rangers eventually
17:18opening up the scoring from
17:19Kassama
17:23they're on the move again
17:26Nico Raskan
17:28Raskan has caught
17:30Fadinga there
17:31free kick
17:32from Motherwell
17:33pretty straightforward
17:37Fadinga just working back in
17:39Nico Raskan trying to make the angle
17:41for the shot
17:41the Rangers fans packing out
18:01that end of Fur Park
18:03happy with their lot
18:05at the moment
18:06Max Ahrens will get the
18:12free kick off
18:13Mast Winise
18:14just looking for
18:41Stanatholopoulos
18:42but John Suter tidies up
18:44he got himself in a good position
18:46John Suter
18:46he realised that he's looking
18:48for that well
18:48Tartan run in the
18:49in behind
18:51into the corner
18:52playing very traditional
18:55now
18:55no one vetted
18:56fullbacks as yet
18:58under
18:58Russell Martin today
19:00in his first game in charge
19:01in the league
19:01oh
19:03he got it
19:04he's hit
19:06Elijah Justin
19:07can have sat very close
19:08here
19:09yeah
19:10just had a little
19:13look and tried to
19:13read the pass
19:14back to Jack
19:15Buckland but
19:15Giga was composed
19:16Dowell
19:21on Gelo in the way
19:24Gordon now
19:33Gordon now form again
19:34Gordon now form again
19:34Gordon now form again
19:36the well so
19:38callous and conceding
19:39the corner
19:39then to the goal
19:41Danilo's going to
19:42pounce on this as well
19:42he's got a bit to do
19:44with Liam Gordon
19:44in his way
19:45but another corner
19:47to test Motherwell
19:48yeah good work from
19:48Kieran Dowell
19:49I think it's probably
19:49one of the huge reasons
19:51why he's in the team
19:52because he's worked
19:53right out on that side
19:54robs it and plays
19:55a nice little pass
19:56to Danilo who's
19:57looked sharp
19:58you have to say
19:58another corner to test Motherwell
20:14to test Motherwell
20:16Ruffwell with a different
20:21ploy this time
20:22free kick has been given
20:24to Motherwell
20:26powered by Dowell I think
20:28yeah not really sure
20:31what was going on there
20:32I'm not sure if it's
20:36just a bad delivery
20:37or trying something
20:38off the training field
20:39again won't be
20:43hanging around this
20:44time
20:44Angelo
20:50he's come from
20:59Birmingham
21:00although was in
21:00West Ham's academy
21:01scored a cracking goal
21:03it's been ahead
21:04in the league cup
21:04Emmanuel Mangello
21:06there'll be a few
21:18short fingernails
21:19in the third park
21:20this season
21:21Ian I feel
21:21might be already
21:25yeah
21:27but it's a clear indication
21:28how Jens wants to play
21:30definitely going to
21:31encourage them
21:31to be brave
21:34he's said already
21:35that they won't change
21:36because Rangers are here
21:37Celtic turn up to town
21:40I'm pretty sure
21:40it'll be the same message
21:41that's how he wants
21:43to operate
21:44feels it's the best way
21:45of breaking through teams
21:47but it's high risk
21:48that's for sure
21:49Aarons
22:00Raskan
22:02Adenga
22:06gives away the free kick
22:08robust referee in there
22:20from Stephen McLean
22:21get involved
22:22Suta
22:25Ziga
22:27it's the goal scorer
22:31Tavernier
22:32it's a lovely pass as well
22:34to Girondal
22:35left himself with a bit
22:37too much to do
22:38a good run
22:40I don't think he's going to run away
22:42from too many people
22:44but the intent was good
22:46the intent was good
22:46what is usually
22:54that composed on the ball
22:56just as well
22:57it was brilliant
22:58Reiter just, again from Galo, followed by Suter and Slattery.
23:21Touch tight John Suter, might have been the second one, he's really tight to Slattery as
23:26the ball gets fed through there. I'm not sure, I mean he's not an awful lot in that for me.
23:40Again, Longelo. Slattery.
23:53He's hanging in there, Callum Slattery to great effect.
24:00And they stop the cross.
24:07Slattery.
24:12Dal Raskan and blocked by Stephen McLean.
24:19Can happen.
24:20He can smile about her but Mo Di Amandie might not be smiling because he had pulled into a brilliant
24:25little area wide and Motherwell were wide open themselves.
24:32Let's not tell Stephen that after.
24:34Aarons.
24:41Aarons.
24:43Aarons.
24:48Aarons.
24:49Go.
24:50Go.
24:51Go.
24:52Go.
24:53Go.
24:57Go.
24:58Go.
24:59Go.
25:02Aidinger, Petrullus, that's what he say ahead but he's going for a different idea, stopped
25:24by Tavernier but he goes on to this and we've already seen he can hit them but didn't hold
25:30on to it echoes of last season there but Stamatolopoulos unable to turn in the rebound and now Buckland
25:39smothers well my thoughts what yours exactly being this very reminiscent of last season
25:45when he spilled one at Ibrox Jack and it ended up the back of his net but he's up quick there
25:51and makes a big stop Stamatolopoulos was very sharp to the rebound
26:00that's when he say and again Tika clears
26:09but then did make some important saves against Panifinaikos but that was a worrying moment
26:17for him
26:32Negin
26:36Elliot Watt, Smattery just, Petrullus, all the work getting their act together now
26:44but it's away from Mashmanise and from Stamatolopoulos
26:48yeah that's a really good move from Motherwell first of all the penetrating pass through from what was
26:53brilliant again and open Rangers up in this side but he doesn't need to hit it so hard just feel it
26:58into that area there's a 2v1 oh and you get the back post there just feel it in it's the same shape
27:04you're looking for it but just less pace on it
27:09yeah Motherwell certainly could have made more of that
27:13and Mande has let that one go
27:15what again
27:28Mande in the way
27:38Slattery
27:38Mande in the way
27:42Roger just
27:43Tavernier
27:46sorting that out
27:49by Gordon
27:53Raskan
27:55Kassama
28:02Tavernier returns it to John Suter
28:08Kassama
28:10looking at narrow that front line and midfielders
28:13they're so congested through the center of the pitch
28:22just
28:37the
28:39short tucked initially and then bundled over by Gordon
28:43real good pass again speaking about watch penetrating pass but that one comes from the back line
28:48of rangers is his mother were trying to congest the middle of the field they just left a gap
28:52straight through to the other fans applauding one of their own
29:09zakat gun part of the motherwell family
29:21kieran dowell now for rasgan and rasgan's got it back from tabernier
29:27caught in about three months there rasgan but it's a corner yeah he didn't have a lot of
29:32movement with danilo and gusama and then into the box i think he was looking just to
29:37whip it across the front he's just saying there to danilo i need you to go across the front of the
29:42face of the goalkeeper but again it's that short interchanging passing that's causing motherwell
29:48all sorts of trouble on both sides actually change of corner kick taker
29:58just having a score from the corner
30:00and he's looking again in by kieran dowell
30:08i'll tell you what tavernier was watching him as well he was free again
30:11they're just working on a kind of semi block rangers
30:23and he got that horribly wrong likewise with his pass which was passed upon
30:46by herons kusama raskan
30:55from this slides in and keeps it in
31:16the moment yeah i think it's just the reset from the set piece where tavernier was up maybe
31:32a chance to regroup so tavernier will take this throw
31:35and it's going to be collected by karen ward is it no it's going to be another corner he went behind
31:56the corner is gifted to rangers yeah that's it's pretty slack
32:05i think calum ward could get off his lane quick enough there just to prevent it going out
32:15well they scored from a corner can they do it again yeah that little cluster around about the 18
32:21the penalty spot should i say is there's an interesting one that's where tavernier broke free
32:26it's picked up now but you can see he's just trying to get around and create a bit of space for himself
32:33joe rothwell to ask the question again just over the head of tavernier on that occasion
32:38james tavernier scoring goal number 131 for rangers only eight of them have been headers
32:58it's not a bad goal return is it for a right back too busy banging them in from 25 yards are they
33:04ahead as
33:21tavernier rescued by dowell there not there ahead of varinger kieran dowell with some search here
33:31even better he's can be a mandate you can't find danilo yeah really good from kieran dowell
33:39you're watching rangers when he's playing on that right side the little passes that the play are just
33:44to encourage a bite they're almost trying to i don't know bait muddle into making challenges and they're
33:50just coming in and nipping it off the toes like kieran dowell did there setting traps almost
34:00so
34:03chica
34:06a bit away to elliot watt that's when he say
34:21that didn't go joe rothwell onto this
34:30taking it on himself it looped off and again and rangers have yet another corner
34:50yeah he just broke the anchor joe rothwell
34:54he can read the passes and the intent the mother will try to penetrate through the center of the
34:59field he's just uh broken ranks and stolen it and gone on a little run
35:02and just setting it up on corners
35:16the usual suspects are in there again awaiting kieran dowell's kick
35:20one jostling for position as dowell sends it in away by stomatalopoulos
35:34and then they will hang in there under pressure from maswinise
35:38we had to make it as well diamante because they were hunting in a park muddle
35:42and got away from diamante rangers were in real trouble there
35:56so
36:08tavern here
36:10Raskan making Chuck Pottman work for that.
36:29This pass, intercepted by Elliot Watt.
36:44The Amanda for Dowell, Danilo surging through the middle.
36:49And now around the outside.
36:53Topical angle for Danilo, and it will be corner kick number seven for Rangers.
36:58That's a good run. He's gone on the overlap there.
37:01I just wondered whether he could have pulled the trigger on his first touch.
37:04Takes an extra one, and then the chance is gone.
37:07But there's a little challenge down at the edge of the box with Tammi.
37:10It all starts from there.
37:11My initial thought was that Tammi have got a touch on the ball,
37:14but the Motherwell fans are not happy with that breakaway.
37:26Well, this is becoming a familiar sight.
37:29Rangers corner.
37:40Elliot Watt being spoken to by Stephen McLean.
37:42So, Kieran Dowell tries again.
37:58Away by Liam Gordon.
38:01Retrieved for a throw anyway.
38:04By Danilo.
38:05Seven corners Rangers have had in now, and I'm watching Tammi every single time.
38:10He's already scored, and it's Eli Justice picking him up,
38:14but as soon as the ball is about to be taken, he just lets him go.
38:17Tavenir looking to turn Provider with that one in with some ferocity,
38:23and Liam Gordon pops it behind for an eighth corner.
38:27Yeah, I know it's up here doing their job.
38:30That might be something that's pointed out at halftime.
38:32Charles Cross away by Gordon, only to Aarons.
38:36Rangers fail to win their last two opening games in the Premiership.
39:000-0 at Harts, 1-0 defeat at Kilmarnock.
39:04Failed to score in both obviously, but they've put that right already today,
39:08thanks to their captain.
39:09Aarons.
39:14Kusama.
39:23Tavernier.
39:39The last ten minutes, you can just see that there's a hallmark of Russell Martin
39:47about trying to suffocate the ball, keep it away from the opposition.
39:54Slattery.
39:55Katrumbus.
39:56Just come back to Diamande, and now Dowell.
40:20So many short passes in this game, I mean, it's incredible actually watching it.
40:24Well, Ngello had bombed ahead of the game there,
40:28and every Motherwell fan was shouting for him to get it,
40:31including the player himself, but they went short.
40:47Suta.
40:49Stopped by Katrumbus.
40:54I think it's out for a Motherwell throw.
41:01Yeah, I think it had gone over the line already, Max Aarons.
41:09Russell Martin took Southampton back to the Premiership,
41:13but was sacked after winning just one of the 16 games
41:17among the elite of English football.
41:28Gordon.
41:33Katrumbus to Rothwell.
41:35Stepping on to that, as he tends to do.
41:47Diamande.
41:50Kassama takes over.
41:51But he ran into Elliot Watts.
42:03Slattery now.
42:04Motherwell looking to find a way into this game.
42:06Ngello was calling for the ball, and he can strike it better than that,
42:12as he proved against Peter Head in the league cup.
42:15Yeah, it's not great quality from the big fellow in the wide position.
42:20You can see what he's trying to do, trying to pay him down.
42:21Lennon Miller still here for now,
42:26but almost certain to be on the move
42:28before the transfer window closes.
42:31He has been carrying a slight injury as well.
42:42Raskan.
42:43Raskan.
42:51Final five minutes of a first half.
43:18Raskan has largely been controlled by Rangers.
43:31Suta.
43:43Slattery.
43:43Kassama was looking for a free kick.
43:46And that's when he say.
43:48Well, he got his cross in.
43:51And Longolo trying to keep this alive.
43:53It was Elijah just to flung himself at the wall.
43:59Yeah, just.
44:01Just threw himself flat out there.
44:03He wasn't too far away from that cross from Maswanisi.
44:05Slattery.
44:06He's got a needless free kick for Rangers to give away.
44:20Ziga.
44:21Yeah, it's clumsy.
44:24Ziga.
44:24You know, Slattery's got very good quality from the dead ball.
44:30Baguadera.
44:32He's getting into the box now.
44:33Well, they haven't had too many glimpses of goal.
44:42Will they get one here?
44:44They're not a massive team model.
44:46So you expect that this will be fizzed in.
44:49Another click done.
44:54Slattery screened by Raskan.
44:56Raskan, it's out for a throw.
45:02It's done at Olopoulos.
45:05Salma doing some defensive duty and securing a free kick.
45:09Four live games on the opening weekend of the Scottish Premiership.
45:18Falkirk are back in the big time.
45:19They are home to Dundee United.
45:21From 1 o'clock tomorrow, Sky Sports Football.
45:24Celtic raise the flag and then face St Mirren again,
45:27as they did on the final day of last season.
45:30And on Monday night, Derek McInnes' hearts up against his former club,
45:35the Scottish Cup winners, Aberdeen.
45:377 o'clock, Monday night.
45:39Souter rising above Slattery, but here is Slattery again.
46:01Much of what Motherwell do revolves around him.
46:04it's been a funny opening 45 minutes to sum up in terms of muddle played some nice neat passing
46:15through the middle but not really looked too much of a threat rangers have certainly controlled
46:19the game and looked the bigger attacking force tavernier sliding that through to kieran dale
46:26who's held on to it but elliot watt keeping an eye on proceedings and able to clear
46:33he like just begin
46:41another exciting signing for rangers is young mikey moore from tottenham but they didn't manage to
46:55complete that deal in time for all the necessary paperwork to be done but i think rangers fans
47:00will like what they see when he does uh surface yeah he comes with a big reputation a lot of
47:06potential on the kid but it's a tough environment to play in front of these rangers fans particularly
47:12ibrox so he must have something special that uh that russell martin believes that he can
47:16he can show the rangers fans
47:19he was given a few opportunities by ang postocoglu last season there will be one minute added
47:26on to this first half
47:33so they say forceful with aarons who didn't take the challenge well
47:41yeah max airs doesn't like that goody
47:55max venice has been robust shall we say a few times
48:01max airs just needs to be careful i don't think there's any requirement to get involved
48:06he's got a free kick just got on with a word will do from steven mclean
48:21probably just go over the minute as a result of that
48:30time near
48:46maybe an extra 30 seconds added on by the look of it or will there no maybe not then
48:58well after a decade of rangers james tabernet is still scoring
49:04and fur park is his favorite venue for away goals a header from a corner that rangers might have
49:12added to with a series of further corners they haven't done but they have been in control so
49:18far so good for russell martin in his premiership opener half time at fur park motherwell nil rangers
49:25one
