Rangers vs Motherwell: Starting teams named for Premiership clash at IbroxSNS Group

The starting line-ups have been named for the Rangers vs Motherwell Premiership clash at Ibrox.

Philippe Clement and Stuart Kettlewell have decided on their eleven players that will start the game on Saturday afternoon.

The home side are aiming to take a five-point lead at the top of the league with second placed Celtic not in action until tomorrow when they play Hearts.

But if Rangers fail to take all three points then it will hand the Hoops a chance to go back top if they win in Edinburgh.

Meanwhile the visitors are looking to give their hopes of a top-six spot a boost by potentially cutting the three-point gap to Dundee who host Kilmarnock.

With ten games remaining of the Premiership season, and only five until the split, it is now well into the business end of the season and every point won or dropped could prove vital to both sides’ ambitions.

Clement has started with Butland in goals behind a back four of Tavernier, Goldson, Souttar and Ridvan Yilmaz.

John Lundstram, Raskin and Diomande are in midfield with Sterling and McCausland either side of Cyriel Dessers up top.

Kettlewell has Kelly in goals behind O’Donnell, McGinn, Blaney, Casey, Zdravkoski, Miller, Spittal, Vale and Theo Bair leading the line.
