RICHARD FOSTER, the Rangers defender, believes Motherwell have an easier task of winning through the Play-Offs.

The full-back believes the fact his team must play six games, as opposed to two, hands the Fir Park men a big advantage.

Foster, of course, could be playing mind-games ahead of Thursday's first leg at Ibrox, but he did point out that the Rangers players have a lot more miles on the clock compared to Motherwell.

Speaking to Rangers TV, he said: "I think that the way that the Play-Offs are structured is not favourable to the teams that are in our division.

"So to get up that way would be a success and would cap off what has been an okay season. It's always going to be difficult having to play six games but we've come through these four already and we've shown that we've got good quality.

"It's a massive credit to the players inside the dressing room that we're now at this point. When you look at some of the boys who have played in all of the games like Nicky Law, who has played something like 51 or 52 games, then it has been very tough and a long season for those players."

Foster admitted that his focus over the past few years has solely been to be part of getting Rangers back to Scottish football's top tier.

And that beating Motherwell over the next two games would be a personal highlight after some ups and downs in blue and white.

"When I joined the club a couple of years ago, what I wanted to do was help the club get back to where they should be playing, " said Foster.

"Obviously we wanted that to be done already but it's not been the case, so this is our chance to salvage something from the season and personally that would be as great an achievement as it would be for the club."
