Huge sighs of relief will ring round Ibrox on Saturday as Premier Sports Cup holders Rangers return from their temporary Hampden home in the second of two all-Premiership ties following Motherwell's victory over Dundee United on Friday.

Rangers started brightly as they sought a route back to Hampden, having only just vacated those premises. Cyriel Dessers' early opener pointed to a potentially comfortable afternoon, but the lack of a second goal in the opening half left the game in the balance at the break.
