We’re down to our last few bottles of our limited edition Motherwell FC Loch Lomond 10-year-old single malt.

Our whisky partners Lomond Group made a special run of 500 bottles for fans to enjoy but they’ve been snapped up fast. Get yours now to avoid missing out.

Priced at just £50 with free delivery included, you can order yours now.

This single malt has been created by Michael Henry, Loch Lomond’s Master Blender. He chose two single casks and married them together to create this wonderful single malt.

Matured in American Oak casks from Loch Lomond’s own on-site cooperage, it delivers fruity and honey-sweet malt with some hints of toffee and warming cinnamon spice.

This whisky opens on a gentle honeyed sweetness with green apple, pear and fresh vanilla. There is some juicy peach and apricot with chewy toffee, then warming cinnamon spice on the finish.

Motherwell play their penultimate match before the SWPL1 winter shutdown with a trip to face Rangers.

Kick-off on Sunday 6 December at the Rangers Training Complex is at 3pm.

The match, which is closed to supporters, will be broadcast live on RangersTV.

Tale of the tape

The four meetings between Motherwell and Rangers have been keenly-contested affairs to date.

The first came in the SWPL Cup in 2018, as second-tier Motherwell lost 1-0 away from home.

Since then, a 3-3 home draw in their first league encounter was followed by a 4-3 win for Rangers, and a 3-1 victory for the Light Blues thereafter.

Form guide

Rangers have won four of their five SWPL1 fixtures this season, finding themselves level on points with Celtic and three points off leaders Glasgow City.

A home victory to Hearts was followed by away wins at Spartans, Hibernian and Forfar Farmington. The one black mark came in a 1-0 home loss to Celtic.

Motherwell have one win from a difficult opening five games, which came in a 3-0 thumping of Hearts away from home.

A chance to make an impact

“Our two games before the break are Rangers away and Celtic at home,” said manager Eddie Wolecki Black.

“Both have made strides to improve in the last year and they are in good form this year. But we are definitely capable of getting something from the match.

“We’ve shown this season we have the ability to trouble any team we come up against. We will head to Glasgow in a positive frame of mind.”

Scottish Premiership action returns to Fir Park on Saturday, with Hibernian coming calling to ML1.

These are the storylines going into the match.

Home form

Motherwell are unbeaten in their last three matches at Fir Park against Hibs.

A 0-0 draw last time out came off the back of a 3-0 win at the start of the 2019/20 campaign, and a 1-0 victory in January 2019.

Prolific on their travels

While Hibs lost their last away game at Aberdeen, before that they were in terrific form on the road.

In all competitions in the 2020/21 season, Jack Ross’ men have won seven out of 10, drawing one and losing two.

Top six ambitions

A win for Stephen Robinson’s side on Saturday can lift them to within two points of fourth-placed Hibernian.

Hibs meanwhile could leapfrog Aberdeen into third with a victory and, depending on results elsewhere, could move to within one point of second-placed Celtic.

PJ Morrison faced arguably the toughest test of his young career at the weekend.

The goalkeeper, performing well for League One leaders Falkirk on loan, found himself pitched against a rampant Rangers team in the Betfred Cup last 16.

In the end, the Glasgow side ran out 4-0 winners but valuable experience was gained against Jermaine Defoe and company.

Elsewhere, Jamie Semple was an unused sub for Cove Rangers in their 1-1 draw at Airdrie, while Sam Muir was also on the bench as Gretna won 1-0 against Berwick Rangers.

Ross MacIver’s Greenock Morton weren’t in action at the weekend, while Harry Robinson remains on the sidelines.

Kick-off on Saturday at Fir Park is at 3pm.

Tale of the tape

The last two encounters between the two sides have finished 0-0, with respective games at Easter Road and Fir Park scoreless.

You have to go back to October 2017 to find a home team in the fixture losing the tie, with Hibs winning four home games and Motherwell winning twice at Fir Park in between.

Form guide

Motherwell lost their first domestic match to a non-Old Firm team since 22 August in Betfred Cup defeat against St Johnstone last weekend.

That record remains intact on league business, with the Steelmen taking 13 points from a possible 15 against St Johnstone, Aberdeen, Livingston and Ross County.

Hibernian progressed in the Betfred Cup with a 1-0 home win over Dundee at the weekend, extending a four-game unbeaten run which included another win over Dundee, as well as home draws against Celtic and St Johnstone.

Jack Ross’ men sit fourth in the table with 26 points from 15 games, 10 points ahead of Motherwell having played two more.

“We got what we deserved. It wasn’t good enough.”

Stephen Robinson on Motherwell’s Betfred Cup last 16 exit.

Motherwell surrendered a lead to exit the Betfred Cup at the hands of St Johnstone.

Tony Watt’s goal on the hour mark gave the hosts the advantage, but strikes from Callum Hendry and David Wotherspoon sent the Saints through to the quarter-finals.

Ricki Lamie was restored at left-back ahead of Nathan McGinley in the only change to the 18 which drew 1-1 at McDiarmid Park last weekend.

A cagey start from both saw chances limited. Wotherspoon fired wide from distance for the visitors, while Declan Gallagher headed over from a Liam Polworth corner in the opening exchanges.

Aaron Chapman was called upon late in the first half to keep out Ali McCann’s close-range shot from May’s flick, with the goalkeeper sticking out a leg to make a vital block.

Both sides started the second half tentatively but Motherwell started to carve out set plays and benefited from one on the hour mark.

Polworth sent his deep free kick to the edge of the box, meeting the head of Ricki Lamie to flick on.

Watt gambled and found the ball at his feet six yards out. Steadying himself, he slotted the ball past Clark to give the hosts the lead.

But the visitors would rally and they found their equaliser eight minutes later.

Lamie’s short back pass allowed O’Halloran to race in and fire across goal from wide on the right side.

Chapman stuck out a leg but only diverted it into the path of Hendry, who tapped home the leveller.

Worse would follow with 15 minutes left. O’Halloran again got down the right side and had time to fire in a low cross, with Wotherspoon on hand to steer it in.

Jordan White was introduced as ‘Well went four in attack but they couldn’t carve out the chance to get level, and exited the competition at the first time of asking.
