Barry Ferguson’s return to Rangers could not have got off to a more thrilling start.
Gers were two goals down to Kilmarnock after 14 minutes at Rugby Park on Wednesday to leave the away fans’ head in hands. But a surging comeback spearheaded by Cyriel Dessers secured a 4-2 win and a spring in the step of their former captain. Now for the glorious homecoming as Fergie and co will surely be serenaded as they walk out at Ibrox at the weekend. The title slipped away long ago with the hosts now 13 points behind Celtic. But a victory in the caretaker managers’ first home match will keep morale high and momentum going.
Motherwell provide the opposition and have managed to halt a dismal run of results. The Steelmen’s 2-1 victory over Dundee at Fir Park on Wednesday stopped a sequence of six straight defeats. And new manager Michael Wimmer will hope to take advantage of the new manager bounce in Glasgow as they look to close the gap to sixth-placed Hearts. But to put their challenge into context, Well have won just one of their last 23 meetings against Rangers.
