BREAKING NEWS;Motherwell vs Rangers match has been cancelled and rescheduled just now..

Rangers are set to take on Motherwell at Ibrox Stadium on Saturday in the second matchday of the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership campaign, both aiming to build early season momentum.

The hosts are eighth in the league after recording a draw on the opening day, while the visitors are also on one point and sit in seventh place.

Since winning their first league title in 10 years with an unbeaten season in 2020-21, Rangers have frustratingly finished behind their bitter rivals Celtic in all of the following three seasons.

Hopes were high for Rangers going into the final stages of 2023-24 with Philippe Clement, who took over in October 2023, guiding the side to just two losses in his first 22 league matches in charge.

However, the Gers failed to win any of their final three games, allowing Celtic to overtake them and secure the top spot by the end of the regular season with a three-point lead.

Rangers fell further behind in the championship round, ending the season eight points behind Celtic with an overall points tally of 85, the lowest tally they have achieved since pre-covid.

Their poor form continued following the end of the league, losing 1-0 to Celtic in the Scottish Cup final before failing to win any of their pre-season fixtures, losing three and drawing one, and drawing in both of their competitive games to start the current campaign.

That streak leaves Rangers without a victory in eight games across all competitions, something that Clement will be desperate to put an end to in their first home game of the 2024-25 Scottish Premiership.

Motherwell are also in search of their first win in the Scottish Premiership this year after they drew their opening fixture against Ross County last weekend.
