Rangers have a tough game today against motherwell, but if ever we needed an incentive it is the fact that we can get to within one point of celtic
Walter Smith told the BBC
‘Just now, we have been sitting with this injury list of four or five players for a period and now we are adding to it.
‘That makes it a little bit more awkward, but we’ve had a good reaction from everyone who has come in to play and hopefully that will continue. I’m sure it will.’
Motherwell manager Mark McGhee :
Celtic and Rangers have the strength in depth.
‘If you get a lead and they are forced to change it, with the problems they have, they maybe don`t have the ability to change it.
‘Therefore, if we can contain that team then maybe we can give Rangers problems.’
