In a thrilling Scottish Premiership showdown at Fir Park, Motherwell staged a dramatic late comeback to hold Rangers to a 1-1 draw, leaving Philippe Clement's side frustrated in their pursuit of three points.
Bair's Last-Gasp Heroics Stun Rangers
Theo Bair emerged as Motherwell's saviour deep into stoppage time, firing home from close range to cancel out Cyriel Dessers' first-half opener for the visitors. The Canadian striker's 92nd-minute strike sent the home supporters into raptures and denied Rangers what had seemed like certain victory.
Tactical Battle Unfolds
Rangers had looked comfortable for much of the match after Dessers' 40th-minute breakthrough, with the Nigerian forward capitalising on a defensive error to slot past Liam Kelly. The visitors dominated possession but struggled to kill the game off, allowing Motherwell to grow in confidence as the match progressed.
Stuart Kettlewell's tactical changes in the second half proved inspired, with the introduction of Jon Obika adding physicality to Motherwell's attack. The home side's persistence was finally rewarded when Bair pounced on a loose ball in the box to earn a deserved point.
Post-Match Reactions
"We showed tremendous character today," beamed Kettlewell. "To keep believing and get our reward in the dying moments speaks volumes about this group."
A visibly frustrated Clement admitted: "We controlled large parts but football is about scoring goals. One moment of switching off has cost us two points."
The result leaves Rangers second in the table, while Motherwell climb to eighth after demonstrating their resilience against one of Scotland's top sides.
