Rangers will welcome Motherwell to the Ibrox Stadium for a Scottish Premiership matchday 28 fixture on Sunday.
The hosts come into the game on the back of a morale-boosting 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Europa League qualifier at the same ground. Captain James Tavernier scored a brace to help the Gers secure a 6-4 aggregate victory and consequently secure their spot in the round of 16 of the competition.
They will turn their attention to league action, where they currently trail arch-rivals Celtic by three points in their quest to retain the league.
Motherwell occupy the final Championship playoff spot and have 34 points to show for their efforts in 27 matches.
The Steelmen come into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw with Aberdeen last weekend. Vicente Besuijen and Mark O'Hara scored in either half to share the spoils.
