Stats for this game
Matchup Motherwell VS Rangers
Rangers’ advantage, with exceptions
Rangers’ stronger historical return is visible in the fixed sequence around 2026. They won 1-0 on 5 September 2026 and 1-0 on 27 December 2025, while Motherwell won 3-2 on 26 April 2026. The teams also drew 1-1 on 11 February 2026 and 1-1 on 2 August 2025. These results leave Rangers with the larger balance, but they also show repeated resistance. That contrast matters beyond the headline balance.
Motherwell’s counterweight
Motherwell won 2-1 in the meeting on 1 March 2025 and drew 2-2 on 29 December 2024, while Rangers won 2-1 in the League Cup on 3 November 2024. Earlier scorelines include Rangers’ 7-1 result on 11 November 2018 and 6-1 win on 31 October 2021, reminders that the fixture can widen sharply as well as tighten. Future meetings will ask whether Motherwell can produce another interruption, or whether Rangers’ established superiority again decides the margin.
