Highlights of the Scottish Premiership match between Motherwell and Rangers

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard is set for a double injury boost as Ryan Jack and potentially Kemar Roofe prepare to return against Ross County.

Jack is back after a two month lay-off with a troublesome knee problem while Roofe, who has not played since limping off with a quad injury against Celtic on January 2, will be assessed before the Staggies' visit.

George Edmundson (hernia), Scott Arfield (ankle) and long-term knee-injury victim Nikola Katic remain out.

Stephen Kelly drops out of the Ross County squad, with the on-loan midfielder unable to play against his parent club.

Ross County manager John Hughes says the club are looking to strengthen in a number of positions before the January transfer window closes

Ross Stewart and Callum Morris could return after injury but Carl Tremarco is still a bit away. New signing Mohamed Maouche has to self-isolate after returning from France while Tom Grivosti (hamstring) remains on the sidelines.

Key stat: This will be the 12th Scottish Premiership fixture between Rangers and Ross County, with the Gers never losing a single game against the Staggies (W8 D3). Only once have Rangers failed to score a goal in this fixture (0-0, September 2016).
