Rangers 2-3 Motherwell: Gers Scottish Premiership title hopes dealt a blow as defeat drops them to third

  /  autty

Rangers' Scottish Premiership title hopes were dealt a huge blow as they dropped to third with a defeat to Motherwell at Ibrox.

Danny Röhl's side needed a win in their first post-split game to remain above Celtic at least, but made a dismal start as Lukas Fadinger stunned the Ibrox crowd with an early opener.

They were then trailing 2-0 before the half hour after Emmanuel Longelo knocked the ball in at the back post.

Rangers changed formation at the break and it looked to have paid off when Youssef Chermiti and Nicolas Raskin pulled them back level as Ibrox burst into life.

But Motherwell, who had drawn with the Gers twice at Fir Park this season, had the last say when Longelo's shot was deflected into the net late on.

It leaves Rangers on 69 points with four games remaining. Motherwell are fourth as they chase European football next season.

More to follow.
