Philippe Clement's men took all three points but there was little sense of security
Even in a temporary home you’re supposed to feel safe and sound. But that wasn’t the case for Rangers at Hampden on Saturday In fact, towards the end of this game it felt like Motherwell might even break in and snatch a point.
Having Hampden as their adopted home will take a bit of getting used to for the players and Clement. But it’s not all bad. They have still got 50,000 fans packed in for games. And there’s a huge pitch which should allow them to showcase their superior quality against inferior SPFL opposition. Early doors, he lost his first aerial duel and subsequently allowed Lennon Miller to run in behind him. It was a golden chance for the Motherwell kid to score and he’ll be gutted with his finish.
An opening goal was coming and it came from Dessers again. The big Nigerian was a Euro hero in Poland last Tuesday night with a late equaliser and he’s now off the mark in the Premiership. A half-hearted Rangers press allowed Oxborough to ping a ball into Ewan Wilson’s feet in the centre circle and he was left in acres of space between the home side’s defence and midfield. He fed Steve Seddon at left wing-back and when his cross flicked off John Souttar’s head, Propper just stretched a leg out.
