Following on from Thursday’s winner in the capital, Saturday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me remain in the Scottish Premiership, and I’ve highlighted another goals-based selection in one of the fixtures.
⚽️ Rangers vs Motherwell
🏴 Premiership
⏰ Saturday 5 September, 15:00
Entertainment could be in the offing at Ibrox on Saturday afternoon as Rangers welcome arguably the division's entertainers, Motherwell.
Rangers have bounced back from their embarrassing European exit to Jablonec last Thursday by grinding out a 0-1 win at Pittodrie against Aberdeen thanks to a Lawrence Shankland penalty.
The Rangers skipper was at it again three days later, as his brace was enough to seal a 1-2 victory away at Falkirk, climbing the Teddy Bears up to sixth in the Scottish Premiership table.
The Steelmen remain a point clear of their hosts as they secured a comfortable 3-0 victory at home to 10-man Dundee United in midweek.
Alfred Johansson’s visitors remain unbeaten in the Scottish Premiership this term (W2-D2-L0), thanks to a late leveller in their last away game at second-placed St Mirren last weekend in a six-goal thriller.

Bet of the Day
Whilst Derek McInnes’s men created far more chances in their back-to-back wins over Aberdeen and Falkirk, they still look vulnerable defensively – and I can’t see them keeping out a Motherwell side that has become a bit of a bogey team for them in recent seasons.
The Steelmen’s last four matches in all competitions have produced an impressive 18 goals, with Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals landing in three of them – as well as in both of their away matches in the Scottish Premiership – whilst each of the hosts last eight Premiership have seen Both Teams to Score & Over 2.5 Goals land.
Both Teams to Score has paid out in eight of the last nine meetings between these two sides, with six also going Over 2.5 Goals – including a 2-3 win for Motherwell at Ibrox in their last meeting at the end of April – and I fancy another high-scoring affair with both teams contributing.
