Rangers v Motherwell teams confirmed, with changes for both sides

Motherwell boss Graham Alexander and Rangers manager Giovanni Van Bronckhorst have named their starting 11s for today's Ibrox showdown.

The Steelmen will hope for a rare win in Govan as they look for their first three points of 2022.

They're up against formidable opponents, who beat Borussia Dortmund 6-4 on aggregate to reach the Europa League last 16, but drew 1-1 with Dundee United at Tannadice last Sunday.

Motherwell go into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw at home to Aberdeen last Saturday.

Alexander makes five changes to the side that dew with Aberdeen last weekend. Captain Stephen O'Donnell, Ricki Lamie, Dean Cornelius, Ross Tierney and Kaiyne Woolery come in for Sondre Solholm, Juhani Ojala, Sean Goss, Connor Shields and Kevin Van Veen. The Dutch striker hasn't made the squad.

Van Bronckhorst makes two changes from the side that beat Borussia Dortmund on Thursday, with Glen Kamara and Fashion Sakala coming in for Borna Barisic and Ryan Jack. Uddingston youngster Alex Lowry makes the bench again.

The Steelmen are currently seventh in the Premiership, but could leap up to fourth with a win. Rangers will hope to grab a win that would move them to within a point of leaders Celtic at the top of the table, who drew 0-0 with Hibs this afternoon.

Motherwell's last visit to Ibrox ended in a 1-1 draw, but they lost 6-1 at home to Rangers earlier this season, so will be well aware of the challenge ahead today.

Rangers line up as follows: McGregor, Tavernier, Goldson, Lundstram, Bassey, Kamara, Arfield, Aribo, Fashion JR, Kent, Morelos.

Subs: McLaughlin (GK), Zukowski, Balogun, Barisic, Sands, Lowry, Amad, Wright, Roofe.
