Just now, Rousseau said:

We've started well, with a nice tempo.

 

1-0, Arfield.

 

Lovely ball in from Tavernier, Arfeidl composes himself as the defender slips and slots it low into the corner of the net.

He took it nicely. I didn't think he was going to score. Seemed little space to get it through.

[Rousseau 9,369]

Middleton is simultaneous superb and poor. 

 

With the ball at his feet, taking on his man, he's unplayable at times. 

 

His link-up play and passing leaves a lot to be desired. 

 

He's young, though; he'll learn through games. 

[Rousseau 9,369]

Nice switch of play saw Tavernier running at their defence. He slips in Greza wide right and he flouts in a nice cross to Morelos. His header just flouts over the bar.

[Rousseau 9,369]

1-1. Don't know what happened there?

 

Katic completely rolled by Bowman. 

 

Easy ball across for a tap-in.

 

Silly.

[Rousseau 9,369]

Penalty to Rangers!

 

McHugh sent off for the hand ball; second yellow.

[Rousseau 9,369]

Motherwell manager sent to the stands.

 

Tavernier slots it home, but the Ref wasn't watching (Muppet) so he has to take it again...

 

Same spot, 2-1 to Rangers. 

[Rousseau 9,369]

Right -- we need to be ruthless now. 

 

Put them to the sword!

[Rousseau 9,369]

Pin-point set-piece delivery from Tavernier finds Katic, who's header is tipped wide for the corner. 

 

From the corner, Morelos, unmarked, nods it home! 3-1.

[Gonzo79 13,597]

Hopefully that sets us up for a comprehensive victory.

Wonderful play from Middleton, taking on his men (3 of them), winding his way through them, cuts the ball across to Ejaria on the edge of the box, who slips in Morelos; his shot swerves just over the bar.
