Predicted XI - How Rangers could line up against Motherwell as they look to close gap on Premiership leaders Celtic

The Scottish champions cannot afford another slip-up in the title race when they make the short trip to Fir Park on Saturday.

The Gers are in confident mood ahead of facing Motherwell in the first of five remaining post-split fixtures.

Progression in both the Europa League and Scottish Cup has helped to ease the pressure off that had seemingly mounted on Giovanni van Bronckhorst as the Dutchman eyes silverware.

Rangers may already have one eye on their trip to Germany next week, which could see Van Bronckhorst alter his starting line-up slightly and rest the likes of Calvin Bassey and Ryan Jack.

Attacking options Kemar Roofe and Aaron Ramsey will sit this match out through injury.

GlasgowWorld predicts how Rangers will line up against Graham Alexander’s Steelmen this weekend:

On the bench: McLaughlin (GK), Bassey, Jack, Sands, Arfield, King, Diallo, Kamara, Lowry, Itten
