Hamza Igamane's second-half brace helped Rangers come back to grab a 2-2 draw at Motherwell, although Philippe Clement's side are now 14 points behind leaders Celtic ahead of their meeting at the Old Firm.

However, the visitors responded in the second period after Clement ran the changes at half-time, with substitute Igaane scoring twice to set up a dramatic finish.
