Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers have a tricky test on Sunday.
Motherwell captain Peter Hartley has admitted that he enjoyed seeing former Rangers defender Fabio Cardoso ‘weep’ against them last season.
Ryan Bowman broke the Portuguese centre-back’s nose during a fiery clash with Rangers last term after aiming a stray elbow in his direction.
The Motherwell striker avoided a red card on the day and later escaped retrospective action from the Scottish Football Association.
Steven Gerrard’s Rangers go to Fir Park again on Sunday in what could be yet another physical encounter, and Hartley, after saying it was ‘fun’ to see Cardoso cry, claims that the hosts can upset the in-form Gers this weekend.
“I think he broke a boy’s nose didn’t he? That was fun to watch, the way he was weeping,” he said via the Scottish Sun.
“But, yes, they have all been entertaining and the games have been close.
“We fully believe we can get the job done and beat them, I know Rangers are one of the bigger teams in this division but we’re not going to try and sit in for a draw at home.
“We’ll come out on Sunday with the mentality to go and take three points.”
It won’t be a chance for Cardoso to exact revenge on Bowman, given that Gerrard released the former Benfica man a little earlier this summer.
The Gers have won four points from a possible six in the Premiership and few would back against them getting another victory at the weekend.
