Half-Time Report: Motherwell, Rangers goalless in second leg

Scottish top-flight team Motherwell still lead Rangers 3-1 at the interval of the second leg of their Scottish Premiership playoff.

Rangers still have it all to do in their Scottish Premiership playoff against Motherwell, with Stuart McCall's side still 3-1 behind from the first leg.

Rangers have had the better of the second leg thus far, but the score remains goalless at the interval.

It was Rangers that started on the front foot and the visitors came close to opening the scoring in the third minute when Kris Boyd met a deep cross from the right, but his header was straight into the arms of George Long.

Boyd had another sight of goal in the seventh minute following some lacklustre defending, but the forward could only fire wide of the post.

Rangers had another half-chance from another cross, which was a clear tactic in the early stages, but Marius Zaliukas's header was pushed over the crossbar by Long, who was by far the busier goalkeeper.

Motherwell's best opportunity came in the 35th minute when Lee Erwin turned inside the box, but his effort just fizzed past the post. Marvin Johnson then fired just wide of the post for the home team, before Zaliukas blazed high and wide from close range down the other end.

As it stands, Motherwell will remain in Scotland's top flight, with Rangers spending at least one more season in the Championship.
