Rangers 3 Motherwell 0:RANGERS BOUNCED back from their Old Firm derby defeat with a convincing win over Motherwell yesterday – without the help of top goalscorer Nikica Jelavic.
Jelavic missed the clash at Ibrox with a knee injury, paving the way for David Healy to grab his first goal of the season on what was his first Scottish Premier League start of the campaign. Sone Aluko then opened his goalscoring account for Rangers, before an own-goal from Stephen Craigan sealed the victory for the Scottish champions.
Dorin Goian returned from suspension for Rangers to start along with Maurice Edu, while Lee McCulloch missed out after a knock and Kirk Broadfoot was dropped following the defeat to Celtic.
