Motherwell preview: Building on momentum
The best thing Motherwell can do at this point is to just keep on building on the momentum they have built up since the turn of the year. If they are to come out on top on Wednesday, then they will have to do so without the injured quartet of Zach Robinson, Regan Charles-Cook, Elliot Watt and Eseosa Sule.
Predicted lineup: Ward (GK), Sparrow, O'Donnell, McGinn, Koutroumbis, Fadinger, Priestman, Said, Just, Slattery, Maswanhise
Last five results
- Livingston 0-2 Motherwell
- Motherwell 4-0 Kilmarnock
- Motherwell 1-0 Ross County
- Hibernian 1-1 Motherwell
- Motherwell 2-0 St. Mirren
Rangers preview: Fresh starters to return
Danny Rohl was able to heavily rotate his team for the cup clash with Queen's Park at the weekend, so a host of regulars, including Jack Butland and Thelo Aasgaard, should come into this one nice and fresh. On the injury front, Gers are without Connor Barron, Derek Cornelius and Bailey Rice.
Predicted lineup: Butland (GK), Tavernier, Djiga, Souttar, Meghoma, Diomande, Raskin, Gassama, Aasgaard, Moore, Miovski
Last five results
- Rangers 8-0 Queen's Park
- Rangers 5-1 Kilmarnock
- Hibernian 0-0 Rangers
- FC Porto 3-1 Rangers
- Rangers 3-0 Dundee
Player to watch: Thelo Aasgard
As mentioned, Thelo Aasgaard was given a rest by Danny Rohl for the 8-0 win over Queen's Park, but the midfielder will come back in for this one. If Rangers are to prove us wrong and walk away from Motherwell with a positive result, then you feel that Aasgard will have to be at his very best.
