It couldn't have been much more of a difficult start for Motherwell in the William Hill Premiership, kicking off the new campaign against Rangers at Fir Park. Over 6000 Motherwell supporters made their way to ML1, keen to see the new style and philosophy being implemented by Jens Berthel Askou. Demanding the players showed everyone who we want to be; Berthel Askou and his approach excited the fans in the early stages of the game. But it was Rangers who opened the scoring from a corner. Conceding early didn't derail the plan, and Motherwell worked their way back into proceedings. Creating chance after chance, the home crowd got more involved, and the goal looked like it was coming. And on the 87th minute, it did. Emmanuel Longelo drilled home to level the game and earn the Steelmen a more than deserved opening day point.
