Rangers FC are aiming to build on their recent progress in the Scottish Premiership when they welcome Motherwell to the Ibrox Stadium on matchday six. The visitors have scored exactly three goals in their last two league games and our prediction is leaning towards a high-scoring affair with over 2.5 goals our preferred pick for this entertaining clash.
Rangers FC have picked up seven points in four games and are fifth in the league standings, five points behind the defending champions and early pacesetters Celtic FC.
The Gers have finally found their rhythm after a poor start to the 2026-27 Scottish Premiership season. Heading into this clash, they've won their last two matches with their most recent being a 2-1 away win to Falkirk.
Derek McInnes' men are eyeing a third straight win and their first home league win after opening their account with a 2-1 defeat against Hibernian.
Motherwell, meanwhile, are in third place with eight points and four behind the top spot. Success here could see them secure the second spot depending on results elsewhere.
The visitors are one of just three teams yet to taste defeat this season and will want to maintain that record this Saturday.
On Wednesday, the Steelmen had no trouble seeing off Dundee United's threat. Goals from Sebastian Palmer-Houlden, Alex Lowry, and Dylan Levitt saw the team secure a commanding 3-0 victory in front of their home crowd.

Our Rangers vs Motherwell Prediction
Rangers FC are favorites with bookmakers to pick up maximum points, but their victory will be far from straightforward, given that they failed to win either of their last two games last season. Their last home match against this opponent ended in a 3-2 defeat. That scoreline alone suggests this encounter could be a goal-filled one.
Motherwell could contribute to a high-scoring affair, having scored three goals in their last two league games. That's not all; they boast the league's second-best offensive record with eight goals scored at an average of 2 goals per game. Our Rangers FC vs Motherwell prediction: over 2.5 goals.
