Rangers vs Motherwell LIVE score and goal updates from the Premiership clash at Ibrox Stadium

It's the return of the prodigal son as Rangers interim boss and legendary captain Barry Ferguson takes charge of his first game at Ibrox.

The caretaker gaffer came through a thrilling dug-out debut in a roller-coaster Rugby Park encounter in midweek as they came from two goals down to win 4-2.

Next up is Motherwell at home with Ferguson walking out to the place he called home for so long during an illustrious playing career which spanned two spells at his boyhood heroes.

But the Steelmen will be out to spoil that homecoming as Michael Wimmer looks to kick on after the German got his first win under his belt against Dundee on Wednesday.

The Lanarkshire men are pushing for a Scottish Premiership top six spot and repeating the win they got at Ibrox 12 months ago would go a long way to helping them achieve their goal.

However, all eyes will be on the home dug-out and Ferguson as he makes an emotional return, alongside his coaches and former team-mates Neil McCann, Allan McGregor and Billy Dodds.

ANDY NEWPORT: Of course he was. It would have been more damaging to the young Frenchman to leave him out there when he was so clearly out of his depth. Nsiala is a prospect but he needs to grasp that this is man’s football and mistakes are punished. The awful Ayrshire astro was no place for a rookie still learning his trade.

SCOTT BURNS: Whether it was right or wrong, Barry Ferguson is the manager and he has to do what he feels is best for Rangers. The team were losing 2-0 and at that point the majority of the starting XI could have been hooked. Rangers went on to win the game so Ferguson was vindicated.

MICHAEL GANNON: Absolutely. The kid
