Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers have beaten Motherwell 2-1.
Rangers kicked off their Premiership season with a hard-fought 2-1 win at Motherwell today.
Graham Dorrans was the hero for Rangers, opening the scoring after just four minutes and then adding a second from the penalty spot in the second half after Ben Heneghan equalised.
The former West Bromwich Albion man will get the headlines, especially given that it was his debut, but Tam McManus has reserved praise for another of Caixinha’s squad.
Josh Windass was a menacing presence for the Gers for much of the clash at Fir Park, and McManus has paid tribute to his “superb” showing this afternoon.
Rangers were dumped out of Europe by Progres in arguably their worst ever defeat, significantly dampening the mood ahead of the new campaign.
But a series of impressive pre-season results, coupled with this victory, will undoubtedly spark an upturn in optimism once more.
But Caixinha’s side can’t afford too much celebration as they host Dunfermline in a second-round League Cup clash at Ibrox on Wednesday but, if their last four results are anything to go by, the Pars won’t be too much of an obstacle.
