Scottish Premiership: Rangers, Livingston, Motherwell, and Ross County feature in Team of the Week | Football News
Celtic remain three points ahead of Rangers in the Scottish Premiership title race after both sides of the Old Firm dropped points this weekend.
Giovanni van Bronckhost’s side failed to take advantage of Celtic’s stalemate with Hibernian on Sunday, throwing away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Motherwell.
The goalless draw at Easter Road was the first time Ange Postecoglou’s side had dropped points in 2022.
In contrast, Rangers have won just 13 of a possible 24 points on offer since the Scottish Premiership returned after the winter break.
It is the second time this season Motherwell have drawn with Rangers at Ibrox and, as a result, the Fir Park side take two places in this Scottish Premiership team of the week after their impressive fightback.
However, it is Livingston who dominate the Team of the Week following their 4-0 win at Dundee.
