Dazza McGregor’s late consolation goal gives the Ibrox side something to hang onto but the three goals scored earlier put Ian Baraclough’s side in control.
Motherwell are unbeaten in their last seven home matches, including five goal wins over Hamilton and St Mirren, and are strong favourites with the bookies to retain their top flight status.
After last night’s flop Stuart McCall said: “I’m hugely disappointed, that’s as poorly as we’ve been in possession of the ball since I’ve been at the football club,” he said after coming face to face with his old side.
“It’s so frustrating, but take nothing away from Motherwell. I thought they hit us on the break well. I’m sure had they played like that for the majority of the season they wouldn’t have finished 11th.
“But we gave the ball away cheaply too much. I cannot criticise the players because they’ve given everything since I’ve been here and have done well in the majority of the games but tonight too many of us had off-nights.
“Darren McGregor’s late goal gives us a lifeline but Motherwell will be clear favourites and quite rightly so. The first goal on Sunday will be crucial and we’ve got to aim to get it.”
