Rangers suffered a disappointing 2-1 loss to motherwell in their Premiership clash on Saturday.
Rangers dominating possession in the first half, Motherwell stunned the home side by taking a 2-0 lead into halftime, goals from Luke Armstrong and Tom Sparrow, leaving Ferguson’s men with more work load.
Barry Ferguson made three substitutions at halftime, introducing Leon Balogun, Tom Lawrence, and Nedim Bajrami, which boosted Rangers’ morale and led to a more attacking approach.
The changes paid off, as the players began to create more scoring opportunities, eventually leading to Cyriel Dessers’ goal which increased Rangers’ hopes of another comeback.
Dessers thought he had leveled the scoreline in the 79th minute, but his strike was controversially ruled out for offside after a VAR check, leaving Rangers needing another goal to avoid a third consecutive home loss.
Motherwell defended resiliently to secure all three points, spoiling Barry Ferguson’s homecoming. the loss leaves Rangers 13 points behind league leaders Celtic.
