Rangers
Rangers started sluggishly and were punished with two early goals, but showed character to claw their way back into the match. Their attacking intent was clear, generating 16 shots and 7 corners, but they struggled to convert dominance into goals, especially in the first half. The double midfield pivot of Raskin and Chukwuani helped regain control after the break, and goals in the 51st and 70th minutes brought them level. However, defensive frailties and a lack of composure in key moments ultimately cost them dearly.

Tactical Analysis
Rangers lined up in a 4-2-2-2, seeking to control midfield through Raskin and Chukwuani, but were exposed early by Motherwell's quick transitions from their 4-2-3-1 setup. The visitors' compact midfield frustrated Rangers' attempts to play through the center, forcing the hosts wide and inviting crosses. After halftime, Rangers pushed their full-backs higher and increased tempo, which paid off with two goals. Motherwell responded by sitting deeper, relying on organized defending and counter-attacks. Substitutions were used by both sides to inject energy, but it was Motherwell's late attacking switch that proved decisive. Set pieces were a key avenue for Rangers, reflected in their 7 corners, but Motherwell's discipline and timely interventions from goalkeeper C. Ward kept them at bay. The tactical chess match was ultimately settled by Motherwell's ability to absorb pressure and strike when it mattered most.
Turning Point
Motherwell's 90th-minute winner, which came against the run of play and sealed the upset.
