Rangers Glasgow – the shape of the team and its analysis:
The "Light Blues" were not particularly impressive last season, finishing in second place yet again. However, it seems they've taken into account that Philippe Clement joined midway through that campaign, so the Belgian has retained his position. But what a tough schedule he faces at the start!
First, in the opening round of the Premiership, there was a challenging away game against a strong Hearts side, which ended in a goalless draw. Immediately following that, they began their Champions League campaign, where they put up a strong fight against Dynamo, eventually securing a well-deserved 1-1 draw in the final minute.
Motherwell – the shape of the team and its analysis:
The "Steelmen" spent another dull season lingering in the lower half of the table. However, they managed to finish in ninth place, most importantly staying clear of the relegation zone.
Currently, Stuart Kettlewell's men have performed reasonably well in the League Cup. They secured two wins and two draws, one of which led to a penalty shootout victory over Montrose, while they lost to Partick Thistle. In the league, they started with a goalless draw against Ross County.
