Sport nationRANGERS’ IBROX WOES CONTINUE AS MOTHERWELL SECURE 2-1 VICTORY
Rangers’ dismal run at Ibrox continued as they succumbed to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Motherwell. The loss marks the third consecutive home defeat for the Govan club, sparking widespread discontent among the fans.
The visitors took the lead through Luke Armstrong’s ninth-minute strike, with Tom Sparrow doubling their advantage on the half-hour mark. Cyriel Dessers pulled one back for Rangers nine minutes into the second half, but it proved to be a mere consolation as Motherwell held on for a deserved victory.
The defeat has heaped further pressure on interim manager Barry Ferguson, who witnessed his side’s winless run at Ibrox extend to three matches. Ferguson had begun his tenure on a positive note, guiding Rangers to a 4-2 triumph over Kilmarnock at Rugby Park in midweek. However, this latest setback has raised questions about his ability to arrest the club’s alarming slide.
As the final whistle blew, the Rangers faithful vented their frustration, with boos and jeers echoing around the stadium. The atmosphere was tense, with many supporters visibly dismayed by their team’s lackluster display.
Rangers’ next fixture sees them face off against St Mirren, with Celtic, the reigning champions, poised to capitalize on their rivals’ misfortunes. With a 16-point lead at the top of the Premiership table, Celtic will be eager to further extend their advantage and consolidate their position as the dominant force in Scottish football.
As for Rangers, they must regroup and reassess their strategy if they hope to salvage their ailing season. With tensions running high and patience wearing thin, Ferguson and his players face a daunting task in reviving their fortunes and restoring pride to the Rangers jersey.
