Match Preview: Rangers (H)

Yesterday at 07:00 AM

The women of steel will return to league action this evening after embarking on their route to the historic Women’s Scottish Cup at the weekend, with Motherwell comfortably defeating SWPL2 outfit Rossvale at the Kirkintilloch Community Sports Complex on Sunday. 

Motherwell, who were the defeated finalists to Hibernian in 2018, placed seven-goals past the hosts in an assured performance that secured their place in the Quarter-Final stage, where they will meet another SWPL2 side in Bonnyrigg Rose after being drawn together on Monday evening.

The Tale of the Tape 

Motherwell 

Paul Brownlie’s side return to league action this weekend, looking top replicate their impressive attacking display against title-chasers Rangers. There were seven different goalscorers on the scoresheet, as Sophie Black netted her second Motherwell goal, with Bailley Collins and also netting in the first-half to provide the men of steel with a two-goal cushion at the break.

Louisa Boyes continued her remarkable goalscoring form, converting a third shortly after the restart, with Jenna penman lashing one into the hoop-right corner from distance soon after. Second-half substitutes Lucy Barclay, Sienna McGoldrick and Mason Clark all found the target, as Motherwell coasted to a productive seven-goal advantage.

The women of steel will look to continue from where they left off when they face title-chasers Rangers this evening, and keen to redeem themselves after a frustrating performance against the Glasgow-side knocked the women of steel out of the Sky Sports Cup last month. Motherwell will be without striker Laura Berry, Midfielders Mason Clark and Sophie Black, who are all ineligible to face their parent club.

Rangers

Like Motherwell, Rangers also secured their place in the Quarter-Final of the Scottish Cup, dispatching 24-goals past lower-league side West Dyke FC in a clinical display. They travel to K-Park this evening, seeking their sixth successive competitive victory after hitting Dundee United for six in their last league meeting in November.
