Motherwell 1-1 Rangers
Rangers dropped points of the opening day for the third Scottish Premiership season in a row after Motherwell scored a late equaliser to deny Russell Martin a winning league Longelo's low strike with three minutes left was just reward for an inspired second-half display by Jens Berthel Askou's new Tavernier's early opener for Rangers came at the expense of an error by home captain Paul McGinn, who needlessly conceded a corner which was nodded low past Calum Ward by the Ibrox a game littered with cheap concession of possession and some careless risk-taking, momentum shifted considerably after the break, with Rangers looking increasingly leggy after their midweek exertions against Just somehow contrived to divert a header off target after a pacy delivery from Callum Slattery, Apostolos Stamatelopoulos almost broke clear, and McGinn nearly atoned for his earlier mistake, but was denied by Jack then nodded just over after an excellent stand-up to the back post from Just. Close but not close enough. The reward came in dramatic fashion, though, when Just chested the ball into Longelo's path and he smashed the ball low past Butland.A point, in truth, was the least Motherwell deserved with substitute Tom Sparrow close to a sensational winner deep into injury time. What was the main talking point? The shift in momentum after half-time. Whether that was down to Rangers tiring after their midweek exertions or an impressive Motherwell display is unclear. But in the second half the home side were completely on top and fully merited taking something. Equally, Rangers just couldn't get a grip of the game, which will be a concern to supporters and Russell Rangers seized on opportunities to attack after Motherwell lost possession in dangerous areas and were rewarded with the opening question at that stage for Motherwell was whether they have the players to execute this style against this quality of opposition? Especially without coveted teenage midfielder Lennon Miller as transfer speculation around him second-half display will have convinced many. But at the first Premiership hurdle, Rangers have stumbled in the type of fixture they have to win if they are to challenge Celtic for the title. Which players stood out? Motherwell's entire team in that second half. You have to credit them for really having a go. Stamatelopoulos got into so many great positions but couldn't finish. Just was a threat on goal and in his set-up play. Longelo takes the headlines but full credit to everyone in claret and Rangers, that second half drop off across the team will be a concern. They have had a testing time but the expectation is to come through that. They didn't. The standout stats Motherwell have only won their opening league game once in 10 seasons and it's 2002 since their last home league win over Rangers. The latter stat remains but doesn't begin to tell the story of this match. A total of 17 shots for the home side was evidence of the threat they carried. They got a point but could easily have recorded that elusive win over Rangers at home. What's next for these teams? Motherwell travel to face St Mirren next Saturday (15:00 BST) while Rangers' hectic schedule continues with a Champions League third round qualifying first leg tie against Viktoria Plzen at Ibrox on Tuesday (19:45).

Kilmarnock 2 Livingston 2: Martindale's men fight back from two down to earn point on Premiership return
A meeting between Kilmarnock and Livingston perhaps wasn't the most eye-catching of the six Premiership fixtures on the schedule to kick off the opening weekend of the new campaign, but the rest will do well to top the entertainment offered up at Rugby Park. The first of many 'El Plastico' derbies set to grace the Scottish top flight this year contained everything you could hope to see. Two fingers well and truly stuck up to those who can't wait to ditch the artificial turf at the end of this season. David Martindale must have been wondering how his players went into the break two goals down. But a stirring second-half fightback — aided in no small part by a red card for Kilmarnock defender George Stanger — earned them a share of the spoils. Their well-known — and wildly unpopular — attritional approach was ditched in favour of a more attacking mindset in the Championship last term. Martindale suggested that would be way of things going forward as they look to improve on their measly tally of five wins recorded during their most recent Premiership campaign. And on this evidence, it looks like he'll be true to his word. They were slick early on. On-loan Celtic man Adam Montgomery was first to threaten. His shot from the edge of the edge of the area took a nick on the way through to Max Stryjek, who made a quick readjustment down to his left to keep it out. Stryjek's fellow summer arrivals Marcus Dackers and Djenairo Daniels at the other end showed the odd glimpse of quality, but that strike partnership will clearly take some time to gel. The service wasn't up to much, to be fair. That all changed seven minutes before the interval. Liam Polworth robbed Montgomery midway inside the visitors' half, before feeding an inch-perfect ball in behind for Daniels to run on to. From an acute angle and with Ryan McGowan for company, the big Dutchman lashed a brilliant left-footed strike high into the net for his third goal since making the switch from Cork City. A lengthy VAR check for offside followed before referee Matthew MacDermid pointed to the centre circle. That advantage was immediately doubled. Montgomery once again failed to cover himself in glory, allowing former Livi captain Jamie Brandon to nick in before cutting the ball across the six-yard line. Jerome Prior's parry landed right at the feet of the grateful David Watson, who prodded home. It's set to be a big campaign for the 20-year-old. After scooping up all the awards in his first full season of first-team football, he found himself dropped to the bench for a decent chunk of last year before successfully reclaiming his place. Stuart Kettlewell played no small part in turning Lennon Miller into a multi-million pound talent at Motherwell. Watson, it would seem, is in good hands. Robbie Muirhead appeared to have a decent shout for penalty on the hour mark after being hauled down by Stanger. MacDermid was quick to wave it away but overturned that decision after being called over — around 30 seconds after the incident — for a look at the pitchside monitor. A red card for the Killie defender to boot. 'I do want the centre-back to deal with the ball,' Kettlewell said. 'I don't think it's going at enough pace to guarantee that it's going back to the goalkeeper. 'But even at that, George's contact, is it enough for Muirhead to go down in the fashion that he does? I probably sit in the camp of it being soft, really soft. 'But once you put yourself in that position, it becomes a difficult one to argue.' Muirhead made no mistake from the spot. Substitute Zak Rudden was thwarted by the feet of Stryjek, but the ex-Livi keeper could do nothing to stop Scott Pittman powering in a richly deserved equaliser on the 86th minute thanks to great work from Macauley Tait down the right-hand side. 'I would have probably taken a point before the game,' Martindale admitted. 'You have to remember who you're playing. 'We are a new group back in the Premiership, albeit a few of us have been there before, so coming away to Kilmarnock is going to be difficult game. 'But I was happy with how the boys bounced back, they showed real resilience.'

Skeldon's World Cup in doubt after ankle injury against Ireland
Scotland hooker Lana Skeldon might miss the World Cup with injury after she suffered a serious-looking ankle injury in the loss against 81-cap Bristol Bears forward was hurt trying to make a tackle and received treatment on the field for eight minutes before being taken off on a stretcher."She was taken away to hospital just to have a look at it," head coach Bryan Easson told media."It was an ankle injury and she's going for an X-ray, so hopefully we'll find out sooner rather than later. But as to what it is, we don't know SRU statement post-match wrote that Skeldon "is in good spirits, is undergoing further assessment and remains in good hands with our medical team."Losing 31-year-old Skeldon would be an enormous blow for Easson as the Borders-born hooker is one of his key players and Martin has played back-up to Skeldon for the last few seasons, while Molly Wright - who can play across the front row - could also be an option. 21-year-old Aila Ronald is in the wider World Cup squad, but is yet to make her Scotland winger Rhona Lloyd was a late exclusion from the matchday squad to play Ireland, but Easson said it was "precautionary"."She had a little twinge in her quad during the captain's run on Friday so we felt that it wasn't worth the risk, but it was precautionary," the head coach said.
