Rangers reaction: First Ibrox blot for van Bronckhorst; Morelos frustration shows; Motherwell's inspired duo

With just 10 games left to play in the title race, Rangers are in danger of running out of road in their efforts to halt the unreliability which has evidenced itself in their form since the winter break.

Until Sunday, the reigning champions’ problems since returning to action in January had been confined to away fixtures in which they were held to draws at Aberdeen, Ross County and Dundee United along with the 3-0 pasting they suffered at Celtic Park.

This latest slip-up was perhaps even more concerning for van Bronckhorst who had overseen victories without conceding a single goal in his previous seven league matches at Ibrox since succeeding Steven Gerrard as manager in November.

Rangers looked for all the world as if they were on their way to another win and shut-out as they dominated from the start against Motherwell and should have been out of sight by half-time, their 2-0 lead through Bevis Mugabi’s own goal and Fashion Sakala’s ninth goal of the season being scant reward for the level of control they enjoyed.

They were undone by defensive frailty after the break, Kaiyne Woolery’s pace too much for stand-in central defender John Lundstram as he set up Jordan Roberts to halve the deficit before Woolery himself managed to squeeze home a shot which Allan McGregor would have expected to save at his near post.

While Rangers may have had just cause to point out that Celtic loanee Liam Shaw was offside in the build-up to the equaliser, on a day when referee Don Robertson and his assistants certainly didn’t cover themselves in glory, they ultimately have to look at themselves in assessing why they could not see out a game in which they had 30 attempts on goal to Motherwell’s five.
