The announcement that three important Motherwell players would miss Saturday’s (2 March) game could help Rangers.
Stuart Kettlewell’s team is without Callum Slattery, Barry Maguire, and Harry Paton. Rangers hopes to close the five-point deficit with second-place Celtic, who visit Hearts the following day.
Particularly in light of the most recent information provided by the visitors, Philippe Clement’s team will be the clear favourites.
On March 1, an item on Motherwell’s official club website stated: “Andy Halliday and Calum Butcher will be evaluated, while Slattery, Maguire, and Paton are sidelined. Adam Devine is unable to play against his parent club in the meantime.
Motherwell side plays the Rangers, with a few absentees.
The fact that Motherwell is without a few important players enhances Rangers’ chances of triumphing.
But hardly many teams would want to play the Gers right now given their current form, even if their opponents were perfectly healthy.
With a two-point lead over rivals Celtic, Philippe Clement’s team is on a roll.
In their most recent match, they overcame a 1-0 deficit to defeat Kilmarnock 2-1 at Rugby Park thanks to goals from attacker Tom Lawrence, who also managed to score the team’s first goal of the year, and captain James Tavernier.
