Rangers will look to consolidate their position at the top of the Scottish Premiership when they host Motherwell on Saturday.

A victory will move Philippe Clement’s side five points above Celtic at the top of the league table for 24 hours at least with their Old Firm rivals not playing until Sunday when they face Hearts in a 12 noon kick-off.

Rangers clung onto top spot in midweek after coming from behind to defeat Kilmarnock 2-1 at Rugby Park with goals from James Tavernier and Tom Lawrence while Motherwell also completed a second half turnaround away to Livingston, turning a 1-0 half-time deficit into a 3-1 victory at Almondvale.

The two sides have met twice previously this season with Rangers edging a 1-0 win at Ibrox in September thanks to a first-half strike from Cyriel Dessers which they followed with a 2-0 victory at Fir Park in December where Kieran Dowell and Todd Cantwell were on target.
