Rangers drew 3-3 away at Motherwell this afternoon.
Rangers twice came from behind but then could only draw at Motherwell in a topsy-turvy encounter at Fir Park this afternoon.
The Gers were back in league action today having beaten Ufa 1-0 in their Europa League qualifying clash on Thursday night, and they played out an incredible game against Motherwell.
An early slip from Connor Goldson allowed Danny Johnson to lob Allan McGregor to put Motherwell into the lead, only for Kyle Lafferty’s deflected strike to bring Rangers level.
Rangers fell behind again though as Carl McHugh headed home at the back post from a Gael Bigirimana free kick, with Lafferty bagging a second goal on his second full debut for Rangers, heading home James Tavernier’s cross.
Borna Barisic set up Ovie Ejaria’s to finally put Rangers in front, and after battling through the second half, Rangers fell with virtually the last kick as Peter Hartley headed home a dramatic equaliser in added time.
Rangers will be gutted to have worked so hard to get in front before ultimately leaving Fir Park with just a point, but the performance of Andy Halliday will have been a pleasant surprise for many.
Halliday, 26, has never been short of endeavour since joining his boyhood club in 2015, but some had reservations about his quality, and many expected him to leave Ibrox this summer when Steven Gerrard brought in a number of midfielders.
However, Halliday started in the Rangers engine room against Motherwell and turned in a fine display, with many supporters praising him for ‘terrific’ performance at Fir Park, with many claiming that he is like a new player under Gerrard, whilst noting that he was missed when substituted.
