Rangers striker Ryan Naderi scored the only goal of the match to secure a 1-0 victory over Motherwell at Ibrox, giving the Glasgow club their third consecutive Scottish Premiership win. The match was decided in the 12th minute when Naderi, who had come on as an early substitute, dispossessed Motherwell goalkeeper Alex Paulsen as he attempted to dribble past him outside the box, leaving the German with the simple task of rolling the ball into an empty net.
Early substitute makes the difference
Naderi was brought on after just eight minutes to replace the injured Lawrence Shankland. His quick thinking and pressure on Paulsen proved decisive, as the goalkeeper's error handed Rangers the lead. Despite Motherwell dominating possession and creating several chances, Rangers were more effective in the final third and could have extended their advantage.
Kim Min-su missed a first-half penalty for Rangers, while debutant striker Kevin Kelsy, who came off the bench, was among those who passed up good opportunities to add to the scoreline. Rangers ultimately saw out the game without any late scares, recording their third consecutive league victory.
Other Scottish Premiership results
Elsewhere in the Scottish Premiership, Michael Forbes scored an added-time equaliser for Dundee United against Falkirk, who had led at Tannadice thanks to Jacob Murrell's fourth-minute opener. Kilmarnock picked up their first point of the season but are still waiting for a first win after a 0-0 draw at Aberdeen.
