What's interesting about this first half is it's much more obvious what Rangers are trying to do relative to three or four games ago. It's often just the final pass in the final third that lets them down.

Motherwell have just continued to play with the freedom of their earlier games this season and, indeed, last term. They just haven't found enough space in the penalty area as yet.

Rangers press on their left and Djeidi Gassama pulls an effort wide.

Kilmarnock go close up the other end! This time, Greg Kiltie is slipped down the right by Joe Hugill.

The attacking midfielder drills for the bottom corner, across the goalkeeper, but Marius Muller gets a touch to tip it past the post. Good save.

Much better from United to end the half.

The hosts are enjoying much more of the ball, but they are just lacking that quality final ball to test Scott Bain in the Falkirk goal.

Lyall Cameron's free kick causes trouble in the box, but Zac Sapsford skews his shot wide.

The closest we've come to a goal!

Lewis Smith lays off to Tony Yogane on the left, the Dons winger cuts back onto his right and curls for the top corner, but he just doesn't get enough whip on the ball, smacking the post.

Chance Motherwell.

Lukas Fadinger breaks into the box and his effort is blocked.

It breaks for Tawanda Maswanhise, who somehow glues the ball to his feet as he attracts three Rangers defenders and Emmanuel Fernandez concedes the corner.

In comes the delivery from Alex Lowry and Jake Girdwood-Reich volleys over.

Kilmarnock midfielder Aaron Tshibola quickly joins Aberdeen's Chris Cadden in the book, clattering into Lewis Smith on the halfway line.

Frustrations growing for both sides.

Ryan Naderi earns some plaudits from the home fans with a bit of closing down that leads to a Rangers corner.

James Penrice's shot is cleared from the first one and Kim Min-su's delivery is headed wide by Naderi with the second. The German forward really needed to hit the target there.

Chris Cadden is the first into the book, as the Aberdeen right-back cynically trips a charging Greg Kiltie.

The Killie captain has shown great endeavour in this half, setting down a marker for his teammates.

Kim Min-su took the responsibility for Rangers' penalty but could not hit the target.

Owen Eames looks very lively on his Falkirk debut.

A cross from the right side trickles all the way through to the attacker on the left side and his strike goes out for a corner.

The Falkirk support will be happy with the energy from their new signing on loan from Derby.

Joe Hodge goes in strongly on Dujon Sterling and the Rangers defender appears hurt.

Physios on again and this may be another injury blow for the hosts in this first half.

I have liked Dan Neil today, but that was the worst thing he has done.

It was a poor cross, but it was a silly challenge.

Really, really poor penalty gives Motherwell a real lift now.

United appear to have woken up and have enjoyed a bit of possession.

A deep cross is delivered with Zac Sapsford moving in, but the Australian striker is about an inch away from making contact and the ball bounces out.

Kim Min-su steps up hoping to score his first Rangers goal in the absence of captain Lawrence Shankland, but the winger flashes his shot wide.

Big let off for Motherwell.
