Motherwell is set to face Rangers this Sunday, April 26, 2026, at Ibrox Stadium in a highly anticipated Scottish Premiership clash. This fixture marks Motherwell's 112th participation in the competition, as they look to bounce back from their recent defeat.

The Steelmen, as Motherwell are known, will be keen to improve their form after a 3-1 loss to Hearts on April 11, 2026, in their last Scottish Premiership outing. Their opponents, Rangers, come into this game with momentum, having secured a dominant 3-6 victory against Falkirk on April 12, 2026.

The last encounter between these two Scottish Premiership rivals ended in a 1-1 draw on February 11, 2026, suggesting another tightly contested match could be on the cards. Both teams will be eager to secure three points as the season progresses.

For Rangers, the only confirmed absentee is Ryan Naderi due to an unknown injury. Motherwell's injury list was not detailed in the source, implying a potentially stronger squad availability for the visitors.

Rangers' last starting XI against Falkirk featured Jack Butland in goal, with a defensive line of James Tavernier, Nasser Djiga, Emmanuel Fernandez, and Jayden Meghoma. The midfield saw Tochi Chukwuani and Nicolas Raskin, supporting Djeidi Gassama, Thelo Aasgaard, and Mikey Moore, with Youssef Chermiti leading the attack.

Motherwell's last lineup against Hearts included Calum Ward and Tom Sparrow, though the full squad list was not provided. Fans will be watching closely to see if any changes are made to their starting eleven in an effort to secure a vital away result against Rangers.
