Andrew Dickson reports from Fir Park

WALTER SMITH has chosen an attacking line-up as Rangers go for three crucial SPL points at Motherwell this afternoon.

With the Light Blues looking to bounce back from their UEFA Cup final defeat to Zenit St Petersburg, the manager looks set to use a 4-3-3 system at Fir Park.

Out of the side that started at the City of Manchester Stadium go Sasa Papac, Kevin Thomson, Brahim Hemdani, Steven Davis and Jean-Claude Darcheville.

In their places come Christian Dailly, Charlie Adam, Daniel Cousin, Lee McCulloch and Nacho Novo.

That latter trio seem poised to form a three-pronged attack as Gers try to get the win that will keep them in control of the title race.

Smith has striking options on the bench too, with Darcheville, Kris Boyd and John Fleck all available to him if needed too.

MOTHERWELL: G. Smith, Hammell, Reynolds, Craigan, McLean, Hughes, Porter, Clarkson, Lasley, McGarry, D. Smith.

Subs: Daniels, Lappin, McCormack, Fitzpatrick, Connolly, Murphy, Meechan.

RANGERS: Alexander; Broadfoot, Weir, Cuellar, Whittaker;  Dailly, Ferguson, Adam; Novo, Cousin, McCulloch.

Subs: G. Smith, Boyd, Darcheville, Fleck, Furman, McMillan.

Referee: John Underhill.
