“It’s THIS Flaw!” Former Ibrox Hero Exposes Why Rangers Are Crumbling — And His Shocking Motherwell Prediction

Former Rangers Goalkeeper Warns of Title Exit as ‘Vulnerable’ Gers Face Crucial Motherwell Test

A former Rangers goalkeeper has delivered a blunt assessment of his old club’s prospects, insisting they are effectively out of the title race following their damaging defeat to Hearts at Tynecastle.

That loss has left the Ibrox side 12 points behind the Edinburgh outfit, albeit with a game in hand, and still six adrift of Celtic. Worryingly for Rangers, they also find themselves below Motherwell in the table — the very team they welcome to Ibrox this Saturday. With home matches against Motherwell and St Mirren to navigate before next weekend’s Old Firm showdown, there is little margin for error.

Cammy Bell, who endured a notorious outing at Fir Park during his playing days, believes Rangers could be facing another difficult afternoon against a Motherwell side in fine form. The former stopper echoed the views of ex-teammate-turned-pundit Kris Boyd, agreeing that Rangers’ title challenge is already over.

Speaking on BBC Sounds’ *Scottish Football Podcast*, Bell pointed to inconsistency as the central issue undermining Rangers’ campaign. He argued that only a dramatic shift in performances and results during the second half of the season could change their fortunes — and even then, he feels recruitment will be key.

Bell was critical of the club’s recent transfer strategy, suggesting the summer window failed to deliver the quality needed to mount a serious challenge. He admitted the defeat to Hearts was a crushing blow but said it did not come as a shock, as he remains unconvinced this Rangers side can consistently deliver in high-pressure matches. Sunday’s result, in his view, simply reinforced those doubts.

Rangers last met Motherwell in a 1–1 draw in Lanarkshire, but much has changed since then. Under Jens Berthel Askou, the Steelmen have developed into an expansive, attacking outfit, losing just twice all season. Their confidence is further boosted by back-to-back victories at Ibrox in recent visits — a statistic that will not be lost on either side.

Bell believes Saturday’s fixture carries huge significance, not only for Rangers’ fading title hopes but also for their grip on second place. He warned that Motherwell will arrive believing they can extend Rangers’ struggles, particularly given what he described as the home side’s current vulnerability.

According to Bell, the immediate focus for Rangers must shift away from the championship picture altogether. Instead, he stressed the importance of building momentum, starting with a must-win clash this weekend. With fans still reeling from the Hearts defeat, another setback could further deepen the sense of frustration around Ibrox and leave Rangers firmly chasing rather than leading for the remainder of the season.
