Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton has praised Graeme Murty’s Rangers on social networking site Twitter for staging a comeback against Motherwell.

Rangers played out a 2-2 draw with Motherwell away from home at Fir Park in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday afternoon.

The home team started the match strongly and were 2-0 up after just 16 minutes, thanks to goals from Curtis Main (penalty) and Allan Campbell.

The Gers stepped up their game in the second half and scored twice in quick succession.
