Rangers 3 Motherwell 0

THERE is so much chat of strikers in Govan that this picturesque hamlet has temporarily become yet again reminiscent of Red Clydeside.

A period of discontent at Ibrox yesterday was avoided by the timely interventions of David Healy and Sone Aluko and a donation to the strike fund from Motherwell's Stephen Craigan. Their goals gave Rangers a deserved victory but the significance of this match was far from restricted to picking up three points in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.
