A first-half goal from Cyriel Dessers proved enough for Rangers to see off Motherwell 1-0 but the visitors did not relinquish their long unbeaten record on the road without a major fight.
Dessers netted against the run of play in the 24th minute when he diverted Rabbi Matondo’s strike past the Motherwell goalkeeper, Liam Kelly. Rangers had chances to extend their lead but there were several anxious moments for the home support in the latter stages as Oli Shaw and Blair Spittal in particular came close.
