Going to Ibrox this time around felt a little different for the Steelmen. There was expectation in the air that Motherwell could go to Govan and control proceedings. Chances arrived early, with Lukas Fadinger and Elijah Just unable to convert. From there, Rangers began to grow into the game with goalkeeper Calum Ward doing everything he could to protect his consecutive clean sheet record. With both sides rueing missed opportunities, and both goalkeepers alert between the posts, the deadlock would not be broken until the second half. A tap in for Thelo Aasgaard gave Rangers the lead as Motherwell chased for the leveller. In a basketball game that was going from side to side, the game neared its conclusion but not before a massive penalty claim for Motherwell was waved away before the full time whistle.
