What They're Saying
Rangers manager Stuart McCall (via the Daily Record): "I won't be celebrating, regardless of which way it goes. It is because it's [my former club] Motherwell? Yes, that's it. I'm not even going to think about it. There won't be anything from my point of view. I don't want to talk about it just now, though, because it's like tempting fate. In years gone by, during my time as a player at Rangers, we would have a big function back at Ibrox after a final or big game-win, lose or draw. But I know there won't be one in the aftermath of Sunday."
Motherwell manager Ian Baraclough (via the Express): "We know it will be a fervent crowd at Ibrox and we are going to have to silence them as much as we can. As a player, I wanted to thrive on that. I wanted to silence the crowd and put them on the back foot a little bit."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Despite his age, Kenny Miller has proven to be a productive striker for Rangers this campaign. In 28 appearances, the 35-year-old has seven goals.
