Sampson Adedeji

Scottish champion Rangers continue their impressive performance this season with another victory against Motherwell on Saturday, BSNsports.com.ng can report.

Rangers recorded an astonishing 1-3 away win, and came at a cost as one of their reliable defender Leon Balogun was sent off in the game.

Balogun was sent off after just 28 minutes, and now suspended for next Sunday’s potentially title-defining Old Firm clash at Celtic Park.

Rangers led through an early own goal from Motherwell goalkeeper Liam Kelly, albeit also claimed by Wright, before Ross Tierney restore parity after Balogun’s dismissal. But Scott Wright’s early second-half goal and James Tavernier spot kick effort sealed all three points.

His compatriots Calvin Bassey and Joe Aribo were introduced as a substitute in the encounter.
