What channel is Rangers v Motherwell? Is it on TV? Kick-off time, how to watch, referee and VAR

Rangers return to domestic action following their midweek win over Real Betis with a home match against Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership.

A 1-0 win over the La Liga side in their opening Europa League group fixture at Ibrox on Thursday was a much-needed morale boost for Michael Beale’s men after a difficult start to the season that included league defeats to Kilmarnock and Celtic and a chastening Champions League exit at the hands of PSV Eindhoven.

Rangers face a Motherwell side who are a point ahead of them in third place and who have not been beaten on their travels in the league since Stuart Kettlewell became manager in February. The Steelmen have lost only once this season, at home to St Mirren last weekend.

Kettlewell’s side have come away with points from Tynecastle, Dens Park, the Tony Macaroni Arena, McDiarmid Park, Celtic Park, Easter Road, Rugby Park, and the Global Energy Stadium and now look to extend that record against Rangers on Sunday.
